Honey, this is perfection. Just tell me where to buy it and it’s mine. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Seriously, someone help me out. Does anyone know where I can track down chocolate bars that look exactly like the ones in this photo?

I already checked Target and some local boutique shops—nothing. Zero luck.
I’m heading toward that corner store near the start of Zvonimirov tomorrow—maybe they’ll have them, even though they aren't listed on their website.

The staff at Vincek won't give me a straight answer either... 😠 And honestly, I need those specific bars to make a certain cake.
Help!

Ugh, I have no clue! I think Zakoniti was just browsing some photography blogs and stumbled upon it. 😁 😁 Personally, I'm obsessed with those fingerprint textures in the glaze. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Here is the full link so maybe try reaching out to the artist directly? 😉

I already checked the local Dollar Tree and that little boutique shop downtown—nothing.
I’m heading toward that corner store near Zvonimirova later today or tomorrow, so maybe they have them even if it isn't listed on their site.

The people over at Vincek won't give me a straight answer... 😠 And honestly, I just want to make a cake using those exact bars...
Help!

THAT IS MY DREAM CAKE TOO!!! I am also hunting for those specific bars... IT LOOKS INCREDIBLE!

I was actually thinking about swinging by Vincek today, but clearly what a waste of time... grrrr... if you track them down, let me know (if I find them, I'll tell you!)

I was actually planning on hitting up Vincek today—but clearly, it's a waste of time... ugh. If you track them down, let me know. (And if I find them, I'll give you a heads-up!)

Look, if you're already passing by Vincek, might as well swing in. It doesn't hurt to ask—who knows, maybe you'll run into a more helpful clerk than the usual crowd...

Either way, if I hear anything, I'll reach out—and I expect the same from you.🙏

Man, velvetgull9, that cake topper is seriously gorgeous. I ended up grabbing one for myself too...

I mean, this cake is honestly just too cute for its own good... I’m probably not going to end up using it since I found something a bit more elegant and sophisticated, but there’s just something about this design that really caught my eye... though obviously, it would need some tweaks to work for me. It doesn't quite fit the overall vibe of the wedding we're planning, so I'll pass, but man, it is a cool look...

driftingscout said:Hey, listen, if you happen to be passing by Vincek anyway, why not just swing by? It doesn't hurt to ask, and who knows, maybe you'll run into a cute auntie or something...

Anyway, if I hear anything, I'll let you know—and please do the same for me!🙏

I'm actually heading past Vincek over on Zvonimirov near the Bombonjer shop (or somewhere close), so I’ll try to hit them up today or check out some Hershey's stores. If all else fails (last resort), a buddy told me Walmart might have those Hershey's chocolates in that specific size, though I haven't confirmed that yet 🙂 )

I'll definitely keep you posted. 😉

Hey, goldenhound372, are you planning on having that wedding outdoors or inside? My apologies for throwing such a random question into the middle of all these lovely topics!

The wedding ceremony is outside, but the reception is inside

anyone got any ideas for cake decorations? looking for something strictly natural... and I don't mean flowers. thinking more along the lines of leaves from plants, trees, shrubs, whatever... just please, no ivy.

I’m planning on wrapping my cake in wide satin ribbons around every layer, since it’s going to be a four-tier square design. But I realize that doesn't really help you out, considering it isn't exactly "natural" decoration...🙂

yeah, sure, that sounds lovely too. but i actually need some nice leaves... maybe a bunch of them.

Michael Jones23, I heard about this lady in Washington, D.C. who makes these candied flowers. They look totally gorgeous and they're actually edible too! 😍

flowers and fake stuff too 😲

total disaster

😉

It’s totally legit, for real. It’s such an old-school thing, too—I guess I remember my grandma getting candied violets from one of her buddies for birthday cakes when I was, like, super little.

This lady works with all kinds of flowers, and I actually picked up some pansies as a gift once, which were seriously pretty. 🙂 Basically, you take the flower and dip it in sugar syrup until it's fully coated, but you have to be careful not to lose the shape or color. It's about the flower, not just the syrup! 😁

velvetgull9 said:It’s not even fake, seriously.

okay, but I don't want flowers. my wedding has a strict "no floral arrangements" rule😁 , I just want greenery...

Alright, alright... 😁 😁 Just please, no oleander 😬
