WEDDING NOTES –CAKE IN YOUR FACE …NOT!
Just to let you know there will be no cake in my face….
I had to google the wedding cake tradition to see what’s up with it
Most people don’t associate the wedding cake with having lots of children anymore, instead the wedding cake has become kind of a first meal for the bride and groom. Today’s couples cut a slice before anyone else and feed it to each other, symbolizing the support they’ll provide through their many years together.
or this one
Nowadays we are much too civilized to crumble cake over the bride’s head. Instead, the bride and groom cut the cake together and take beautiful photos…and then, in some cases, the groom lovingly smashes the cake in the glowing bride’s face – not too civilized after all are we?
Now, I got that over with lets talk about cake..
These cakes are so yummy you don’t wont to waste a single calorie.

I vote for the first one. It is lovely…

Both are pretty, but B really catches my eye/
Warning Comment
They are both gorgeous! But the first one really caught my eye. It just looks more like a beach – Ocean theme. It almost looks too good to eat. The other one looks too fancy schmancy to me. The first one is just beautiful.. and has a calm look to it.. Haha, a calm cake! A all the way!
Warning Comment
I love B! Oh, we had lots of arguments about him not smashing the cake in my face on the big day. He was convinced it was tradition, and therefore he was going to do it, no matter what. I forgot what I threatened that finally made him agree not to, but it worked. And then I smashed the cake in his face! HA!

I LOVE B!

I hate the whole cake-in-the-face thing. We most certainly did not do that!
Warning Comment
Both are beautiful. I am wondering if your colors match cake A, if so then that’s a nice one. Cake B looks more elegant and goes with the beach/wedding theme. Smashing cake in the brides face would be cause for the first martial fight in my case!! 🙂
Warning Comment
I like B. What really counts is the TASTE. Not like any bride actually sat down and had a whole piece of cake. Hummmmmmmmm, I coulda made a naughty note out of the above, really easy.
Warning Comment
I liked B better.
Warning Comment
Definately B………..so elegant
Warning Comment
I liked A

I never understood cake in the face. It’s so disrespectful. If you are going with a beach theme, then I like the first one better. The second one looks a lot more formal. The first one is beautiful, completely original, yet casual formal. It looks like you have votes on both sides, so you’ll have to let us know what you choose.
Warning Comment
Leave it to me to come up with this, but A brought a picture of eating sand to my mind, I like the beach idea but…B is a little too formal, but if I pick one or the other, it would have to be B.
Warning Comment
I really like B!
Warning Comment
smashing wedding cake in faces is not a custom here. thank god. of those two, i’d choose b.

ryn: almost forgot…i used microsoft picture it software. very easy to do.

I really like B!

you’ve been tagged

i really like A but it probably depends on the colors of your wedding because of the blue…
Warning Comment
I love them both, but I love the second one just a bit more.
Warning Comment
I like the second one. They’re both nice and beachy, but the second one says “remember…I’m a wedding cake.”
Warning Comment
i would be so upset if my fiance even thought about smashing our cake in my face… i definitely like option b better… i think it looks more elegant.
Warning Comment
I love B, and I’ll tell you why I like it better than A. :o) Blue really narrows your field of colour choices for everything, and cake A has a LOT of shells on it. Cake B has a really pretty pattern, but not a lot of shells. However, I don’t care for the gold look, and if you feel the same, I’m sure you could alter it to pink or cream or anything. Beach receptions are fantastic. Have fun!
Warning Comment
I like the first one, such a lovely color!
Warning Comment
I like the coral design on the 2nd one a lot. the tradition behind cake is that it is a symbol that you will provide for one another. through this, you provide one another with a taste of cake. or something like that.
Warning Comment
I love B. The first one is a bit busy for my tastes. I am having a beach theme reception as well (getting married in Jamaica) so I am looking for ideas too 🙂
Warning Comment
I like the second one. The first one’s a little…too much for my taste. The second is simple but elegant.
Warning Comment
eww those r ugly
Warning Comment
i like A 🙂
Warning Comment
Well Mike IS REALLY amazing. But those shells look too real. I dont know about you, but Ive had sand in my mouth and I have nightmares about it regularly, so I wouldnt go anywhere near either of these cakes! But if I had to choose one, Id choose the second MINUS the sand. The shells look like shells but also look like candy, so its alright 🙂 I love fondant.
Warning Comment
I knowthe sand is sugar, too, but still. I would stay away. LOL I love the coral pattern on the second as well.
Warning Comment
I love A. It’s just pretty. Are those sugar shells? Are the eatable in other words? Take care!
Warning Comment
I like the first one. I said “oh wow” when I saw it, for real.
Warning Comment
light blue/gray not good if someone has had too much to drink.. just saying.
Warning Comment
I like B better. A is lovely, but my first impression was that it looked more like a seashell display than a cake, lol.
Warning Comment
I like B. When we went to pick out our cake, thw two of us and the cake guy agreed blue was an odd color to eat. As for cake smashing, my fiance and I agreed not to do it. Why make yourself messy! I told him he’s going to have to face all that peer pressure and he said he’d handle it. 😉
Warning Comment
I like B. Actually, they’re both beautiful (quit stressing!), but I think I like B a teensy bit more.
Warning Comment
I really love the first one!
