I think that may be the single coolest cake I have ever seen!

I look forward to more photos of the happy day

Congratulations and best wishes to you and your lovely bride

Cheers

As a baker, I'm impressed by those cakes.
Were the arms and tartan on the groom's cake edible transfers? If so, the rest of us could do something similar. Most good-sized grocery store bakeries have the software and printers to reproduce images from a .jpg file. It's printed on an edible paper, a lot like rice paper, which "dissolves" into the icing.

Congrats on the wedding and marriage.

Congratulations! The fine detail on that cake is amazing. And, of course, the tartan on the sides is a nice touch.

Thanks piperdbh. The entire cake was edible... though I've had experiences with edible transfers from grocery store bakeries and they always seemed a tad tough. not nearly as tough as say, fondant. but this one was as smooth as icing. maybe technology has advanced enough over the past couple years, but i was thoroughly impressed. Just to give a plug to the bakery that did it... Ketchie Creek in Mocksville, NC

personally, I love the photos

We received many many compliments on all of the Scottish threads woven into our ceremony. I really hope we can get some photos of the ceremony itself soon. Our photographer will of course take weeks and months to get our photos back to us, so in the meantime we are having to sit not-so-patiently and wait for our guests to take the time to email us photos.

The grooms cake was even more impressive in person. And it was HUGE! They did an outstanding job.

Oh, and of course everyone loved the kilts! I saw Chris in his formal dress for the first time when I started down the aisle and was floored by how handsome he looked. I think the kilt is a damn fine piece of clothing and never thought it could get better than when he wears it any other time. Now to find another formal occasion so I can see it again!!!
