Cake toppers for inter-racial weddings (Read Full Article)
I'm looking for inter-racial figurines. I am African-American and my husband is not. He is also in the United States Marine Corps. I'm looking for a place that can make the figurine cake-topper to our specifications without costing us a mint.
Traditional Cakes
For many years the Groom’s cake has served as a type of favor for the guests. It was usually a dark fruitcake which was baked in advance, cut up into small squares, and put into little monogrammed boxes. The boxes were given to the guests to take home. The time, labor and cost in doing this ultimately led to the virtual end to this tradition.
Many couples make a tradition out of freezing their wedding cake for a year and eating it on their one-year anniversary. It is considered good luck and an omen for long life together to preserve the top tier of your wedding cake to eat on your first anniversary.
You've spent several hundred dollars for a beautiful and elaborate wedding cake perhaps a replica of one that you saw in a magazine. Everyone remarks on how pretty it is, and you are delighted. Then, a half hour into the reception, just as you are beginning to relax and enjoy yourselves, your coordinator tells you that the cake is starting to collapse and you need to cut it now while there is still time to salvage it and to get those special pictures. You rush to the cake table, place a forced smile on your face and quickly cut the cake.
WHEN TO BOOK
Be sure to put down a deposit to reserve the date well in advance. At Patty-Cakes, we do book up quickly and if you wait too long, you could be disappointed. If time allows, call 6 months to 1 year in advance, it is never too early to check your date.
