After reading all of your great responses to my previous post and talking about it with Mr. Pumpkin and my SIL, we have decided to choose a new cake design. I just couldn’t imagine standing behind a fake cake and pretending to cut it, I would have felt like a fool. And when I feel like a fool it shows ALL over my face - you should see my Grad photos where they made me hold a bunch of roses and look into the distance! Silliness, I just can’t do it. So, we need a new cake design. What do we all think of these options?

They are all very pretty cakes and I think they would be much easier to make than my original. Of course they would all be changed to some sort of pink brown combo, and the last one with the purple flowers would be changed to brown branches and pink cherry blossoms. The blue one would be changed to just a white cake with brown branches but no birds (Miss Plum - have you seen this cake? I have a feeling you might like it!).

I think I am leaning towards the square cake with pink and red flowers on it, but I’m not sure. I will also have to see which ones she thinks she can do. I’m guessing that the first one will be taken off the table as soon as she sees it but you never know! She agreed that if we want to do a cake with different layers we can just make the more complicated designs be the fake layers and she can take her time icing them, and then the plain layers would be the real ones so that she doesn’t have to do as much work the night before the wedding. Thanks for all of your advice, I am feeling much better about this now!

Which one is your favourite?
