The Cake

Edit: Our Wedding Cake

Wow… I can’t believe our wedding is only about 5 months away :o Everything seems to be falling into place but there is still so much to do.

I’m not sure if I mentioned it or not, but the cake is what I’m most excited about :nod: Rhonda from Confections on the Coast is my pastry chef.  I fell in love with this cake of hers:

Sample Cake

For my cake, however, I chose this shape:

Petal Shaped Cake

Below is a preliminary sketch of my cake (click for larger version):

Our cake topper will be a chocolate version of our monogram (which I will post soon) :9 The quilted second tier is based on this cake:

Cake with Quilted Tier from The Knot

Not only is Rhonda a wonderful artist but also an amazing chef! Over Spring Break my parents and I tasted these flavors:

  • French Vanilla w/ mascarpone cheese and white chocolate filling
  • Grand Marnier Butter Cake w/ blackberry filling
  • Fresh Strawberry w/ cream cheese filling

All 3 were the best cake I’ve ever put in my mouth :spin: In mid-July we’re having a second cake tasting (so Will can come) and we’re sampling these flavors:

  • Red Velvet w/ cream cheese and toasted pecans
  • Italian Cream w/ raspberry filling
  • Amaretto Cake w/ peach filling

    That looks so yummy :D I can’t wait to see pictures of the actual cake, though I suppose I’ll have to wait a loooooong time :P

    Also, these cakes are making me hungry! >.<

    Have you regarded including extra videos for your blogs to keep readers much more entertained? I mean I just read during the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I’m more of a visual learner,I found that being more valuable. Just my my idea, Good luck
