I think this is the cake

[CoralQuiz]

I adore it.

But I will change the words.

 

[Upgradable]

Beautiful!!! What will the cake itself be?

 

[CoralQuiz]

Fruitcake all the way! Some guests won''t like fruitcake but there will be other desserts, and whatever is not eaten will last a very long time

I am really trying to include FI''s personality in the little details of the day, so I will use lyrics from one of his favourite songs on the cake!

 

[mrscushion]

That''s really nice, words or no words. I''m a sucker for simple white cakes with a little bit of flower deco.

 

[Dannielle]

Thats lovely

What will you change the words to or are you not having words at all?

 

[CoralQuiz]

I was thinking of lyrics from Everlong..

1st tier : And I wonder
2nd tier : If everything could ever feel this real forever
3rd tier : If anything could ever be this good again

Everlong''s been ''our song'' since even before we were a couple so I want to include it in a meaningful way, but it''s a bit too rock-y to walk down the aisle to.

that is really pretty coral!!

in regards to "Everlong" I love that song myself and there is a beautiful acoustic version (which I prefer now that I have found it) that you could use somewhere in your reception, perhaps first dance??

Hurray! I love traditional fruitcake wedding cakes - I think I was warped by the first wedding I attended (as a flower girl). Will you do the marzipan and royal icing too?

 

[ckrickett]

gorgeous!...and yummy

 

[ilovesparkles]

FI and I are sitting here perusing the photos this morning, we LOVE that cake and the idea of the writing on it! Gorgeous!

Pan Manda, if you have tracked down a good quality acoustic Everlong recorded in a studio by Dave Grohl.. then I might just have to marry *you*! Can you please tell me where you found it? Thanks girl!

Narwhal!!!! I just listened to that YouTube link... It''s perfect. I''m so playing this when I walk down the aisle to my gorgeous man.

Where can I buy/download it??? not from iTunes it seems

 

[KatyWI]

You can totally get it from iTunes! There''s an acoustic album, although the name escapes me at the moment... it was released a couple years ago. Everlong is definitely on that album.

 

[CoralQuiz]

I have the acoustic mp3! Yay

I had planned to use Lullaby by The Dixie Chicks but I think Everlong wins.

Love the look of this cake - I don''t like fruitcake but I love marzipan

When I mentioned marzipan to my SO & MIL they looked at me as if I were crazy and said they''d never heard of it. Do get marzipan in California ?

 

[tlh]

YUM!

 

[pan_manda]

I''m so sorry I missed your post yesterday! I am so glad the other ladies stepped up and you were able to find it!!!

 

[honey22]

Gorgeous cake! So elegant and classy, and I adore the flowers on top!! I know what they are called, but my mind escapes me at the moment

Looks great!
