    my auntie has offered to make our wedding cake for us as a wedding gift. it is very nice but we cant make our mind up. She says she would prefer to do a large number of cup-cakes and one normal cake on the top with a disney cake topper as this would be easier. so i guess we are kind of having the best of both worlds. she has suggested doing a number of different flavoured cup cakes all decorated to our colour scheme and disney theme. but it sounds a lil complicated. i like the idea but i dont know which is best

    we're having the top tier as a normal cake to cut and then cupcakes for the other tiers so you get a mix of both x

    Hello hun . I am making my own cupcake tower for our wedding with a small 6 inch cake on the top ( pix of my cakes on my photos if you want a look ) I'm doing cupcakes because it will cut the cost of our cake down doing it myself, plus I love making them!! I guess it up to you what you like the most, have a look around on the net, there are loads of ideas! if you use google images you can see some that have been done which might give you an idea x x x

    I like the sound of that BridetoBe1990.. like you say your getting the best of both worlds :)

    You auntie suggested the idea of different flavours and designed cupcakes so I wouldn't worry if you think its too complicated huni.

    I like it anyway lol :)

    We are having a main wedding cake then as the favours we are having cup cakes. But i do like the idea of having cupcakes as a wedding cake the only reason we aren't having them is due to the fact my friend is making are wedding cak eand my h2b's mum is making the favour cakes.

    she wants to do vanilla, carrot, fruit (for the oldies lol), sponge and jam and chocolate cup cakes all on different levels lol it should be good. she seems to have her mind set and how she wants to do it. i like the idea but im worried she might get carried away and the cake end up like nothing we have planned

    Ahh I see!
    Be sure that you really like the idea and your not just going along with the idea if you see what I mean.
    Why don't you talk to her and make sure (nicely lol) that its going to be exactly how you planned it.
    It's your day and make sure you have it your way :)

    yeah i know it is my only worry because when i talk to her about it all she says is oh i have an idea and ive got it all planned no details lol. im sure she will do a good job but in the past she has gotten carried away lol. we both have ideas and plenty of time to finalise them i guess xx

    bridetobe she is actually gonna have a massive work load having all them flavours! I'd get a pic of what you want and choose 2 flavours and stick to that or it's gonna look messy and not be what you want x

    I agree...

    Finalise on a idea with yourself and h2b then tell/show her what you want and say this is the one I really have my heart set on lol... maybe really empasise that you want it like that and she may then understand to do it the way you want :)

    That's what I would do anyway :D

    i think that you need to get a pic of the idea and how you would like it to be, then take it to her and show her. alongside saying is this the kind of thing you mean because it's exactly what i had in mind.... then take the discussion from there x
    Good Luck as i know talking to people who think theyre helping is difficult x

    Hurry up July31st I want to be Mrs Hall.
    3 more sleep!!!

    i did it is very wonderful. she says she has it all planned out. she is used to doing big parties and making a large number of cakes plus there she has 3 children who love helping mummy bake lol. the fruit cakes would be made in a few months in advance. i will talk to her and make sure she is definate she can handle it. the sponge and vanilla will be made in one batch as only half will have vanilla flavour added to the mix. i really dont know. i will talk to her tho thanks cupcake xx
