Fondant: Don't You Want Your Guests to Eat Your Wedding Cake?
There are so many cake designs to chose from when shopping around for a cake for your wedding reception and some new brides may be lead astray. Some may want to go for the traditional look of buttercream icing and others favor the sophisticated style of fondant.
Fondant is somewhat misleading because it has such a sleek look, but a less than desirable taste. Some cake makers warn cake buyers of the downfalls of fondant, but others love to make the higher priced cake. The one benefit that fondant offers is that it seals out all air from the cake with the rolled layer of dough-like icing.
However, most reception-goers look forward to enjoying the tasty cake, where fondant disappoints many. Fondant is made up of such a high content of confectioner s sugar that it takes on purely that flavor. On many occasions when fondant was used, the guest simply discarded the peelable layer. Also, fondant is heavy and requires a very sharp knife and a careful hand as to not smash the cake while cutting it. Fondant is more expensive than typical buttercream icing used in decorating cakes.
With so many things to consider and so many beautiful possibilities, it is cheaper, tastier and easier to choose a traditionally iced cake rather than spending extra money on a cake sealing layer, which more than likely won t be eaten by your guests.

Which favor would you prefer?
We can't decide which.
1. Mexican Sugar skull. We already have molds that are the face only with a flat back. They are about 2 1/2 inches long. We haven't decided if we should make them the tradtional way with sugar and meringue or with white chocolate. If we make them the tradtional way we may decorate them with our wedding colors. Haven't decided. We'd wrap them in saran wrap or put them in cello bags.

^ If you want more information about what they are...That website says not to eat them but we always have. They're very edible if you don't add feathers or sequins or anything like that, which we wont do.
2. Skeleton bride & groom chocolate lolli pops. Again we'd wrap them in either saran wrap or cello bags...Here's the mold we'd buy:

3. Mexican wedding cake cookies. We'd put them in a little favor box and tie ribbon around it, maybe...

My boyfriend is half Mexican. I grew up having some odd facination with Mexican culture we met at his family's restaurantwhen they were celebrating El Dia De Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead)
We're getting married Oct. 25, close to Halloween, one of my fave holidays, Day of the Dead is Nov. 1-2...
We're having a skeleton bride & groom cake topper. So we'll probably go with the cookies so not to be repetitive. But we thought the lolli pops were cute. And the skulls would be something my family probably hadn't seen before.
Geez, yeah, I'm white. It's not like the skeletons and skulls will be everywhere. On the cake and possibly the favors. My mother was actually expecting worse from me since I grew up loving Halloween so much. She thought I'd get married dressed as a zombie!
