mexico: try looking into the dreams resort in cancun or puerto vallarta. the one in pv offers private pools, hot tubs and a two tale room for under five grand. the one in cancun is similar, but without the private pool.

there is always italy, but the euro is horrible right now and would be expensive.

i really would not recomened hawaii. i have never been there, but heard from many who have and they were disapointed because it cost so much. for the price you pay to go there, you can get you a kick ass hotel in mexico.

if you have the patience to glide this far, fiji is suposed to be really pretty and exotic!!!!

if you are into the country atmosphere, the poconos resorts are nice. they are all-inclusive and offer awesome rooms with champaigne style hot tubs, indoor private pools and etc. i reckon it is also an hour away from NYC.

vegas….but to me that is not romantic for a honeymoon.

overall….go to mexico! have you ever been before? we went to puerto vallarta last year and it was awesome. we stayed at the golden crown resort and had a fantastic time. they offer honeymoon suites with private hottubs outside for under three grand. we would go there for ours, but we are going to cancun and staying at the dreams.

excellent luck!!!!

as for your cake situation, check out cakecentral.com. i have been checking it everyday to get thoughts for our cake. having different flavors is an awesome thought. some people prefer red velvet over yellow cake and so forth. i reckon it is a fantastic thought and we might do it our selves!!!!

my friends went to Costa Rica for their honey moon and they loved it. They said it was kind of like going to Hawaii but for much much cheaper.

As for cakes, have a cake stand and show a few different cakes. We were plotting to do this but just stuck with the same flavor. Here’s a picture of our cake stand:

The reason why we liked the cruise is because everything was taken care of. We had to arrange for a flight to and from the departure/arrival port, but once we stepped on this ship, we were pampered to death. There was entertainment for all tastes, fantastic food, gorgeous scenery; we could do as much or as small as we wished. We had a cabin with a balcony, and really loved sitting out late at night looking at the water rushing by. We’d call in for room service at 2 am, and they’d bring us tea and sandwiches. It was awesome.

We went to the Caribbean, but we chose that the destination mattered very small – we would have loved it no matter where the ship took us. If you live somewhere near the port of call, it would be really simple for you to just hop on the ship and take a 7-10 day cruise somewhere. I highly recommend it.

For the cake; as I know you want one main cake and a few other cakes (side cakes) in different flavours. Why not make a three-level cake and make each level a different flavour. If it was me I would do a layer of chocolate, a layer of vanilla and a layer of marble (but I’m a chocolate fanatic). Other clean flavour thoughts are:
- Passion fruit cake.
- Coconut cake with kiwi and pineapple crème.
- Pear cake with maple rum buttercream.
- Roasted chestnut cake with Grand Marnier buttercream scented with orange zest.
- Hazelnut and vanilla cake filled with rich chocolate buttercream (close to the taste of Ferrero Rocher).
- Chocolate cake with mint buttercream
- Lemon cake with raspberry
- mint chocolate chip (my fave!!)

I hope your wedding is perfect!
