Lets eat cake!

[landshark]

Miki I don't know how many are planning on coming to this, as Pete K's Neil YOung set is at 2 at the Tiki, and the wedding is at 3.   I think that after Lalagay and DAyton get their cake, YOU should be next in line for a piece since you are graciously making it, then Tom since he is officiating it, then Hooch and Hippie since they are hosting it.
I think though, that it might be a good idea to just get some small disposable dessert plates for small pieces you can cut,  and we can have a side table to set them on, so people can just get a plate and not have to bring their own.  I would be willing to handle that if you would like, but I would need to know how many, as I have NO idea how many might show up for this.  I also have a HUGE package of plastic forks we could use, since I know I won't feel like having to get the dish station ready for folks to wash their plates when we are getting ready to do the oyster feed.  Just not enough room in the kitchen area for that. I know it's not the greenest way, but certainly much easier considering it will be a clusterf*ck once folks start showing up with more food to go along with the oysters later.
Also, since we are doing a champagne toast, we will most likely have a table for that too, to hold glasses and have someone or two pouring, and another one or 2 or 3 passing out glasses so everyone who wants one will have it for the toast.
It sounds beautiful by the way, and if it didn't sound so darn pretty I'd suggest just a small cake for them to cut and cupcakes for the rest!  I love your vision though; how creative and special.  Must take lots of pics!   

We can also have a place for gifts/cards for the  lovely couple. I have a pretty yellow tablecloth I can bring and a card table for it, and some vases for fresh flowers if anyone wants to bring some.

I can downsize CL. Plates are a great idea and I just want to stay out of the way and go with the flow. Tell me what is best and thank you CindyL. I can make cupcakes and a small version of the same cake. the cake was going to be quite large. It's hard to know how many you will be feeding. What do you suggest?

Jo and I would be willing to also make a couple dozen tie-dye cupcakes if you think we need them!

 Listening to: Tornado warnings.....eeeek!

[Debbiefromtucson]

If they dont need the tie-dye cupcakes. I DO.  oh, not a few dozen- just 6 -12 will do...   I'm a cupcake slut....LOL  And those were so cute...

Now, get into the closet or basement and check in with us when the sirens are over.. I've been worried/thinking of you since the weekend.....

OK Run a Muck I have got the cake plan and I am going to need your help!

I am gonna scope out the route and try to bring it and set it up in my new red wagon(yipee finally a reason to get one )decked out in just married attire, fun city Batman.

3 layers  choc. cake filled with rasb. and bacon in between each layer, white butter cream frosting, fresh flowers deco  and some fest injected deco as well.

Now I know how to do most of the decorating and I have a good vision of what it should look like but if anyone has a steady hand and some skill at wedding cake deco, please step in and give me a hand.

Now if the trail is to rocky to bring the cake over in the wagon, I do have my car, but the more we move the cake, the more room for disaster
 will you have a place to set this up?

FESSSSSSSSSSTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL

And do not forget folks, Bring your own plates and forks.....

I am 90% sure that I have your cupcake basket from TBF 2010.  If it's not yours, it's someone elses! LOL

[landshark]

Tie-dye cupcake, yummmm I better start that diet  I am open not sure what to plan at the moment. Just want to celebrate! And eat cake 

Yep Mel it is mine pretty sure anyway. No worries.

OK so someone needs to guide me on how large a cake to make for the Run a Muck wedding celebration.

And the Pete K set, I really would like to see, he is good and writes with soul ...I love that!

Just let me know what to do about this cake/cupcakes.

The trouble has passed for now. It missed us.
Now onto the Cupcakes.......somewher in all of this mess of cookbooks and other Chefie stuff is a portion guide. I'll look deeper for it and post something soon.

one can never have too many Tie Dye Cupcakes! bring dozens and dozens!

[Cindy Lou]

Oh Miki I didn't want you to downsize the cake too much if it means you can't create your vision of it! (unless you think you need to, to make it a bit easier to transport)  The cake and decorations you describe sound wonderful and incredibly creative and unique, and very special just like the happy couple!  I just want you to do what you want to do, any way you want, as big as you want.  I don't have any idea how many might show up, that's why I suggested paper plates and plastic forks  which I would be very happy to provide.
Tie dye (or not) cupcakes would be quite fun too, just in case some folks don't eat bacon.  (Yea I know, there are a few of THOSE people out there)
Please don't change your ideas or plans just because we don't know how many may show.  You do what you want. It is so very generous of you to do this in the first place!

Hey no sweat, it's not about me it's about Lalagay and her beautiful man Dayton.

 But I don't want to make a huge cake if There is even a slight chance that there will be low attendance. It does sound  like there is alot goin on at that time of day.

So here is what I will do.


Scale it back. No biggie and I'm still bringin my new all terrain red wagon YIPEEEEEEEEE

 Brian and Kimmy get rollin on those cupcakes. (are you ok? You folks are just getting hammered with bad weather)
 Mel has a great basket she can lend you for them

  I LOVE EVERYBODY NOW LETS GET THE HELL OUT OF DODGE ALREADY!

[Lisa Delia]

People coming to the oyster-fest will finish off the cake if that's a worry, hee hee!  Lauren will bring her kit, just in case.  I'll message you my cell #.

My kinda girl, ya just never know when you might need a tip kit. LOVE THAT and thanks.

[Debbiefromtucson]

I dont think there is any chance of low attendance

[Cindy Lou]

I have no idea how many will show up;if it will be just folks who know them or hundreds. I want you to make it easy on yourself since you are bringing it all the way from Golden.  And like was mentioned already, leftover cake or cupcakes won't last 5 minutes once the oyster feed crowd shows up. I think your vision is great and if you can still do it on a cake of a more manageable size would be perfect!

I too can make tie-dye cupcakes.  I've been practicing on my kids.  No deaths or trips to the ER, so the recipe is good so far.  I'll make several dozen.   And I have a basket to put them in! 

There is always room for cupcakes!

I think Hippie may have some extra forks that can't support the weight of anything other than cake, but don't take my word for it.
