It would be perfect in the colors/flowers that you want & I think the script monogram would be so pretty.<BR/><BR/>So many good choices! Buttercream is the way to go, in my opinion. We had 4 layers & did different flavors per layer so guests could choose their fave/deal with allergies,etc. Best of luck!Susan D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14657491451870407508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112948848251367407.post-45324077340426664632007-02-28T16:36:00.000-05:002007-02-28T16:36:00.000-05:00Whew, I love your inspiration cakes.

I think that #11 (the one you said is too heavy) would be a good example of how you could have alternating flowers and ribbon - take out a few of those bunches, throw on your pink ribbin with monogram and I think that would be balanced but have everything you want. Good Luck!Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10446097973587609843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112948848251367407.post-90207171628643161442007-02-28T14:47:00.000-05:002007-02-28T14:47:00.000-05:00I like all your ideas.

Your main inspiration is adorable! And if you wanted something simpler, you could always do something like #9, but have hydrangeas on the top instead of the topper. We didn't use a topper, just had flowers instead, and I was so happy with the way it turned out.TCPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08212662019703745785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112948848251367407.post-88845540699680317592007-02-28T14:09:00.000-05:002007-02-28T14:09:00.000-05:00Oh I'm all about this post!!

I must have drawn out 100 different cake designs. Mine was pink and with a monogram too! You can definitely have all those things you want - take it from someone who put a lot of effort into getting everything I wanted on the cake without it looking tacky! And it really did turn out great - we got tons of compliments. But I think you are on the right track with that one you said is your main inspiration - you could definitely do a script monogram on that one and change the color to pink and it sounds like that would pretty much give you what you want! I had a table runner for the cake table monogrammed and took it to my baker to have them try to copy the exact monogram style to match the runner.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06565533233531393884noreply@blogger.com
