DFTW cake knife/server set

[stitchlet]

I bought one of these from Disney Floral two years ago . . . love it!

But when I took it out to use yesterday, I noticed there were some "tarnish-like" marks on it. They wiped off with a damp cloth and a fair bit of pressure.

I'm not sure exactly what the finish is on this - do any of you ladies know how I can prevent these marks in the future?

Thanks for any help!

Tarnishing is typical for silver. You just need to polish them with silver polish as you would silver flatwear, serving dishes etc.

Thanks Swmhc! To be honest, I didn't think it was really silver . . .

I know for silver jewelry there are those anti-tarnish sheets that you can put in your jewelry box. I have one in mine (it's a little piece of black paper) and nothing has tarnished. I had a problem with a Disney charm bracelet that tarnished (it turned completely black and I can't get it to return to normal ). Depending in how you are storing them or displaying them maybe try the anti-tarnish sheets. You can probably get some at your local jewelry store. They work for silver jewelry Hope this maybe helps. Good Luck!

I haven't gotten around to purchasing one yet and am wondering about using the one Disney provides (or I think they do). Do most people display them, use them again etc? I love the idea of having one engraved.

Thanks DisBride011 - those sheets sound like a good idea!

I don't display ours, but you could - they really are very pretty! I've used them on our anniversary (with a grocery store cake - LOL!)

Yesterday was our second anniversary (at home wedding with a be-lated Dismoon the following January). Even though the wedding was in NH, it was Disney-themed all the way! We are planning to have a DFTW Vow Renewal so we'll be using the set then as well.

Whichever cake set you get, enjoy it - and be sure to keep using it after you're married!

Anyone have photos of them? What do the ones they provide for free look like in comparison?

This is my first attempt at posting pictures, so here goes [fingers crossed]

I don't know what the free one the DFTW provides looks like; hopefully someone else can help . . .
