My Italian Wedding

March 29th, 2010 - This story was written by Stefania

Have you ever heard about mini wedding cakes? I haven’t! This is why I would like to tell you something about them and Donatella, the Italian artist who patiently makes them.
I found her blog a few days ago and I completely felt in love with it! It is a collection of lovely creations which are real works of art and devotion!

I was particularly impressed by Donatella’s tiny wedding cakes which are 4 up to 5cm high, depending on the number of tiers, made of sugar (included the tiny roses you can see on the picture!) and then fully edible.

I was thinking you can use them for your wedding day in many ways: they give a nice touch of elegance and colour on tables together with place cards ; they are also a perfect treat for your guests at the end of the meal; or they can even replace the traditional favours (a good idea, as suggested by Donatella, is to put them into a transparent box with a nice satin ribbon). Anyway your guests  would be nicely surprised and they could also say: “I had the cake and I ate it all!”

Have a look at Donatella’s tiny wedding cakes - her blog is in Italian but you don’t need explanations to be inspired by her pictures!
