Aaj Kal Ke Bacche - Saving The Cake
Cake at a wedding is a great idea - the whole kuch meetha ho jaye sentiment.
Kids are just too cute and even more so in their cute outfits at weddings.
But both together is a disaster waiting to happen.
At a reception we did some time back, we had a beautiful 3 tier cake with scrumptious white buttercream frosting and elegant piping. We setup the cake table with fresh flowers and a really pretty white self design table cloth. The cake came out and was placed on the table. Everything was set and we were just waiting for the couple to arrive. We left the cake on the table and went to see if everything was ready. A shrill giggle hit our ears and almost simultaneously, we looked at the cake - and to our horror, 3 kids were standing near the cake table looking at the cake with unkind eyes. We ran to the table but before we could reach one of the kids had throw his hand onto the cake and picked out a nice chunk for himself. Luckily, we reached in time to save the rest of the cake from this battalion of little ones, promising them BIG pieces once the cake was cut.
As for the gaping hole in the cake, we got creative and plugged it with 4 fresh roses and no one knew !! ;)
