Seriously. I’m leaning toward just icing flowers. Or maybe a small bouquet of real flowers. But when I try to picture it in my head it looks weird. Anybody have any good suggestions?[ March 29, 2005, 08:52 PM: Message edited by: dkw ]

Ruth and I didn't like any of the cake toppers we saw, so we did real flowers, and I think it looked really nice. I'll post a picture a little later.

I would not be a good one to ask since my husband & I had Coneheads on top of ours!

You're going to use a light bulb as a topper? I realize it's your wedding, and I don't want to be critical, but I don't think that's the best idea.

I always thought marzipan fruit would be cool.

I like this one. (The same place has this one, but I think it's tacky.) You could make one out of Lego , seashells , lace and a bit of glass , or clay , or just go with a simple monogram This one is kinda cool. (More choices from the same site.)like this (only maybe a bit less pink)?These are probably not what you had in mind (although I think they're unbearably adorable).

I called Legoland. Asked, did they have the "Community Workers" pack in stock. Yes they did. I'll send someone right down.

I love flowers the best. That is what my mom picked for our cake, and it was beautiful.

Here's a nice selection and barring (excuse the pun please) the setting there is some appropriate quality to using poseable figures.

We had icing flowers, and it was perfectly lovely. What's wrong with them?

Our friends' nick names are "Gumby" and "Tinkerbell", so they had figurines of those characters on their cakes.

Dinosaurs! Great idea. The Explore store in Ames surely will have dinosaurs, yes?

Maybe we should both be stegasauruses. How do we feel about dinosauric mixed-marriages?

I'm quietly watching from my chair. Chasing my tail. Those of you who have been around dkw when she's in a creative mood will recognize the only safe tactic is to quietly facilitate and let the decision emerge in all its perfection.

Sending relatives on wild-goose chases, on the other hand, is tactics.

*whew* Thank goodness you've seen that episode, or else that posting would have been very inappropriate in a wedding thread.

Poor Mom. She’s spent hours making royal icing flowers, and now we’re staging a dinosaur battle on her beautiful cake.

No, I've spent hours printing bulletins. But I'm finally on the last chunk - the ones that need to be cut.

Okay, here we go. Apparently we don't have any good pictures of the cake itself with the flowers on top, so this is as good as it gets.[ March 29, 2005, 11:36 PM: Message edited by: Jon Boy ]
