Disposable Wedding Cakes!

Planning a wedding can be somewhat expensive, but don’t let the credit crunch dictate your big day. If you are one of the soon-to-be brides that has booked your big event this year, not to worry, you can now rent a disposable wedding cake.

Your wedding day is a great time to be thrifty without sacrificing elegance. Renting a stunning multi-tiered wedding cake for the fraction of the price of an authentic one also eliminates the risk of accidental wedding cake blunders.

The rental cake is not for eating, rather it is simply on display when the couple feeds each other and then is taken to the kitchen. Guests are handed slices from a regular sheet cake kept out of view. Most of you said that cakes aren't a disposable wedding expense, but do you think this is a good alternative for those looking to spend less on their wedding day?

2009 Cake Trends-Natured Inspired Cakes

Whether it’s marzipan, fondant or real it’s all about nature in 2009. The trend started appealing many in 2008 but is in full swing this upcoming year. Anything funky happening in mother earth’s land is happening in weddings! Also, exotic fruit and organic cake flavors will be huge. Pomegranate, blueberry, lemon along with pistachio…

Mushrooms, moss, bark, twigs, pine cones are huge along with fruits, veggies and unique plant and flower species (cactus, cabbage, etc). You can have your cake baker design something edible or have your florist decorate the cake. This trend is happening all year long!

Royal Cakes...Wow!

When you see wedding cakes like these--literally, tremendous works of art meant to be admired and enjoyed--you have to wonder what the rest of the wedding is like. I was certainly curious about it, so I checked it out. Of course I had my speculations .Were the cakes real? I decided that we're pretty certain that none, or only a small portion of the design is actual cake. Structurally it is nearly impossible to make these designs in cake and we think it is most likely styrofoam. Just the fondant alone would be heavy. I was certainly curious about it, so I checked it out.

Here's the scoop on Kuwaiti weddings!As you'd expect, Kuwaitis adhere strictly to the teachings of Islam, which has specific rules regarding marriage and its related customs. In the case of marriage, the bride and bridegroom will have been approved of, though not necessarily chosen, by both sets of parents. This tells me that most Kuwaitis are permitted to marry for love.

I looked on the internet and found an article about Chef Omar in the Al Watan Daily, where he quotes the cakes start at 600 Kuwaiti dinars (roughly $2000) to 3000 ($10,000) Kuwaiti dinars for a replica of Versailles. Those are decent numbers for sure. Check out the article here. His designs are being talked about around the world!
