2014 Wedding Series: Wedding Cake Forever First Class Postage Stamps (Value Stamp Not Forever)

Description:

The 2014 stamp covered the two-ounce rate. which is often required for wedding invitations and other oversize cards. ?The first Wedding Cake stamp was issued in 2009.?

Over a quarter of all wedding costs are for catering: hors d'oeuvres. buffets. dinners. and desserts.?The wedding cake. possibly a caterer's most important task. surprisingly remains a relatively small expense in an otherwise costly event.

The cake. cake topper. and cutting fees quite often ring up under $600.?The average cost per slice is about the same as at a restaurant.?However. more involved recipes and elaborate decorating can easily increase even the smallest budget for a wedding cake.??

Regardless of cost. it remains an important element of the festivities on a couple's most important day.

The wedding cake pictured on this stamp was created and designed by Pastry chef Peter Brett.?Ren¨¦e Comet took the photograph.
