BRIDES Magazine Names America's 50 Most Beautiful Cakes in April/May 2008 Issue

Online Voting Contest at http://www.Brides.com/Cakes Gives Readers Chance to Win Favorite Cake

NEW YORK, Feb. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- In its first-ever feature devoted to America's 50 Most Beautiful Cakes, BRIDES magazine highlights bakers from around the country in a 22-page spread that displays the skill, inspiration, and artistic heights a wedding cake can achieve. All 50 cakes will be featured online at http://www.brides.com/cakes, where readers and online visitors can vote for their favorite, plus the chance to win the cake of their choice for their wedding day. The issue goes on sale and the contest begins February 12th.

BRIDES editor in chief Millie Martini Bratten said, "While there are so many special elements to a wedding, the cake-cutting ceremony is one tradition everyone looks forward to. Today's wedding cakes are works of art; whether they're fanciful, whimsical, romantic or modern, this issue highlight's the nation's best." They're beautiful and delicious, but there is more to wedding cakes than meets the eye, according to the following statistics from Conde Nast Bridal Media:

-- The #1 tradition engaged couples will incorporate into their big day
      is the cutting of the cake (95%).

-- Couples spend an average of $463 on their wedding day cake.

-- 51% of brides list wedding cake ideas as one of their top needs
      throughout the wedding planning process.
