How bizarre – I’ve just made my first bundt cake and then I see your post.
Yours looks lovely and the “bouquet toss” a wondwerful idea.

Hi Cakelaw-Thankyou so much! I think they should abolish the bouquet toss and make the cake bouquet mandatory

This is such a cute cake – and it sounds delicious. Also a clever idea – much more fun that catching a thrown bouquet.

Hi Tartlette-It’s a rather frightening sounding custom isn’t it! Thanks so much for hosting the event

Hi Kim-Thanks so much! I agree, I think cake is much more worth fighting for

Beautiful cake, how did I ever miss this one. Never heard of the practice, but would have fought for this cake if I had a chance. Lovely.

The practice was new to me coming from France once I moved to the US and I continuously dodged the bouquet. I would have been all over that cake though
Thank you for your entry!

Hi Ruth-It is really cute and yes very adaptable. Do let me know if you make it and how it turns out! Yup I am a ribbon collector, I can spend so much money in paper and ribbon stores

This sounds like such a fun idea!!! I’m thinking I might adapt it into a game with my youth group!

And you’ve used such beautiful ribbons too! I’m sure this went down well.

Hi grace-Thankyou so much! Aha! You’re a smart cookie, it’s quite an art when everyone is trying to push in the way of the bouquet!

Hi Maria-Thanks so much You’re right, it is very maypole-y! I think sour cream should be a compulsory addition to cakes. Thanks for your wishes

Hi Sandie-I am mad for citrus flavoured cakes so the event was a good excuse to make one. Yes it would be fantastic for a kid’s party. A bundt cake is so versatile (and easy to decorate).

Super cute idea–so fresh (with the hints of citrus) and lovely! The little ribbons remind me of ribbons on a Maypole and conjures up images of children dancing and singing, weaving all the colorful ribbons together. With that in mind, this cake could have a lot of varied uses and work for many different occasions.
