2nd thoughts on cake

I've always loved these two cakes and I really want to narrow it down soon.  I'm hoping that some outside opinions will help me make a final decision.

Background info - peacock themed wedding with teals and purples as the main colors.  The cake table will be a focal point as soon as guests walk in the room and I want it to make a statement.  There will be four large cylinder vases at each "corner" of the cake with a submerged phalaenopsis orchid and led lights.  The cake table will have a pin spot on it and the rest of the room will have purple uplighting.

Cake one:  The tiers would be separated and have deep purple carnations with peacock feathers sticking out here and there.  There will also be a few carnations and peacock feathers around the top with an "H" letter topper.  We would use the same icing and ribbon colors as shown.


Cake Two:  We would use a combination of the deep purple carnations, dendrobium (smaller) orchids, and mini callas with peacock feathers and it would all be placed as shown.  We would use teal ribbon instead of brown.  Also, this cake has a faint design on it and we would have a smooth finish.  The "H" letter topper would also be used.

  • I really like cake one.  I see the design on it lending itself really well to your peacock theme.

  • I like the second the best. I think it's so elegant, but I'm partial to square cakes. I really don't like round cakes.

  • I like cake one! I can see the peacock feathers as an extension of the design on the cake.

  • I like cake 2, it is elegant and different which makes it stand out even more.

  • I find the second cake much more elegant and plus the square shape feeds more people.

    I like cake one better. I also think the design lends itself really well to your theme.
