When I am looking for a particular theme for a cake, I go to google and do a search for it. Once on the google page you can click the word ‘images’ on the left side of the black bar across the top. This should give you plenty of options for ideas. If you do edible image cakes, you can save the pic to your computer and then print it off on a frosting sheet. Hope that helps

Wilton has a red food coloring that says “RED (NO TASTE)” on the label. I haven’t noticed the bitterness with that, but it seems like it takes more of the coloring to get it to the right shade. Red is one of those colors that I think is hard to get to the right shade because it does take so much of the coloring. Good luck!

Mellissa,
I have been wanting to do a 'this is you're life" cake. I think for an older person that would be awesome! Each tier could represent a life stage.

Any suggestions on how to find a red cake color that doesn't have a bitter taste? Thanks.

@ Nikki – please refer to this post about colors: http://www.cakeideas101.com/cake-ideas-coloring-the-icing   It lists how to make navy blue by adding black to royal blue. I believe royal blue is the normal blue coloring – it just takes a lot of it. Hope that helps

Probably one of the easiest things you can do is get ahold of a wedding cake decorating book (such as Wilton’s) and look at all their photos to get an idea of what kind of piping you want to do. There are so many options with the different icing tips you can use as far as the design and size, but also accenting it with wedding colors or leaving it white like the icing on the cake itself. Of course you will want to get your daughter’s input to make her wedding cake memorable. Good luck!
