Let Them Eat Cake

The Cake.

If there is one thing Mr. Ostrich and I have in common, it's our love of no-tier, un-fancy cakes. And the sheer delight of fun flavored cupcakes.

So when it came to deciding what we wanted as THE cake, We knew exactly what we wanted.

One small retro shag tropical cake, topped with a fresh brilliant colored dahlia {like the 2nd photo below}.

And for our our favorite family and friends? An eclectic spread celebrating the sinful cupcakes Mr. O and I are always craving and occasionally indulging.

And then we'll sprinkle the treats, a few blooms, tealights and some sparkly confetti across a linen covered table like this.

And voilà! The classic wedding cake, deconstructed and redefined.

Now it's your turn, fellow bees! What are the sinful sweets you'd love to have at your wedding or any other celebration?

Here's to changing the rules...and making life a little sweeter.
