i'm creating a surprise 25th anniversary cake-i've decided to make two pillows in the brides' maid dress colors (baby blue) and have two sets of figures-one of bride and groom on their wedding day, one that would represent them now. i would like to encorporate the wedding party. any thoughts on how without making figures? the guys wore black bow ties and girls wore pearls. i thought perhaps to outline the pillows in pearls? any thoughts welcomed!

Could you include the first names of the wedding party along the cake plate edge - if the plate was covered in fondant you could use black gumpaste and alphabet cutters to cut out each letter.

thanks Denise, that's a great idea!
