Sweet Success

Well, I can check one more item off my unrelenting "to-do" list: We have decided upon a cake! I was never too worried about the whole cake business, in fact, I can never remember what the cake looked or tasted like at anybody else's wedding, but it is an important part of the reception nontheless. It will be a three-tiered cake, with a little water fountain thingy underneath it. In fact, that is why we chose this particular cake. Extra toys are always a bonus, and the water fountain gives the cake an extra appeal. Who knows, maybe someone will actually remember it after our wedding! That will prove difficult, however, because I think we'll have all of five minutes to view it (Russell and I will be cutting the cake BEFORE dinner, not after....this way they can cut and serve the cake for desert) Not only does the cake have a neat water fountain, but the biggest bonus is that it actually tastes good! When the cake lady brought out a sample piece, My Mom and I cleaned the plate! I'm not sure of your experience, but I have never had wedding cake that didn't taste dry, or slightly odd in some way or another...although this is primarily because the baker makes the cake one to two days beforehand....Anyways, if the baker we chose doesn't change the batter ingredients before September, we should be all good! We chose a marble cake (chocolate and vanilla swirl) with raspberry filling and buttercream icing. MMMM sooo yummy! & I don't like cake! I personally liked the whipped cream icing better but September can still be hot, and we didn't want our cake melting all over the dance floor (that's our guests' job!). Be sure to try at least a taste of it!

This cake is similar to the one we will have, although ours has roses and hydrangeas on it, with fresh flowers covering the base. (sorry the pic is so small) Actually, I think the one we picked out is a lot prettier : )


There is the fountain I am talking about: We will have a periwinkle blue light in the bottom, with fresh flowers scattered so you can't actually see the base. I just think it'll look so cool...I know, I'm way too excited about cake accessories....now all we need is a topper!
