Glass Cake Wedding Centerpiece

When youre planning your wedding its necessary to tie things together so that, even if there is no particular theme, it all flows together smoothly. For instance, if youre having a country wedding, a towering, glass cake would seem out of place. But, if youre having an elegant, sophisticated wedding that glass cake would fit right in. And it will. Build a glass cake centerpiece for your elegant wedding and, even though it wont cost that much, your guests will be in awe of the gorgeous arrangement.Your wedding guests will be taken aback when they see a towering cake, made completely of glass, that takes center stage on the table. In fact, you can easily make that centerpiece, plus smaller versions to put on other tables, and at a budget price. You dont need any special talents, whatsoever, to make these glass cakes.Choose drinking glasses to make the particular cake you want. Youll have many extra options if you choose clear glasses, but to match the glass cake to your d?cor or color scheme, you can choose blue glass, pink glass or others. Select drinking glasses rather than juice or other glasses. The glasses can have patterns or other designs but must all be the same size. Also, buy only glasses which are the same size at the bottom as they are at the top. Shop at a discount department store - or even a thrift store - to purchase glasses which look beautiful but cost little.Decide if you want the glass cake to be square or round. Start by turning the glasses upside-down and gathering them into a large circle or square. On top of those glasses, arrange another circle or square, but make it smaller than the first one. Continue adding another and another tier until the cake is as tall as you want. End with a single glass or a small gathering of glasses on top.If youve used glasses which allow one to see through them you have many options for decorating inside of them. Place a single flower under each glass, ball up tulle and put it under the glasses, or create your own design. Another choice is to feature some flowers on top of the glasses on each tier. Top the glass cake with an arrangement of flowers or even a bride and groom.Although the glass wedding cake will stand on its own - as long as no one severely bumps the table - you can, if you want, use tiny pieces of double-sided tape to hold the glasses in place on the stack. It doesnt take long to build the cake that will take the breath away from every one of your guests.
