You can smooth it out, you just can’t make it look like fondant.

In that particular photoshoot, they had submitted a cake covered in fondant, but had described it as being buttercream. HUGELY misleading… especially with how negative that cake company is about fondant!

Wait…you’re saying you can’t smooth out buttercream with a hot spatula? Not that it matters, I kind of like marshmallow fondant.

That was a great read! Yeah, it was snarky and yes, it pulled the covers off so many, many “Pay for Play” blogs, but it was true. Honest, well researched and true. I admire you, nuff said.

Yep, that was a “spirited” post, and I know it’ll piss some people off.

However, it really did need to be said. I just get so sick of the games, you know?

I just really, strongly believe that when someone is planning such a major turning point in their lives, they deserve to not be manipulated by the media.

Also, as a wedding vendor, know that every day, us wedding vendors can face anywhere from 1 to a dozen or more emails from new wedding planning websites, networking groups, etc. All promise the world, the sky, with their hands out for our advertising dollars. Many misrepresent themselves, taking advantage of many wedding vendors that maybe aren’t as up on things like SEO, unique visitors, etc.

I’ve seen so much manipulation, both of brides and of us vendors – it’s gross. If I didn’t honestly enjoy working with the vast majority of my brides – and a lot of really cool vendors – I’d wash my hands of the whole industry.
