This review is from: Bride's Little Book of Cakes And Toasts (Hardcover)

I really liked this book because not only did it give a short history lesson behind traditional wedding etiquette, it also showed us some very different and unusual styles of cakes. I liked the quilt-design cake but others I showed it to thought it was tacky. Needless to say it's an interesting design. This little pocket book will come in handy, I'm sure, when it is my turn to take my final stroll as a single woman. But who knows when that will be. . .I'm still 20!
