Cakes, cakes, and more cakes

My girlfriend is getting married on October 10th and I wanted to try another "cake" so i made her a "Wedding Cake." It was super quick to make and I thought it would make a great shower gift. I was thinking this would even be cool as a birthday or a new home buyer gift. I went to her registry and found the colors of her kitchen and a couple items that she registered for. I bought a 3 pack of Calphalon Wooden Spoons, a Calphalon Pot Holder, a Trivet, a Candle, and Bar Towels.

The Trivet is from her registry, I thought it was cute for a base or do a "Baking" themed one with a round cake pan. I then rolled the bar towels around the candle (it is a sugar cookie candle). I then did the top layer and wrapped the pot holder around it. I left a hole in the top layer so I can put the remaning spoon in it.

I didn't have a big budget for her gift but my head was running with ideas of what other themes I could do. Like...

Wine Themed Cake (Bottle of wine, opener, wine glass tags, etc)
Bar Themed Cake (Martini Shaker, Bar Tools, Mini Alcohol Bottles, etc)
Baking Themed Cake (Spatchula, mearing spoons, round baking pan, apron, etc)

I could even start monogramming napkins!!

WOW...the possibilities are endless. Maybe some of you readers will be the lucky ones to get a suprise in the mail one day or even on your doorstep.

Do you have any ideas for me? Leave me a comment!
