Hey ladies, What cake flavors are you guys thinking of? Are you going for an old fashion look? Fondant? Or the new naked? I myself am not a big fan of fondant and have seriously been considering the naked cake. Im having some doubts being that I didn't plan on keep all tiers the same flavor. Hmmm......

    WOW Octavia! This is such a beautiful cake!! I love the naked look too! What flavors are you thinking for each tier? Are you having 4 tiers like in this pic?

    Minus the flowers, and we are changing the copper to black, and have. A copper cake topper. Traditional flavoring.

    Look at all of those flavors!! I'm not surprised that you are having such trouble narrowing it down! Your cake inspo pic is beautiful!! The gold speckles are stunning!!

    A sun for Tangled? Are you incorporating Disney into your wedding?

    There's a few quirky things we want to include for our day and that is one of them. I'm blonde and dating a tall brunette. It's my favorite Disney film and i think the sun would pair well with sunflowers, lavender roses, and a wedding cake topper that days BEST DAY EVER.

    I haven't met with the cake people yet, but I know that FH wants red velvet so that will be at least one tier of the cake.

    I love the look of fondant but not the taste so I don't plan to use it, but don't know what I am going to pick yet. I am thinking a square 3 tier similar to this

    I wouldn't do a naked cake if you are having different flavors that all wouldn't look like the same base color. Like having a vanilla, chocolate, and red velvet tier would look really strange as a naked cake. I would consider buttercream instead of yucky fondant! Or you could do a small two tier naked cake for cutting of one flavor then have sheet cake in the back of the other flavors.

    Mmmmm YUM!! Sound so delicious!! I love the idea of you having 2 cakes. Both ideas are really nice and different. Love it! I’m still undecided on flavors. Only because I was thinking of a cheesecake for a tier being that I want a naked cake.

    I can agree there! Not all naked cakes have a great taste. I am appreciative of those bakers who can make a great naked cake from scratch though, so I will be taking my time to find that. I’m not a fan of fondant, I think it taste horrible. I know a few and have been recommended to a few places who have some some nice, tasteful. Asked cakes so I plan to do all my proper research as time comes.

    This isn’t a bad idea. I was thinking about cupcakes but flagged it off because I didn’t want to have to take any cupcakes home or have guest scattering for something to pack it in. I love the flavors and idea though!! Hope it works out great for you guys ❤️

    I’ve been seeing a lot of ladies saying pink champagne for their cake flavors. I have to see what the hype is about. Hope the tasting goes great for you guys though ❤️

    I don't mind taking some home, but I am also going to have like little boxes in case anyone wants to take a cupcake home with them. Because I know sometimes I am full and don't want to eat dessert when I am at a wedding. That way I'm hoping I won't have too many cupcakes to take home with me.

    Nice! Some suggested this to me but I’m concerned that guest will be worried about getting dirty so we decided to pass. I do love the idea though. How it turns out great for you ❤️

    That’s really my only concern. I just hate the taste of fondant and I’m a bit over the buttercream. It’s delicious but wanted to try something a bit different. I’ve noticed at events icing is usually left on the plate, especially if there was fondant.
