Favors for the Reception

by Charity Curley

With Elisa Strauss of Confetti Cakes -- as seen on the 'Today' show!

The perfect shower cake for a bride-to-be who loves to shop

What is the most requested cake flavor?
Our number one request is Valrhona chocolate with vanilla buttercream and raspberry preserves.

Do you have a personal favorite?
I love the praline buttercream with the old-fashioned vanilla cake.

Any cautionary tales to share? What not to do?

Try not to mix too many ideas or colors on one cake. The entire cake should have a rhythm to it and each tier should look like it belongs with the others.
