I’m on the hunt for some cake toppers—specifically bride and groom figurines—but I’m not looking for anything traditional or stuffy. I want something with a bit of wit and personality. Does anyone know where I might be able to track down some funny ones in the Chicago area? I would be incredibly grateful for any leads.🙂
Look, you don't need that much cake. The venue told me I shouldn't bring more than 55 pounds for a group of 250 people since we aren't doing individual servings—otherwise, it just goes to waste. They know what they're doing. A friend of mine who runs her own bakery in Chicago said the same thing. 10 to 15 ounces is plenty.
Look, I have no idea what a mousse actually is 🙄...but as long as it tastes good, who cares. We'll just stick to a chocolate and vanilla combo, similar to one of those pairings. 😁
Honestly, I don't care about how smooth the texture is... as long as there isn't an overkill of cream. That frosting was actually decent enough for me.
Look, someone is always going to turn their nose up at you 🙄, even if everything is perfect. You can't please everyone. As long as you're happy with it, that’s what matters... nobody else's opinion counts anyway...👍
I don't know. I'm all for those fondant cakes. When I was a maid of honor, we went with one featuring fruit parfait and everyone loved it. I'll probably stick to that same choice for weddings too...😁 It's true that the cake ends up being $167 pricier just because of that icing...but hey, if you're going big, go big...😁
That’s actually why I quit making dry cookies. Everyone gives me different advice on how much time it takes, and honestly, it just started getting on my nerves. I gave up... once this slump passes, things will be fine. It has to pass.
I already know what kind of cake I want. Something classic American with white frosting, three or four tiers, to celebrate my favorite couple from the States...
We’ll probably grab about 20 pounds of dry pastries, then fill up on the cream-filled stuff, ice cream cakes, and whatever else... honestly, I'm pretty stoked 😍
