Would you care if someone had the same Wedding Cake as you?
My good friend is getting married 6 months after me, we are both bridesmaids for each other. So far we have been lucky as we have both gone for very different weddings so have wanted only a couple of the same things but they have worked out on their own. My other bridesmaid has offered to make my cake as a wedding present, is very excited and is getting her Gran to teach her to make icing flowers - I have been very layed back about the design as she has good taste, didn't want to dictate what is a present - after several ideas she came to me with we came to a conclusion. I was then out with the bm also getting married and she mentioned cake, and I remembered she had shown me what she has chosen and showed me a few months ago - a M&S cake very similar design. It is very popular at the moment. I told her that was the design we had come to but cut the conversations short as another friend was with us but my bridesmaid did say we couldn't have the same wedding cake
My first instinct was a disappointed I will have to change mine, but I have delayed telling my cake friend as the more I look at other cakes the more I want that design. I am limited as my friend is learning flowers so it will be based around those, and I cannot find others I really like, and I do not mind having the same cake with different colours. People around me are saying I shouldn't change, but I am not sure if thats just as its a bit of a sensitive subject.
Am I being spoilt and should I just tell my cake friend we have to find another design, or is it ok to want to stick to the same agreed design.
