It is customary for the bride and groom to send each guest home with a wedding favor. But what about sending the bride and groom off with a nice wedding favor?

Look closely and you will see that this is actually a small wedding cake favor just for the bride and groom. It was boxed up for the bride and groom to carry off and enjoy together later. The baker even tied plastic utensils on with a bow! What a great idea!

Parenting.com recently did a fabulous article entitled “31 Awesome Birthday Cake Designs“. The cupcakes in the picture above (with credit to Parenting.com and photographer Kenneth Chen) are quite simple to recreate. They were made with gumdrops, a frosted Mallomar cookie and M&M Minis. Instructions for decorating the cupcake as well as the cupcake recipe are included at their site.

If that doesn’t get some ideas rolling, take a look at this cake…

Wouldn’t that be cute for a Bridal Shower?

There are 31 cakes over at the Parenting.com site. Don’t dismiss them due to the fact that they are primarily meant for a child’s birthday celebration. There are some great DIY cupcake and cake decorating ideas over there that may be used for other occasions too (like unique wedding cakes, mini wedding cakes, or cupcake wedding cakes).

Elegant and Simple Wedding Cakes

What a stunning set up Wilton has created in this pic:

The first thing I thought of was to place the two smaller cakes on cake plates of varying heights to give the arrangement some height. It would require just two plates that you could find at any department store. I am sure Martha would have some stunning choices at Macy’s! The larger cake could just go on a disposable cake round or on a glass platter.

And I love the simple floral arrangement with candles. You could, of course, substitute in a bride and groom topper. Or you could use monograms as seen in this prior post.

And there is a wealth of great ideas for the garland seen above. You could use wired ribbon, flowers, petals or fresh greenery. Or make it seasonal with pine garland, paper hearts, lilacs, etc.
