Does anyone know where to get Ukranian wedding bread in northern Alberta?

We are looking for the kind with little birds on it to hand out individually as wedding favours.

Does anyone know where to get Ukranian wedding bread in northern Alberta?
I'm in Sask. so I'm not sure. I guess it depends on how far north you are - there are lots of Ukrainian communities in Alberta. Try contact the Ukrainian Heritage Village near Edmonton maybe, or Ukrainian churches in nearby communities, or in Edmonton. Somebody has to know somebody who can do this for you. At my wedding, instead of a showy wedding cake, I had a three-tiered Korovai (the wedding breads) decorated with birds and flowers, and colored ribbons matching my wedding colors, and with the traditional myrtle vine decorating it. The woman who made my breads also made the little doves for us to use as wedding favours - we tied a ribbon around the neck and used the ribbon to attach a little slip of paper with thanks for people who attended the wedding, our names and the date. These keep forever! Unfortunately, the big wedding breads didn't! I wish you luck in your search. (Post again if you need something I may help you with. I should find it if you use the word Ukrainian somewhere at the beginning of your question.)
Reply:talk to ukraineans in ur church or just ask the priest if he knos anyone!





p.s. the bread is called a "caravai`".
Reply:Find a Ukranian and ask them if they will make some for you.
Reply:I would try calling a Bakery in the Vegreville area, this town has alot of Ukranian heritage, if they dont have it im sure they will know who does, good luck.
