Cake & Flowers
Cake
First things first...I hate fondant. With a passion. Seriously, how do people eat that stuff? It's like sugar-y rubber tires. But apparently, people seem to think it's the end-all-be-all when it comes to wedding cakes. YUCK!
I want a simple, 3-tier cake, covered in (probably light green) frosting, with no rhyme or reason to the design. Just stack the cakes, frost them, add a monogram to the top, and some flowers on each layer.

I LOVE this stand!
Voila, edible wedding cake! The flowers on the cake would, of course, match the wedding colors.
Flavors? I like lemon myself, with a layer of blueberries and strawberries in the middle. I'm also thinking red velvet and maybe white of chocolate.
In my quest to keep things simple...I've come up with this crazy idea to make my own cake. How crazy am I? Because really, I can cook my butt off, but please don't ask me to bake anything from scratch. But that's where my good friend Betty Crocker comes in.
GASP! Wedding cake from a box? Yep! Because really...how many times have you been fooled by really good cake that wasn't from scratch? Probably more times than you know. Plus, I've learned a thing or two about making packaged baked goods better.

Flowers
Another DIY. Real flowers will surely keep me in a sneezing fit all day long, so I'm looking to find some really nice fake ones. I'd love to carry an orange bouquet to match my shoes. We'll see what Micheal's and Joanns have in stock.
