My Wordy Wedding Cake

Today it is the day
To choose my wedding cake
I love anything to do with words
So my decision was easy to make

I went off to the baker’s
And they had lots of styles
But I had my heart set on a cake
Adorned with Scrabble tiles

It was to be iced with red fondant
And the letters would be white
With the number of points on the corner
It had to be just right

There would be a message 
On tiers one and two
‘Words can not describe
Just how much I love you'

Our initials on the top
On individual tiles
I want it to be the best wedding cake
That's been seen for miles

I've had some ideas
About the cake board
I saw one on ‘the net'
I really adored

Green squares of fondant
With white piping divisions
What words can go on it?
Decisions, decisions

How about ‘love, honour, respect and trust’?
All of these details must be discussed
When my cake is finished
A photo I will take
I hope you won't be lost for words
When you see my wedding cake
