Q: Cake Question??? HELP!!!?
My wedding is less than 3 months away (August 8th), and I was just informed today by my mother that the bakery we’re getting our cake through does not have a three tiered, silver plated cake stand that will hold cupcakes on the bottom two tiers and a small round cake on the top. I have looked all over the internet and I can find three tiered cupcake trays but they have the foundation or “pillar” holding the tiers above each other going right through the top making it impossible to use a small round on the top. The only other silver plated cake things I’ve been able to find thus far is a silver plated footed base which are nice but no dice without more tiers.

Does anyone know where I could find one, preferably to rent but will buy if I have to, in Des Moines, IA or online? I would even use a footed silver plated base and a three tiered glass one if someone could show me what I needed and how to put it together.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thank you in advance!!!
My cake will look a lot like these do. I want the stand to do the same thing…

You could add glass plates.

*edit
Wow look at what this bride did with plates and wine glasses!
You could use silver chargers, platters or plates. I love it!

Q: Making Cup Cakes for Wedding -Container?
My friend is making our Wedding Cake out of cup cakes. We have purchased a 7 tier mirror stand from Ebay that will fit approx 150 cake on nicely.

What we need to knwo is if anyone has any tips on how to store as many as 150 cup cakes? does anyone know where we can get good containers? and could we sit them on top of each other? (is there such a thing as a cup cake storage box?) Any tips? anyone??

Thanks in advance!!
PS we are having them blue white and silver!

A: There are some storage containers made for transporting cupcakes. Wilton makes the Ultimate 3-in-1 Cake Caddy (link in Sources) that can transport a 9 x 13 cake, 12 regular sized cupcakes, or 24 mini cupcakes. (A tray insert has raised rings to hold the cupcakes in place; one side holds the regular sized cupcakes, the flip side holds the minis.) I’ve seen other carriers that do this, too, but they typically only hold 12 cupcakes, which isn’t going to work for you with the number of cupcakes you are going to move.

Decorating the cupcakes on site would work best, because then you can stack the unfrosted cupcakes on top of each other or even in bags to transport them, but if this is not an option, just use some individual plastic drinking cups (about an 8 oz. size should work) and place a cupcake in each. (Make sure the cupcake rests at the top so it doesn’t sink into the cup and would be hard to remove.) Depending on how you pack these cups inside another container (such as a cardboard box, or a plastic storage container like the underbed variety), you may want to put something inside each cup before you put in the cupcake to serve as a weight, so the cups don’t tip over in transit.

This assumes you are covering the cupcakes with frosting. If you cover the cupcakes with fondant, you should be able to just put them side by side in a box or plastic container.

Whatever you do, be sure to take supplies to do any necessary touch ups when you get to the venue, in case any decorations get squished!

Happy Baking!

Q: Having wedding at park?
were thinking about having our wedding at the local park if not my parents back yard. Its a small wedding with just our close friends and family. we are on a tight budget. Colors are Royal blue and white/silver. My dress is royal blue and white, he will be wearing white dress shirt and tan pants. cake is a cup cake stand. Q: Does this sound good for a small wedding, we just want something small and simple. Also what would be good ideas for food and drink. Thank you
Also anyone who had or been to a park/yard wedding please tell your experience. like what kind ceremony, was there music, etc

A: I would do it in your parents’ back yard because it’ll be more private…no kids screaming, random strangers watching, etc…it sounds very pretty. It sounds like a simple, nice wedding and I would do some sort of punch or even champagne to drink. You could just have cake and punch or a picnic-style lunch… I have been to two backyard weddings and they were very nice and simple. If you do it in the evening, decorate with white Christmas lights strung up in the trees! Pretty! You can just serve small sandwiches and finger foods like deviled eggs, stuffed pickles, crackers and dip, etc. Congratulations!

Q: Early afternoon wedding without dancing?
I found a ‘venue’ close to home that charges $4k for a chapel, minister, DJ for ceremony and reception music, and cake for 50-100 guests. They include the regular: tables, linens, chairs, candelabras, unity candle stand, skirted tables for gifts, etc, cutters and slicing service, silver service, golblets for toasting, and 1 hour picture time, 2 hour event time. I was thinking of adding an hour of time for a light lunch (cheese and sandwiches, etc) which costs about $2k more. The house is beautiful, I’ve attended a wedding there myself. I know it sounds like a lot but the only other option was to go ahead with an evening wedding at the least expensive place I could find for nearly $8k and go without any drinks for company.

The question is really would this be acceptable? For roughly 70 guests to attend a brief chapel wedding, and lunch with perhaps a toast. I do not know if there will be dancing… I’m not really anticipating the DJ to be more than background music as we greet guests and then exit after eating and cutting the cake. Good plan? Or should we dance? (We’re not the best dancers LOL)
Really it would be saving us maybe a grand on the venue, but we could skip a lot of the evening affairs by doing this instead. OR I could have 30 guests and spend around $2400 for a ceremony and cake with a toast. I seriously cannot find a venue here in Houston that costs less than $8k… our budget is $11k on our own and we want to take a honeymoon that costs $3k (did I say that already??)
Yeah I’m not sure what to do. Just to rent a nice chapel around here is $2,500… really retarded if you ask me.

A: My sister had an afternoon wedding and no one but the little kids danced. They had the traditional first dance and father/ daughter/ mother/ son dances, but beyond that, no one really danced. It depends on the people attending the wedding. An older crowd won’t really get down, but if you’re inviting a lot of your friends, then they might.

Just let your dj know what type of atmosphere you want. My sister’s dj played a bunch of dance music because she told him to play ‘whatever’.

Make a list of the things that you really want at your wedding and focus on those things. Like if flowers aren’t that important to you, then there’s no use in going broke just to have them. Personally I’m just going to hook up an ipod or cd player myself and have a friend in charge of music.

Q: Warning! Very long, but I need to know where I stand in all this? Am I behind, ahead, what do you think?
My wedding is in February of next year and this is what I have done.

-Got all the vendors selected, except for the musician, which will be used through the church once we meet with the pastor next month.

-I bought all the accessories for my dress, including garter. I got the guest pen, (and extra pen for the guest book if the other one goes out), all the centerpieces for all the tables including decorations and lights for the head table.

-I got the flower girl petals and basket, and ring bearer pillow.

-BM’s selected their dresses and they are ordered. I already have my dress (in my parent’s closet so Fiance can’t sneak and look at it at our home.)

-I got the cake cutting set, bubbles, engraved flutes, pew clips, white pew bows (that I don’t like so I ordered purple ones online and I’m expecting them in the mail.)

-I got the usher gifts, the BM gifts, and the parent’s gifts. They are almost all wrapped, but I’m still trying to find small purple bows (our colors are violet and silver.)

-We already selected the style of cake and bought all the cake decorations and finalized with the baker.

-I got the favor boxes all picked and bought, I just gotta buy the hersheys kisses and have them done by me and the BM’s (closer to the wedding date for freshness)

-We already got our engagement photos done.

-We did our tasting for the reception and selected our meal choice and signed the catering contract.

-I got the aisle runner and I’m ordering white small umbrellas online for each person in the bridal party in case of rain/snow.

-We looked at invitations at the place we know we are going to get them, and I kind of have an idea of what I want, we whittle the choices down to 10 designs we will browse through later.

WHAT I DON’T HAVE DONE:

-I got a head start on my emergency bridal kit, but I still need to buy more stuff.

-I still don’t know the time of the ceremony/reception since I still have to meet with the pastor next month.

-I don’t know what songs I want for the DJ…or what songs I want at the ceremony.

-I want outdoor photos in the snow, but I haven’t sent photos to the photographer yet that I want.

-I am not clear on where we want the Rehearsal Dinner, or what we are going to get. I have some ideas though

-We still haven’t got tuxes, or the flower girl/ring bearer stuff, bc my fiance is dragging his feet not wanting to call his older bro to ask him to have the niece and nephew as flowergirl/ringbearer bc he doesn’t know what to say, they haven’t talked much in years and he lives super far away so it’s awkward for him, they get along but they are kinda like strangers in a way.

-I still don’t have all the addresses/phone numbers for the guest list…waiting on fiance’s mom to get all that stuff together. She said she would get it done a week ago but I realize it’s 40 people she’s gotta look up so I will be nice and give her time.

-I don’t have a spa picked out yet for my hair/makeup/nails.

-I don’t know when or how the ushers will roll out the aisle runner.

-I still need to show the florist all my decorations, tuxes, flowergirl/ringbearer outfits so she knows what to do to match the flowers…this for sure has to be done by October.

-I haven’t done any weightloss/tanning stuff yet.

-Haven’t paid off all the vendors yet, but we are making payments.

-I also still need to buy stuff to set up the icicle lights at the head table.

-Still don’t know what to do for an outline of the reception, as in, how to do the order of things, I’m thinking meal, then dance, then cake cutting. IDK?

OKAY! SO what do you think? Am I behind, ahead, what do you think? I have 10 more months until the wedding. Thanks!
HAHA messykat I forgot about that!!

A: You are way ahead of schedule. That is good thing to be because there is usually something that go wrong. Example is my wife got sick a couple days before and I was left with everything to do. It was nerves that got her and me.

Transportation should be add. The bridal party has to get on place to another.

I say the shorter the better between the ceremony and reception. If it is more traditional, ceremony at 2 and dinner at 6. This cuts down the amount people that are going to drunk by the time music starts.

Q: is this a good price.. all fake flowers for my wedding ?
Sub Total – $425.00
Tax – $27.63
Total – $452.63

A: Thats an awesome price, especially including all the labor going into it. Make sure you like the silk flowers your florist is using before the wedding. I’ve seen brides be horrified at the unrealistic look of their silk flower bouquets. Your wedding sounds beautiful and classy (I love the pool blue touches.) Good luck to you!

I would think that maybe if you could find a nice metallic pink tablecloth you can put that on the cake table, then sprinkle some silver snowflakes/fake snow and votive candles next to the cake…
