thanks MG, that's great feedback! Well, the cake we are going to show the cake lady there, has those little figurines of the bride and groom on top (you know the one's?) and they are very, very cute indeed (can't eat em') but unfortunately they cost about $100 each! (per figurine) so we are going to see if they can replace it with something else.. its a beach wedding, so seashells and starfish around the cake would be cute... i've seen it done before at the cheesecake shop.. they have a book with their cakes in it too to look at so might check it out.
thanks heaps!
