The morning wedding had a delightful brunch reception in their church basement, and they had a cute, whimsical winter holiday theme. The neat thing about this wedding was the fact that the groom is the pastor of the church, and they made it fun by using stuffed animals, and Christmas decorations - all from the dollar store! Guests were encouraged to take all the decorations home with them to decorate their own trees and tables. It was inexpensive and fun!
My cakes were interesting, to say the least. The wedding cake was tiny - that's because the bottom tier FELL ... Who the hell knew cakes still fell in this millenium? Well, mine did - they laughed - I didn't ... But we went with the top tier, which was more than enough. It was a Devil's Food cake with snow white coconut frosting. I made a simple topper from silk magnolias, poinsettias and a crystal cross - again - all from the dollar store!
I made Cranberry/Orange/Carrot Cupcakes with a Gran Marnier Topping; Devil's Food Cupcakes (to match the cake); Red Velvet Mini Bundts with Cherry and Hot Fudge Glaze; and Mini Blueberry Muffins.
I'd been collecting beautiful glass plates from the Goodwill store to build up my stock, and it made a lovely little presentation. I was pleased.

Great stuff... so you had a little fall with the cake? No big deal because it's all a learning experience! And anyway, the rest looked so lovely, cute, and quaint. Congrats on the first wedding.
