Jam Doughnut Tower?

Chris Giles Photography, 2 September, 2012 at 10:51 Posted on Planning 0 29

It's Sunday morning, the future Mrs CGP is asleep and I had an idea for our wedding cake.

A Giant Jam Doughnut tower.

Now, usually I'd shout over and run the risk of getting shot down for suggesting it....what's the Hitched member consensus?

Edit: Actually they do look a bit messy in a group.

    All for this! We're thinking of doing something with Krispy Kremes too. Surely anything involving loads of doughnuts can only be a good idea! ? Mmmm, hungry now...

    I think thats a really good idea! We went to a wedding last year where they had a krispy kreme tower and it looked awesome, think jame doughnuts would work just as well ?

    As a doughnut fan, I would love to go to a wedding and discover the cake is a tower of doughnuts, but I agree with above posters, make sure you have plenty of napkins! YUM YUM, it's making me hungry.

    I love the idea of a doughnut tower but if Mrs CGP to be is as clumsy as me she won't want to run the risk of getting jam on her dress!

    I Luurrrrrve the idea of a jam doughnut wedding cake.

    Maybe putting each one on a napkin/or something looks nice and reduces the mess factor?

    Especially if you made a bride and groom out of doughnuts too like this:

    I love it! You could even have different flavours; jame, custard, chocolate, apple, caramel!

    What did your future wife think to the idea?

    Yep a fab idea - were having the very same for our big day! From www.pippindoughnuts.co.uk (a little shameless plug for a local company!)

    Now I'm hungry and reconsidering my cake plans for the umpteenth time. As the bride, I would want a full on apron to wear because I would NOT want jam on my dress. I am very messy and clumsy and forgetful - sometimes forget I have things in my hand and do wild gestures etc. OH is, very surprisingly to me, very traditional about all this stuff so I doubt I could get away with it.
