The Wedding Cake Serves as the Culmination of a Wonderful Day

One of the most memorable aspects of your wedding is the wedding cake. It serves as the culmination of a delightful dinner and a wonderful day. In addition, the style, design, color and decoration make a style statement that can embody the theme you have selected for your wedding festivities.

Another sweet treat can be edible wedding favors for your guests. Candied almonds or petit fours show guests how much you appreciate having them join in the celebration of your marital vows. And each guest can take home a sweet memento of your special day.

Let Them Eat Cake!

What is the most memorable aspect of your wedding? Some of your guests will talk about the bridesmaids' gowns. Others will discuss the lovely flowers. Many will exclaim over how beautiful the bride looked.

But the one aspect of the wedding that all your guests - men and women, children, parents and grandparents - will remark on is the wedding cake. Your wedding cake not only serves as the culmination of a delightful dinner - and a wonderful day - but also as a delicious dessert. It makes a style statement as it embodies the theme of your wedding, whether you chose seasonal or sophisticated celebrations of your marital vows.

Edible Favors Add Flair to the Wedding

Check out the following suggestions for edible favors that you can order either from a baker or a local confectionery:

• Candied almonds - a tradition at Italian weddings - represent the bitter and the sweet that come with married life. Go classic by gathering them in white tulle and tying with a ribbon in your wedding colors; or place the almonds in decorative boxes.
• Like the Italian but not the almonds? Give each guest a cannoli or a variety of traditional Italian cookies.
• A petit four iced with your new initial will last only a moment on the lips but leave a lasting impression.
• Give each guest Kisses and Hugs - Hershey's, that is! Gather them in tulle or tissue paper.
• You don't have to be Greek to have a little piece of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Share some baklava with friends and family.
• Help your guests cleanse their palettes between dinner and dessert - offer them mints. Maybe in small tins bearing your name and your groom's.
• Think conversation hearts are fun and romantic? Order some for your wedding marked, "Just Married" and "Kiss the Bride."
• Colorful, personalized lollipops in your wedding colors can display your new monogram.
