"Coco Myles knows that it's both more fun and exciting to wear a beautiful new dress if you can design it.

Eat A Grand Cake!

AH yes the cake. The traditional centerpiece of weddings everywhere. Donald Trump has really good taste down to his cake. A grand five tier confection with handmade petals and gold sugar fondant icing is the only way to go...unless you are a bride on a budget. So how do you get the envy of your friends and fam and still save your wallet a brutal beat down? By faking it! Yes Fake it to Make it!

HERE ARE YOUR CHOICES:

1. Have a bakery fake a cake using frosting covered Styrofoam. then cut sheet cakes in the back.

2. Buy three small gourmet cakes from a bakery put them on tiers and cut a sheet cake in the back.

3. Do a me and have lots of cupcakes. buy some and make some.

4. Get a mini cakes (which can be pricey if done per plate) my way would be to buy a small cake of 8 to 14 slices and put on on each table which will double as a centerpiece.

5. Have no cake and do another dessert like pie, cookies,brownies, cobbler etc.

A Date To Go Down In History! Once again Ann's Bridal Bargains to the rescue! The Classic Frame is the only way to go for invites.
