Glamuptials: Le Gâteau

I can't seem to say it enough, my wedding day was perfect... and so was my beautiful cake. It was literally a show stopper or should I say a conversation starter. All our guests commented on how unique and glamorous it was, and it made me extremely happy to know that people actually paid attention. I wanted something unique, and thanks to all you readers, I finally had the perfect balance of brown, ivory and design.

For my cake topper, I used a vintage crystal glass that my step-mother had and used the remainder of the arcylic crystals that I used for my escort cards. I put a tealight candle in the glass so that way at night our cake would have its own mini chandelier.

The pattern on the cake wasn't exactly the one from my invitation. It was extremely hard to do (though I attempted to cut out the pattern on a clear acetate) Luckily my baker had a pattern sort of like what I wanted. In the end, the result was awesome... and its not like my guest remembered the pattern on my invites. ;)


We had a chocolate Ferrero Rocher crisp dessert included with our meal so we served the cake later on with the sweet table. Since I figured not everyone would eat cake at night, I decided to make cake flags to go with our oh-so yummy dessert. It basically had our names our it with our wedding date and the clock element found on our RSVP cards. Matchy Matchy ;)

Sorry for the blurry picture, this is the only proof that my cake flags existed.

For the portions, I decided to make a cake for only 70 people (though I have over 150 guests) and I have to say it was too much because we had tonnes left over. I had more than half the cake untouched... but I even forgot the leftover cake at the hotel. Oh well... ;)
