Can anyone tell me how to put the charms inside of a wedding cake?
My mother used to decorate wedding cakes adn did charms all the time.





Tie pretty matching ribbons to each charm. Leave 2-4 feet or ribbon hanging. After assemblign the cake at the reception, but before the final piping on the bottom layer, use your offset spatula and tuck the charms in w/ the spatula; just slide them in under the bottom cake layer. Then go back and pipe yoru shell or whatever edging around the base. Dont' put them in any particular order, and have a print-out or two handy of what each charm means to the girl who pulls it (wedding ring: next one to be married; thimble: spinster/old maid, etc.)
Reply:Bake the cake first, then gently insert the charms, then frost well. Nobody will know where the charms are. It's disguised!
