Cake Help!!! (with Pics)

I like the wonky one cos its different although I don't think your first choice would be too plain.

The wonky one is certainly a talking point - if it were me I would go with that.

I like the wonky/offset one too, but without all the flowers maybe one or 2 flowers on it max, although have just found this which is kinda similar to what I wanted to begin with only mine would be square!!!

I like that one. I love separators used in cakes for some reason hence the reason I had a vase to hold my second tier. I like simplicity in cakes so I say a plainer cake and then let the butterflies do the talking.

If you can;t find what you want then theres no harm in gathering ideas from different cakes and also drawing out how you will like it to be (you don;t have to be an artist!).

Whoever is making your cake should understand your vision, and better yet add ideas to create a cake for YOU to create something unique.

As you would with a florist go along and have a chat with your cake maker... You'll come away with a clearer idea of what you want.

Im lucky in this department, as like you im so indecisive to the point I get upset and stressed about it (not you me) so where the cake is concerned I showed my Mum a few ideas and have left it as a surprise for our wedding day and for once I actually feel excited and comfortable with not having to stress about it, im not saying have it as a surprise just saying there are ways to remove the stress of indecisivness

My daughter's having a wonky cake for her wedding - she wants this one but in black, white and red.

How about these:

Wow, a frenzy of flutterbies.....

I have no Idea how you all got loads of Buterfly cake pics I struggled to find any!! I love loads of the ones you girlies have posted but decided to go with this one

I will have it squared, the Silver bit Gold and the Butterflies gold and Mocha (alternating) and depending on which Cake maker we go with it'll be 4 or 5 tiers.

Wooo hooo, that is my favourite.

Within the clear separator you could put butterflies in their as well! Although that would make it took like you have caged some so maybe scrap that idea. x

lol Lyns my mum suggested the same thing, although the design has Butterflies running over the jar anyway. lol Took a print out of the cake to MIL's and she likes it too!!!! Just need to ring the cake lady to make an appointment now!!

Woooohooo I've reached my 1000th post!! lol

Lxx

Sherrie you always flash such lush stuff! i want your job!!!

I love the wonky ones! but i think that they will be very much an in thing for a few years and then in 10 years we'll all be looking back saying...o my word remember those cakes...they wer awful! I think the'll be like the shoulder pads of the 80's. Im going quite plain with my cake, and im using the "swan" stand.

I am going to use tartan ribbon also and have the flowers in the colour of the tartan!

I love butterflies on cakes! you've chosen a pretty one BW. here's mine for some inspiration - more of the 'cascading' effect maybe? can me made square/wonky/with ribbons etc i am sure!

Ooops sorry forgot to downsize it lol xx

lol

Aliaisp, I think I looked at that cake and wanted something similar, then I completely changed my mind. lol who's making your cake?? i haven't picked anyone yet have arranged to go see someone about the design I want on the 29th, but want to keep my options open. x

Feel free to browse our cakes and copy any that interest you. We do quite a few with butterflies....
