What are the rules for a rehearsal dinner cake?? What is it supposed to be?? They are serving Italian food. Couple's interests are camping, kayaking and golf. Bride said no to a kayak, she works at a country club and is tired of golf - I just don't know what to do 
What are some ideas for a cake? Do you make a funny cake, a serious cake or what??
dodibug, that is a very pretty cake!! You do great work. That is a splendid idea about the invites, but their invitation is plain. Beautiful paper, but nothing but the wording on it - no folds, no ribbon, no embellishments. Thank you though, since I did get to see one more beautiful cake! 
awww, thanks!
What about using the colors of their wedding and making some simple cut out fondant flowers and scrolls and vines. That always looks elegant and pretty for summer.
Or you could make a tent out of gumpaste and make a little camping scene. Little campfire, etc and then around the bottom of the cake use candy or fondant rocks, some grass, that kind of thing.
Yes Grannie, that's what I would do too. The bride and groom cakes. I made a different bride and groom cake. They are in my photos. They are actually alot of fun to make.
what about CC bouquets as place settings, the wedding I am doing the 1st weekend in September has ordered that for their rehearsal dinner 20 of them!
Ok here I go with my wierd Ideas. You said they are outdoorsy. what about a 1/2 sheet, Camping scene. You could put a tent ( or maybe two if more appropriate) the A framed kind made out of fondant with two pairs of feet hanging out of it . and just infront of the tents you could have a river and bank with two Kyaks beached. If you wanted you could add trees and bushes, grass and maybe sone little critters (or even Eyes of little critters checking out the tent.)
That's all I can think of now.

Love it all!!! Tent: 50-50 gumpaste and fondant dried at an angle???
Do you think Grandmas would like all the feet in one tent? 
Thanks for all the great ideas! Can't wait to discuss them with the couple! Anymore ideas??
Hope you all have sweet cake dreams tonight 
I'd say yes to the 50/50 fondant/gumpaste. Cut into a rectangle. And dried. Then put them together into a triangle.
Oh Grandma....... That's why I said or two tents, if more appropriate (I don't know about kids these days.)
For the river (if you want that) you can use edible rocks with white frosting around them like rapids.
MMMMM Sweet cake dreams, I'm doing a wedding cake for tomarrow the last thing I want to think about right now is sweet cake (maybe savory).
Have a good night.

I got it....I got it..... Two tents Catch phrase ......
To Two Becoming One!
CourtneysCustomCakes, you crack me up!
Maybe they could have their arms extended out from each individual tent and be holding hands
he comes over on Monday, I will show him this post. Good to have a laugh, just got back from the funeral home.
Stay cake happy and be cool wherever you are - we are going to push 100 again this week
