Q: Chocolate wedding cake?
Is it ok to have a chocolate iced wedding cake? My colors are pink and brown and I though chocolate icing would be a good way to incorporate the brown into the cake.

A: Most people use white so it is like the wedding dress but I know people that have used chocolate cake!!! It tasted very good, everyone remembers that wedding better, plus with it being one of ur colors it would work out better that way anyways and look very nice!

Q: Pink and Chocolate wedding?
My wedding colors are pink and chocolate and I need ideas to make the reception look fabulous!! so far I am using an arbor over my cake, pink and chocolate overlays on the tables with beveled mirrors, votives and bubble vases filled wtih lots of pink roses, chocolate roses, ferns and chocolate colored berries. I am thinking of getting the “I DO” letters in chocolate to put on the buffet table in front of the centerpeice. I also have small diamonds to scatter on the tables…..but I feel like i need a little extra oomph!! Oh and I am having a pink and chocolate wish tree with crystal garland…….any other suggestions that are inexpensive and small to give it that little extra?
I am doign beer and wine, martinis would be too expensive…..and my favors are chocolate and pink chocolate with the bags in chocolate and pink. i thought about a candy bar or a chocolate fountain but there will be too many kids there and in my experience with weddings, it is a MESSY thing to have with a lot of kids present….lol
well i am not decorating the chairs because the chairs that the country club provides are so pretty i dont’ want to cover them…..we are just doing the white table clothes with every other table beign either pink or chocolate…..so like 10 pink tables and 10 chocolate tables…..

A: It sounds like you have a FABULOUS plan! Maybe you could have pink and chocolate “silk” draped over the entranceway to the reception.

Q: Can you buy edible diamonds for a wedding cake?
Hey guys!

My theme for my wedding is diamonds and chocolate. Im doing chocolate brown, white and light pink accents, and I want diamonds on everything.

I found a great wedding cake that I want, and I would LOVE to have some kinda of diamonds on it, but I don’t know how to work that into it. Any ideas?
Do you know if I can get some kind of edible diamonds, or how to get somethin that looks like diamonds?

A: Sugar can make crystals that look like diamonds.

Q: help i’m making my friends wedding cake ?
I need a good recipes for a wedding cake that is easily made and can be filled with chocolate. decorations include roses and a delicate pink frosting.thanks

A: I seriously think you’re better off leaving a wedding cake to the professionals…think about it. This is their big day and the cake has got to be picture perfect. So yeah…maybe you can just pick up the tab on the cake.

Q: Wedding Cake design suggestions?
Hi everyone,
I’m planning my wedding for this December and I haven’t really given any thought to a cake! I’m really open to anything, traditional or modern, any flavor. Chocolate is yummy but not a requirement.

Here’s some background info to inspire you:
My wedding colors are pale pink and black- the 4 bridesmaids will be wearing black satin dresses with pale pink sashes or wraps. I’m letting them choose the style of dress they want- strapless, halter, etc, so they can all be comfortable and happy!

So, anything that would encorporate the two wedding colors would be fine by me. Our tastes in general tend to lean towards sleek, minimalist, and contemporary, as opposed to ornate or flowery. (A flower design could be cool, just wouldn’t want it to be too old-timey). Basically, I feel like it’s just a cake and cakes are for enjoying, so as long as it looks decent for the pictures and tastes awesome, it’s cool!

Thanks so much in advance.

A: As a cake decorator if you came to me with these parameters I’d suggest a very pale pink cake with black accents such as dots and black open weave ribbon instead of icing borders and that the ribbon border would be thinner for each smaller layer with pale pink flowers or initials with some flowers and the thinest of black ribbon draping down to accent the top layer. You might want a few petals or flowers to highlight the bottom layers but not a lot.

Q: Making my own wedding cake?
Ok, so I can cook/bake/make almost anything (as long as I have directions on some things). Well there probably will only be around 50 guests at our wedding (very small, but at lot of people can’t come bc they are out of state). I figured I could make my own wedding cake. Here’s my idea. I’m buying a 3 tier cake stand (the plates are different diameters, bottom one biggest, top one smallest). Well I’m wanting to make a 3 layer cheesecake for each tier. They are all going to be chocolate cheesecake and decorated with pink sprinkle sugar stuff and the top one the topper will be on w/a couple of pink lilies on it, and the bottom 2 tiers will just have pink lilies on them. It’s looking good in my head, but just wanting some people’s opinions on it. Any suggestons will be helpful. I’m doing them choc w/pink decor bc my colors are choc. brown & pink. I’m pretty confifent in my cooking abilities though.Thanks!
oh great idea about the ribbon! I’m going to do that too! =) (Oh and I will have plenty of time to make it, like I said its going to be a small wedding).
Oh and I’m going to have a practice run next month with my idea, just incase so I have plenty of time to order one, lol!

A: That sounds so good! Yes, and you can even maybe get your Mother-In-Law to be to help you! Good Luck!

Q: is this to much sweet stuff to have at my wedding?
ok im having a pink chocolate fountain which will serve 6 pieces (ie strawberries/marshmallows etc) per head.
i am having a cupcake wedding cake so everyone will have a chocolate cupcake with frosting on.
and im having a candy buffet which will have abit of chocolate but mainly ’sweets/candy’ like love heart, jelly belly beans etc. this is the only sweet stuff being served at the wedding. everything else will be savoury in the buffet. is this to much though? not everyone i imagine will use the chocolate fountain.

A: it maybe a waste of money because if they are drinking they probally dont have a sweet tooth.. have u thought about making the fountain cheese instead and maybe not the sweet buffet..it could be a waste of money that u could spend another way..im just giving u a honest answer

Q: What was you wedding cake like?
While I’ve been planning my own wedding, I’ve started to wonder what everyone else’s cake looked like? Or what you want your future cake to be like? What flavors did you use? The cake that we are planning is going to be 4 square layers with white frosting (or possibly fondant…) seperated by pink, yellow, and white roses with lace and pearl designs. We’re planning on the each layer being a different flavor, spice, chocolate with rasberry filling, white with lemon filling and red velvet.

It will be similar to this one. (not exactly obviously, but this is the picture that I showed the designer.)

If anyone has any photos of theirs of of their dream cake please post them, I’d love to see them! Thank you!

A: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=31726502&l=212a6&id=41301686
Here’s a picture of mine; it was delicious! The bottom layer was almond poppyseed with raspberry filling and the top two layers were italian cream cake with apricot-pineapple-rum filling. Cream cheese frosting. There was also a german chocolate groom’s cake that was a hit.
The cake you chose is beautiful! Beware of fondant icing- it is basically crisco and sugar and it tastes pretty awful.
White with lemon sounds so yummy as does red velvet. I wish I would have thought of the red velvet.

Q: If money wasn’t an issue if and when you got married what would you want served at the reception!?
For me I have one of two ideas,if it was just a plate dinner I’d have the choice of:
A cute garden salad
Prime Rib or Lobster tail
Baked potato or Wild rice
Grilled vegetables or Asparagus

Or if I had a buffet,I’d have a soul food theme
Fried Chicken,Smothered Pork Chops,BBQ Ribs,Fried Catfish,Red Beans and Rice,Collard Greens,Candied Yams,Macaroni and Cheese,Cabbage,smothered potatoes and lots more

Oh and my wedding cake at either weather it’s a plate dinner or a buffet dinner would be this huge chocolate cake with a layer of white chocolate fudge,snickers bars,and chocolate mousse in it,with pink frosting and my favorite flowers white daisies decorating it!

So what would be yalls ideas?
lol Brown I haven’t found that lucky guy yet but when I do I have 90% of my wedding set up….does that make me sad?
Oh yeah I forgot to add an open bar too

A: (buffet style, definately) standing rib roast or filet mignon and bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breast….herb roasted potatoes or au gratin potatoes….french onion soup….glazed carrots….green beans with almonds….green dinner salad….fresh fruit kabobs….fresh strawberry pie and a big wedding cake with strawberries and whipped cream frosting….chocolate fountain….ice sculptures….champagne/open bar.
However, I do like the soul food theme too but the food is very filling and heavy for this particular day….on Sunday’s it’s perfect.

Q: Recipe for chocolate fondant?
Okay new to this, what is a simple recipe for chocolate fondant?? And, pink fondant?

Trying to make bows, balls, flat polka dots and maybe spirals/swirls for decoration on a modern design wedding cake.

Plus any tips on how to make perfectly flat edges and corners (square cake) with the icing would be appreciated. And, tiers?? Dowel rods??

A: Your best bet is to buy ready to use fondant (from a bakery warehouses) add melted dark chocolate (room temp) and a bit of light corn syrup (so that its workable, use powdered sugar to keep it from sticking) you may need to add brown food coloring to make it brown. As for pink fondant…add light corn syrup and a hint of red food coloring (use powdered sugar to keep it from sticking) as for everything else, please feel free to email me…
I made this cake last summer!

waaaboow

Q: Cake suggestions please?
I am having cupcakes for my wedding, with sweetpea coloured icing on top (lavender, pink, white etc) and we are growing our own sweetpeas to intertwine through them all to decorate. On top of the cupcakes are some sweets also in sweetpea colours. Some of the cakes will be chocolate and they will have the white icing, the rest vanilla with the pinks and purples (what other colour might be good??).

For the top tier, we want a small 6″ cake we can cut. We would love it to be chocolate but chocolate icing might look out of place with the rest of them. We also like butter icing instead of the hard stuff.

Any suggestions for the top cake that would fit in with the rest? I thought chocolate cake with icing top and sides so the cake can’t be seen but not sure of colour icing. Maybe a ribbon around the sides of the top cake too. Any ideas on this at all? A pic would be very helpful also!

Thanks so much.

A: Make the top 6″ cake more of a traditional, two-layer cake in whatever flavor you want, and slather it w/ white buttercream icing. Then decorate w/ sugared sweet peas (dip into frothy egg white, then superfine sugar, then let air-dry).

Another color that woudl be pretty on the vanilla cupcakes is a super-pale leaf green.

Q: wedding dinner menu?
I want to do a sit down dinner with servers, i know that can get super expensive, but.. i dont have all that much money. what are some good yet simple and possibly a little on the cheaper side menu ideas. I know we both want fried green beans, those are our favorite food. what can we have to compliment those. we are also going to do a fruit/cheese/veggie table with a chocolate fountain and punch fountain and have 3 cakes, one of which is a surprise he doesn’t know about. my wedding cake is red velvet and his will be probably something lemon. his favorite. we are doing black and white with a little pink (in the flowers, mini calla lillies, pink and white hydrangeas.) i want the food to match the elegant simple wedding. if that makes any sense.

A: You could do a “pasta alredo” type of dish where they toss some shrimp or (even cheaper) grilled chicken into the dish. That way it’s mostly pasta, which is not expensive. You could serve that w/ a side of broccoli spears or green beans, or broccolini, maybe some “matchstick” veggies of carrots, squash, and zucchini. They’d be pretty on the plate and are not expensive veggies like asparagus. Serve rolsl and butter on the table. Wedding cake(s) for dessert along w/ choc. fountain. The fruit/cheese/veggie trays would be good for snackign on after the meal, while dancing or whatever goes on.

To be honest, I know you both love fried green beans, but I dont’ see them as “elegantly simple.” Plus, it is very difficult to serve a sit-down meal to numerous guest w/ fried food coming out hot and tasty. Often it just comes out cold and grasy, and that is just how large-group plate assembly goes. So, I’d suggest skipping them, and just eat plenty on your honeymoon!

Q: What Should I Do? My MIL Is Trying to Sabotage Our Wedding!
My FH and I are getting married in October and his mother is driving both of us insane. He’s spoken to her about her behavior but now I’m worried that my relationship with her is screwed up forever.

First of all, she never liked me. She REALLY doesn’t want my FH to marry me. We all live in a very small town and someone that she goes to church with told her a nasty rumor that was not true about a year before my FH and I began dating. On top of that she disapproves of my modeling career, and the fact that I am not a member of her church. I am not even the same religion as she is, and she does not yet know that because my FH and I decided that it would upset her too much to know. She thinks I’m an amoral temptress who has possessed her son’s mind and is controlling him. She has been treating me badly since I first started dating him, but recently she began to soften towards me, that is, until my FH told his parents that he was going to propose to me. Then she had a breakdown and went back to being mean to me.

First she called me up and lectured me about not calling her first, although my work schedule would not permit me to call her at a suitable time, and then she demanded to know what all I planned for the wedding. She spoke over me, interrupted me, and made it sound like it was a huge imposition on my part to even ask her to show up for the wedding. She then offered to pay for and make the groom’s cake, which she had already designed. I told her that whatever she wanted to make was fine, except that the icing on the cake must not be white. At that point she blew up because she wanted to make a red velvet cake with white cream cheese icing. I asked her to put food coloring in the icing, and apparently that is absolutely impossible for her to do, even though I have personally put food coloring in cream cheese icing. Maybe she thinks I don’t know how to cook? So my FH ended up telling her that he wants a yellow cake with chocolate icing just to shut her up. Even though everyone knows that he hates chocolate. I plan to make him some red velvet cupcakes with green cream cheese icing so that he can have red velvet cake. Poor thing.

I asked her two daughters to be my bridesmaids. I love them like sisters already so I want them in my wedding for sure. My MIL said she would pay for the bridesmaid’s dresses back when we thought that we were getting married in a chapel, but then the company my father works for offered to host our wedding and reception, and since my FH and I wanted to save money we changed the location. Then she said that she refused to pay a dime for the bridesmaids dresses because we’re not getting married in her church. My FH and I both decided that we are NOT getting married in her church. My FH secretly hates the place as much as I do, but she thinks that he wants to get married there and I’m keeping him from doing it out of spite. She called up my mother (the two of them were friends years and years ago) and complained about me and lied to her about me and some of the things I’ve said and done. My mom of course knew not to believe her. Thank goodness. So my FH said that he (we) would pay for the bridesmaid’s dresses and accessories himself. So at this point, the only thing that she is paying for is the groom’s cake and the gas to drive to the wedding. That’s it. If I had my way I would pay for those two things too, because I honestly can’t trust her. For all I know she’ll show up with a pink and purple polka-dotted cake.

She’s also tried to organize a shower at the church of satan (jk) and invited a bunch of people I don’t like, and a bunch of people I don’t know. She also complained about how some of these people are not invited to the wedding, and she said that anyone invited to the shower should be invited to the wedding, but space is limited. I only wanted people invited to the wedding to be at the shower also, but she took it upon herself to invite people I don’t know to the shower, and I know she will invite them (informally) to the wedding. So I had to ask my uncles to be “door guards” and now we’re telling everyone that they must have an invitation in order to get into the building. God help me if she prints and mails her own invites. I wouldn’t put it past her.

My FH ended up talking to her and at my request told her to cancel the shower, and not to worry about the bridesmaid’s dresses, that we are paying for them. He is also paying for the attire of his father, who is also going to be his best man. All of the traditional responsibilities of the family of the groom are completely gone. I expected that, but if we are paying for everything then they need to be grateful that we’re inviting them in the first place. A few days ago I almost said, “screw this, we’re eloping” but I knew my family wouldn’t like that… so I decided to go through with it. If we elope then she wins, and I am NOT about to let that happen.

She also called my mom to tell her that she doesn’t believe its God’s will that my FH marry me. She believes that I will cheat on him. She told my mother that. What? I have no history of doing such things in past relationships, and besides that it isn’t any of her business whether or not I turn tricks to pay for a crack habit as long as her son is happy. And he is. Until she starts in on me. Luckily he sticks up for me completely.

She also lied to my mom about how many times she had called me. There was some beef about whether or not I was ignoring her calls and stuff. I wasn’t. She claimed to have called my 4 or 5 times and left more than one voicemail. She called me twice, I answered once. The second time she called I had no service and left one (very long and very rude) voicemail, claiming that she was quite busy but needed to have a “heart-to-heart” with me. We never had a heart-to-heart (which I suspect was really going to be a talk about how she will kill me if I hurt her son and about having the wedding her way) because it was the same night that she lied to my mom about me so I had my FH talk to her and revoke the responsibilities we had trusted her with at first. Which wasn’t a lot, considering how involved other MIL’s have been in the weddings I’ve witnessed.

So after all this, my FH still thinks that his mother and I can be friends. I honestly would love that because I hate tension, and it would make me happy and my life a lot easier, but I think that she and can never understand each other enough to be close. I want to, but she refuses to respect me. If she could be respectful of me and not talk to me like a child or an animal, then I would be happy to talk with her about wedding plans and plans for the future. But she won’t treat me like an adult… so I don’t know what to do now.

I think that she is scared about him making his own decisions. I mean, it does mean that he is grown. And of course she’s known that he’s grown for a long time, but being married and totally different step and I think she’s just realizing that and she’s afraid of the change. I will be his number one priority and I think she’s afraid I’ll hold him back from his dreams or break his heart. I understand why she might be afraid, but that is no excuse for her behavior. If she is afraid then she needs to vocalize that by talking to me or my FH about her fears in an honest way.

Also after the drama with the bad rumor and the modeling I am pretty sure she doesn’t have the greatest opinion of my morals. She doesn’t want my FH dating me, period, and she definitely doesn’t want him marrying me. She doesn’t know anything good about me, and she won’t talk to me about anything so I can’t tell her about my good side. She only knows about the things she thinks are bad, even though my FH tells her good things about me all the time. She just won’t listen.

Now what?

A: Wow!!! Man I really feel for you. I think you should have a meeting with your parents, your FH and his parents, in a restaurant where you would be in a neutral area, and just tell both sets, not just her, the way you two want to have your wedding and the way you want your lives to be. If you are in the open, and with your parents, she cannot pull her bull on you, and can be held responsible if she tries anything after your meeting. It is your wedding, not hers, and by rights, up to your parents as to how things should be, since traditionally it is up to the bride’s family to provide the wedding. Discuss with everyone exactly what you want, exactly who is to be invited, exactly where everything will be held, and exactly what everyone’s role will be in the wedding. Be frank about this, it is your life and you deserve to have what you want. You don’t need to be unkind, but you do need to be firm. Tell both families that anything that concerns the wedding must be cleared by you or your FH before it is gone ahead with~ no exceptions! Also, as hard as it may be to do, while you are at this dinner meeting with her, explain to her that with or without her blessings, you will be marrying your FH, she can like it, or walk away from it, but that is the way it will be. You will have the support of your parents to back you up, so it will be easier with them there. If she sees that you are taking a stand against her foolishness then she will have a harder time trying to make your life miserable. There is no way you can make her like you, but you can make it clear that she no longer has the power to ruin your wedding. Hope everything goes well for you~ congratulations on your up-coming wedding!!
