We didn't plan for a wedding cake, because our venue was already offering a full platter of french desserts for our guests. For the record, initially I had wanted a macaron croquembouche (a la Laduree), but the high costs and "not everyone likes macarons" factor caused us to nix it.
Four of my gal pals, including my 2 bridesmaids, ordered a custom 'suitcase' cake for us as a surprise, and we were thoroughly tickled. Our wedding had a travel theme, we met while traveling in Tibet, and this cake could not be more apt -- it featured many of the places we've traveled to before.
The 'stickers' say: Tibet, Gobi Desert, South America, California, Singapore.
Interesting Snippet: Our Polish friends, whom we met while in Mongolia, flew all the way from Austria to attend our wedding. I nudged off the 'Gobi Desert' piece, and they delicately wrapped it up in napkins and brought it all the way home! Their flight was 4 hours after our wedding ended that night :)
Me, in my 'Kill Bill' awesomeness, going for the cake. Total glamor, I know...
