I LOVE my job!

I was looking at a Bridal magazine for some ideas for my one of bride's "inspiration folder". This magazine had an article of the top 50 best cakes, or something like that. Wedding cakes no longer come in the usual sheet cake or 3-tiered. They are looking like pure art. One cake reminded me of something out of Dr. Seuss. Some are very lavish and extraordinary, but some are just fun and exquisite.

I am excited to see what some of my brides have come up with for their cakes. In recent weeks, Chris and I watched the Martha Stewart Wedding DVDs and they had one DVD dedicated to cakes. It was awesome. One of the cake decorators had a tip (I don't know if it would work here, but it's worth a try). If you want a cake that looks bigger, want to save money on it, and don't need so much cake, she said to have them use Styrofoam as fillers. That's a pretty cool idea, although I wonder how that would be cheaper, because ultimately you're paying them for their art they perform on your cake. Still, it wouldn't hurt to try.
