The Cake

Most of you know that I have a little side business of cake decorating, and though many of you think I'm crazy, I am doing my own wedding cake. I've been decorating cakes since high school, so during that time, you would think I have had my wedding cake picked for a while. Well...that is not the case. Eric knew exactly what he wanted. Can anybody guess? Memorial Stadium GO BIG RED! So I'm getting all of his details hashed out. I think this stadium cake pan will help tremendously. I also have a few tricks up my sleeve that even the groom might not know about. hmmm... So after many nights of searching I have a vision of my cake. Actually it is a combination of a these pictures. I definitely know I want the layers stacked directly on top of each other. With traditional round layers I think it will have a simple yet elegant appeal to it. I love this brown one with the scrolls. I'm not really a lot of flowers on the cake kinda girl but definitely love scrollies. This other cake is going to be the base of my idea. I love how the color shows through on the bottom of the layers. With my colors as royal blue and ivory, I think it will look so vibrant. Now the trick is to not make everyone's mouth blue hehehe. Hopefully that gives you an idea of the look I'm going for and task I am undertaking. Because I can not come up with the actual picture, you will definitely have to make sure to check out the cake.
