it's not the second anniversary gift? idk it's the gift that's 'sposed to be cotton not the cake-- i'm so confused--
a t-shirt cake or a monogrammed tea towel cake?
That is one odd Anniversary theme!
I would incorporate the cotton flowers (not sure if they are flowers or what?), but I would use white cotton candy (I know its not easy if you don't have a machine but maybe you could buy premade white cotton candy) and make like a cascade of cotton flowers around the cake? Could be kinda cool looking.
isn't paper the first anniversary gift?

Cotton does indeed have flowers, and their seeds have a soft fuzzy coating. I got some cotton seeds from a friend and I'll be planting them this year :). Cotton comes in other natural colors besides white: gray, green, and brown too.
It came from here: http://www.spar.msstate.edu/class/EPP-2008/Chapter%201/Reading%20material/Temperature%20including%20Extremes/cotton_heat_Units1.pdf
comes a bloom tag (d)"
Gardening is my other hobby, lols. :)
I also Googled Cotton Wedding Flowers and got people's wedding decor that used cotton plants, it had some nice ideas. I also like this picture, it's a cotton boll that looks like a flower: http://www.agricorner.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Cotton-flower-bloom.jpg
Thanks everyone, K8 in France its cotton. I have no idea what to do. I worry that it will turn out looking like towels or laundry like Rfisher says. I have googled different ideas in terms of cake of cotton, anniversary cake cotton etc but have not found anything. Please keep the ideas coming, thanks so much.
Client wants something that will easily be recognized at the anniversary party as cotton for the first year, I don't think she can be talked out of it.
The cotton flower looks cool, maybe I can do something with it. It's for 20 people so if I do a cake for that size and then have these cotton flowers on it? although I'm not sure how recognizable they are.
AI'm in a huge cotton field area! The dry pods with the fluffy cotton are beautiful. Just Google it! Lots of inspiration just from this screen shot here.[IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3235886/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
ACould you use an impression mat (or even a clean piece of lint-free, loose-weave fabric) to make the fondant covering the cake look like cotton fabric?
AI'd make a main "blossom", dried of course, with the fluffy poofs. I'd make it look I broke a branch off, with a couple dry leaves attached. I'd bend that around the top tier slightly, like it was laid there, slightly bent upwards. I'd make one or two more smaller ones, to put on the cake drum, with a leaf. For the other decorations, I'd wrap fondant ribbon to look like raffia, and tie that around the biggest tierx right in the middle, and the top tier would have a monogram of some sort in complimentary colors.
idk--the first one is baby shower and the second one is tied up lady fingers--neither esp cotton-y to me
a cotton field with a cotton bale or two?
i think a monogrammed tea towel with a cotton boll embroidered on it--would be easy & flat & cottony & anniversarious

Just burst out laughing at that word, love it!
You're right about the cakes, I'm just trying to get a feel although I definitely think that between AZ's idea and yours I will manage to make something resembling cotton.
Rfisher we're still waiting for the photo......

AI've actually seen cotton used a wedding "flower" and it was really beautifully done. AZ's ideas make me think of something like this..[URL=http://www.cottonman.com/images/Bridal%20Bouquet/Duval%20Boutonnieres%201.jpg]http://www.cottonman.com/images/Bridal%20Bouquet/Duval%20Boutonnieres%201.jpg[/URL]
