Wedding Cake Plans

Now that I'm home from college for good and Christmas day marks the TWO MONTH mark for my wedding I'm trying to go full steam ahead to get these last details finished!! Thus, I hope you don't mind a lot of wedding related posts as I check some things off my list :)

Today I met with my reception site and picked out a wedding cake design (included with my package). Here is my grand scheme:

I'm in LOVE with the whole ruffle frosting trend right now. However, I didn't want a whole ruffled cake because I think they look a little too plain. So, I came across this cake:

And loved the idea of just having a ruffle on the side. However, it looks like that whole cake is done with fondant (I know these super professional terms from watching cake boss with my mom. Yeah, so impressive I know) and that would cost more than my package comes with!! So, I told them they could do a non-fondant version. The white of the cake would just be smooth icing and the ruffles would look more like this:

But only on a little section.  And thennnnn just because I still thought it was a litttttle too plain I asked for a few flowers to be made to line the ruffle similar to these:

And so a like 2 minute paint drawing on my computer leads to a general idea of this...but only much prettier. (Hey, I may be crafty but I am NOT an artist!!! haha)
So any thoughts? What did your wedding cake look like? There all so pretty, it's a shame the first bit will be smashed into my face haha :)

  1. my wedding cake looked like a package with a big bow...what can I say? It was on trend in the nineties!

    In my opinion fondant is pretty, but does not taste good. I used to decorate cakes (just for family parties) and I always did smooth butter cream icing with some accents in fondant. I rarely covered a whole cake in fondant because it is expensive and most people just throw it away.

    I think you have some beautiful cake options! Good luck with the plans...I can't wait to see more.

  3. OOOO... it's going to be so pretty! Some fondant tastes good, but it's the texture that gets me. I'd rather have FROSTING. lol

    I made my own cake...what can I say I was on a budget! It was a two layer (one to freeze, one to cut) for us in white icing with teal piping and strawberry "hearts" on top. Then I did cupcakes with teal frosting and more strawberry "hearts". It looked pretty good! Granted, the heat pretty much melted my frosting, but heck it tasted good!! I was happy with it =)

  6. I'm with the others, I think you'll be better off without the fondant anyway. I like your vision, I think it will look great!
