THE INVITATION THAT TAKES THE CAKE

If you are obsessed with your invitation design, why not carry the design throughout your wedding... and onto your cake! There are several ways that you can do this (or at least come close). Meet with your cake designer to tell them about your idea and bring a sample of your invitation along. The two options are hand painting the pattern on the fondant or working with a ribbon company such as http://www.printmyribbon.com/ or MJ Trim http://www.mjtrim.com/ribbon/default.aspx to custom print a pattern or design. You want to make sure that you do a test on the ribbon before printing, just to make sure it looks elegant and not flashy. Then work with your cake decorator to incorporate the ribbon and your invitation design into the cake. Guests will be impressed with your consistent wedding style.
