As of next week I will have made the dreams of 22 blushing brides and golden grooms come true. I've tied probably 500 ribbons, I've lit probably 1000 candles, and I've watched from the wings as dozens of loved ones stand up and bestow their most heart felt congratulations on these people. There is one thing I have learned: don't buy too much cake. I mean that literally. And figuatively. I haven't kept track of all of these lovely couples, but, you can all assume that from the 11 weddings I have been a part of in the last 352 days that not all of them will survive. Of course no one enters a marriage thinking it will end but in this day and age the statistics don't lie. Please don't misconstrue this post to be me wishing bad things upon these people. This is more a bit of advice...don't buy too much cake. Don't get so excited about the cake and go over board. Don't get in to something that seems really exciting and then before you know it you've made a decision you can't back track on.
Each wedding I throw about 5-7 pounds of wedding cake away. That's A LOT of money going out with the trash. Sure, when you buy it you have the thought in your mind "ohhhh I love wedding cake, I'll take it home and my family will want to eat it." First of all, do not be glutenous. Sure, it's good. (In fact, one of the highlights of my job having wedding cake around all the time) But let's all remember the feeling of eating too many sweets. Our mom's told us when we were young not to eat too many sweets...and I'm saying it again. Second of all, don't just think that everyone around you wants your wedding cake. Nobody wants your leftovers, it's messy and sticky, not to mention awkward to transport, and it gives everyone else a stomach ache too. So don't get all caught up in fondant flowers and a monogram made of out icing...think about your actions before you buy too much cake.
