Something old... Whether you are newly engaged, already married, or on the brink of popping the big question, being engaged is a wonderful experience. Your friends and family heap good wishes, positive thoughts, and sage advice upon you and your beloved. The whirlwind of excitement around your big day is momentous. However, until the big day finally arrives, it's all about engagement parties and wedding showers! These celebrations are ways to not only spend time with those who love you but also add to the infectious joy you are already feeling. Engagement parties and wedding showers are also the precursors to the wedding and give those that are invited a sense of what is to come on the big day. Whether you are throwing an engagement party or wedding shower, helping plan one, or are simply the guest of honor, the cake can be the most beautiful (and delicious) centerpiece at the event. Rules of Engagement…Cake! An engagement cake is a tasty new tradition for many couples with the added bonus that it allows them to experiment with their wedding cake options long before the big day. At any party, food is often the focus, and an engagement cake can be as fun or formal as the couple desires as they begin their sweet journey to the altar. From Tiers to Showers The wedding shower is an important part of wedding activities. One of the key features of a wedding shower is the cake! It is not only for guests to indulge in but also serves as the centerpiece for the event and often foreshadows the theme, atmosphere, and bride's style. Whether celebrating an engagement party or a wedding shower, remember to not only keep in mind theme but also if it is a formal or more casual event. This will help when choosing a cake. More importantly, keep the couple's taste in mind. This is a time to celebrate their love, and what better way to capture that defining moment than with cake? ...something new! 57 Maple Street Danvers, MA 01923 978-774-4545 Mon–Sat 9am–6pm www.cakes4occasions.com weddings@cakes4occasions.com
