Vacuum up what you can. Then use club soda to flood stain and then start blotting up the ground in cake. Turn the cloth as needed for a clean surface. Don't use paper it will shred. Do not scrub too hard as that can make it worse. You can also use plain cool water but that takes longer. When as much of the cake as you can get out is up, use a carpet cleaner like Woolite or Resolve according to directions to work on the rest of the stain. If someone has a portable carpet shampoo machine or buffer with pads, that can speed your job along.

If you have a product called Spot Shot in your area that will do the trick. Blue can with an orange cap, aerosol spray, at Walmart, and some grocery stores. Fast and easy.

Yep as Sparky says Spot Shot..walmarts carry it..works great.

I've had great luck with Resolve pump/trigger spray. Available any grocery store here. Cloth rags, not paper toweling. It's taken care of everything from baby spit-up to a greasy repeated footprint from a contractor walking though my living room...in work boots! Resolve stain remover

Thank you so much. I will get on these great ideas. im going to look for the spot shot and keep some around. The venue event manager asked me how to get this cake up. I told her I will have the best advise out there shortly; that I would contact my peeps. You all are so helpful!

A bit off-topic, but I would think that cake in the carpet would be business-as-usual at an event venue.

Yes suburbanmd, I think so too. Should be business as usual, but this is a smallish arboretum, and with a new events coordinator. She was wondering if I knew how to get it out. I left her to it. The carpet shampooer she tried leaked. I'll find out soon if she got it out. She did say what she noticed, if she let it dry out, that it peeled up pretty well.

Enduring, I sure hope your not to be charged for any carpet stains.

Hope the wedding was lovely.

Mamap, I wont be responsible for the carpet. Just trying to help the help. You guys are all great to come to my aid with this request. The wedding went very well, thanks so much for asking. I'm exhausted. Took an hour nap at 11am. Now I fell ready for another one. I'm in Des Moines returning sound equipment following a trip to drop off table clothes. My kids and their sweethearts are great and I couldn't have done this diy wedding without them! They all left this morning. Just married couple driving back to Chicago, youngest son and his girlfriend flying back to upstate NY. And oldest son with wife and son, driving back to Seattle. We had a Chicago German Shepard and 2 seattle greyhounds spending time with us. It was crazy. My 2 dogs tolerated it. My cat is on the lamb. I hope she comes back. It's been a week. Hoping she has been hiding in the barn. She does this when the dogs visit. But a week is a long time.

Here is the bridal bouquet I made the morning of the wedding.

Wow beautiful! Love those blush color roses!

Beautiful! I'm glad it went so well!
