It's good to know I have so many other options than poisoning my guests to get peonies on the cake. ;)<BR/><BR/>emily- that candlestick idea sounds pretty similar to the vase idea Jennifer had over at earth friendly weddings the other day. I'm definitely tempted to try those ideas out. I think candlesticks and milk-glass vases could look really chic.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12633056996927758780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2855305520683501636.post-33479832645879266702008-10-08T08:04:00.000-07:002008-10-08T08:04:00.000-07:00Hi there, I just found your blog through Etsy wedd...Hi there, I just found your blog through Etsy weddings. I am also doing the table with several cakes on cake stands instead of one big cake. Why have one when you can have several? I am indecisive just like you:)<BR/><BR/>Here is another idea that I am doing that seems like it might be right up your alley...<BR/><BR/>In addition to finding vintage cake stands, you can actually MAKE really fabulous vintage "cake stands" using old china plates and candlesticks. I went to antique shows and picked out really great cut crystal, milk glass, vintage china, etc.<BR/><BR/>You take the plate, run a ring of hot glue around the bottom, and glue to the top of an old candlestick. Voila! Totally original and awesome.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy!Emily Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260182782784741554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2855305520683501636.post-71235058304085902412008-10-08T03:24:00.000-07:002008-10-08T03:24:00.000-07:00I am a vintage-modern cake designer and blogger fr...I am a vintage-modern cake designer and blogger from the UK. A good cake maker should be able to make you peonies out of what we call flowerpaste here but I think in the US it's sugarpaste.

It drives my fiance (and me sometimes too) CRAZY!!<BR/><BR/>But you know, it's so hard to pick out and make decisions on so many different things that will all be working together! Not to mention that many of them you don't actually get to see the final product until after it's all said and done with, paid for... you get my point. So it's hard to imagine some of this stuff! At least that's what I have to explain to my fiancee. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I like the second cake idea - very unusual (in a good way) and rustic/shabby chic!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209533406055486161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2855305520683501636.post-67222318879569132092008-10-02T16:19:00.000-07:002008-10-02T16:19:00.000-07:00Don't worry about changing your mind, but it m...Don't worry about changing your mind, but it might help to not cement a decision, IE, tell folks, unless you're 100% sure it's the one.
