I really hope I can stick to it!!!!!! Great work Sabina, that is awesome. What kinda dance classes are you taking? I went to the gym last night and did total body and cardio. This morning I went for a jog and skipped rope for a few minutes. Tonight I will get on my elliptical for sure.

Hey all, I have not worked out since Thursday, but I am heading to the gym in a few minutes to do weights (whole body) and cardio. I need to kick it into gear, I don't have much time left. lol

When my hair is curly I get Drew Barrymore, I get that I am cute a lot from people, but never Julianne Moore, she is hot not cute. lol

This might sound like an odd thing to say, but have you checked payless? I was there today getting shoes for my niece and I saw lots of flats and wedges that would be good for wedding shoes and they are all very good prices and, its by one get one half price right now, so you could get 2 pairs, just a thought.

Jess, I wish you and your husband all the best, and the perfect wedding and week away. Go, relax and have a great time. But, as soon as you get home get your butt back here so we can all hear about it.

My only concern is that the set will be too blingy (vs. a plain band or something like that). Martin doesn't think it does tho, and he's pretty honest about that kind of stuff. He says it looks "classy and elegant" but I just wanna make sure and get a few opinions before we commit. I guess it's kinda hard to tell over the comp because they are both so much more sparkly in person. Than I say go for it. I do not think it will take away from your ering, it will look great and sparkly together. So, get it. lol Or, wait a while and seeif something better comes along, you have a long time. lol

I think its really nice, not too blingy at all. I think its perfect. I would go with the small one though, but that is just me. Most girls will say go big, but I am not one of them. lol I can't believe you picked out your band already, we just got ours yesterday. lol

Just don't eat anything sweet, lol only 4 months to go.

Welcome!!! What resort in Punta Cana are you getting married at?

I said yes, but I am still not sure. I have to figure out how much it will cost first, but if I can afford it, I will do it. I just have to convince my FH, he hates getting pics taken, so doing it twice might not be doable.

Those are great, I also wish I saw those. lol Maybe I can use that idea for invitations, since we don't need the traditional reply card or anything like that.

I don't only make floral cakes, those just happen to be the ones I posted. lol the last one is not that good a picture, it is actually a nice yellow colour cake.

Sarah I posted some in another thread. lol 15 hours is an easy 1 tier cake. It takes longer to make wedding cakes. Let me see if I can post a few of my cakes here. This is an Easter Cake I made And this is my garden party cake Um, the mother's day cake I made for my mom That is probably enough for now. lol

Quote: Originally Posted by BEACHBRIDEMA Wow those are all amazing cakes, that would be so cool to know how to make those Sarah I love doing it. Its a lot of work, but I enjoy it. Every cake I do takes at least 15 hours to make, from baking to making icing, to decorating it. I do it all from scratch. lol

Quote: Originally Posted by jilly76 Julie those are perfect!! I guess the pink could be described as fuschia, but the ones you picked were perfect. I'm also using white & some green (kind of like a seafoam green color) You could always use this cake, if you like it, and make the bottom layer white icing, to get rid of the orange, and make the white flowers have pink or green centres, that would look good and fit your theme. You could also get rid of the butterflies, or also make them only pink and green.

Something like this is really nice as well, adding in fuschia flowers with green leaves or something. It all depends on how detailed you want it to be, or how much you want it to stand out. I love bold cakes, but that is me.

Jilly, without knowing anything else (aside from bright pink), these are what I thought of.

Quote: Originally Posted by jilly76 Julie you have such good cake ideas!! Do you have anything that uses a bright, deep, pink color? Can you describe the deep pink a little more to me or do you have a sample of it? Also, what other colours are you using?

If you want, I can email you the larger pics, it just will not let me host them here cause they are too big.

I actually make cakes. Just for fun right now, but hopefully for a living on day, so I have lots of ideas. What about doing this, to incorporate cupcakes and cake, but with pink and brown and your flowers. Here are some more ideas as well. and this one in a darker brown.

I am not sure what sort of themes or anything you have in mind, but this is one of my fav pink and brown cakes. If you have anything specific in mind, let me know and maybe I can help you out. Also, this is my fav cake ever and I am going to attempt to make my version of it, but adding a pink ribbon on the bottom of the tiers, or making the flower pink would also be really really nice.
