I heard fondant has gelatin in it and I''m a vegetarian, so I''m trying to come up with some good non-fondant cake ideas....we might go with a fun cupcake cake, but I really want to do something like this. So pretty!

You may not be too into cakes but you sure have good taste when it comes to picking a pretty one!

Lulu, that''s one of my cakes! I''m trying to decide between two. I love the hydrangea detail and the clean lines. It looks to be fondant but mine (whichever I choose) will be buttercream.

This is the other one I'm considering:

Though I might do it in an "ivory" color to match my dress (that I don't even have yet!

)

ETA: If the two cakes are the same price, I'll probably go with the hydrangea cake. It's so gorgeous and simple (with a little fun added). I'm pretty picky about wedding cakes...I think most of them look so tacky!

I am STARVING now, thanks everyone! Anyone ever try the "cakes" that are just like filled pastry puffs arranged in a tower and with spun sugar or honey drizzled over it?

No, but it sounds delicious! That''d be a great idea for your cake since you''re having a brunch reception. Or perhaps...a krispy creme cake?

Emily, that''s so funny you''d say that.. I wanted to do the Krispy Kreme handout favors, right? I think like, everyone gets two? I LOVE the ones with the sprinkles, because it''s so hard to find a raised donut with sprinkles! Anyway, I ramble. So I was telling my aunt that I was thinking about that as a favor, and she (being a bossy britches) said I have to give out things that other people would like, not just me!!

I was like, well, other people like donuts.. Bossy.

All of these cakes are stunning!! Nice choices!
I don''t know if any of you have experienced this, but when my hubby and I were looking at cakes and having tastings (best part imo!), we found we loved the look of fondant icing but HATED the way it tasted - like sweet play dough!!! Maybe the hotel''s bakery wasn''t making it right but we disliked it so much that we bagged the cakes all together and went with key lime pie instead!! We WERE in Key West afterall!! I was a little sad because we didn''t have a gorgeous cake to cut, but any alternative icings would have probably melted in the heat. Ah well... the pie was delicious and people are still talking about it 2 years later so I guess it worked out! :)

I have yet to eat a cake with fondant that didn''t taste like that. Even all the bakery shops in my area admit it tastes like poop, but looks pretty on a cake.

Caribou, your topper is sooo cute. If you don''t mind me asking...... where did you find it? It seems like all the wedding stuff websites i''ve seen only seem to have the usual generic cheesy toppers, I don''t know how you PSers find these things, but I love it! I always get the greatest ideas here.

Honeybee, I ordered it from www.bridalpeople.com I found looking for flipflops to wear on my wedding day (I acutally searched on google ''wedding flip flops''). They have a lot of caketoppers to choose from as well as other things you can pick.

Reading all these, I had a brainstorm about our wedding cake. I''m not sure what style of cake it will be, either a one or two layer cake, or individual cupcakes. However, I was trying to think of ways to fit it in with our ocean/sailing theme without using seashells. I like seashells and all, and have seen some amazing cakes with them, but I was trying for something different. Anyway, my fiance is really into tying knots (not as kinky as it sounds!) and belongs to the International Knot-tyer''s Guild, if you can believe it. Anyway, he ties some amazing decorative knots, including round flat ones and long braided ones. I want to try and incorporate some of those designs into the cake. I bet they could be made of fondant pretty easily. Here are some examples:
