Let's Talk Cake!

To fit our 50's/60's reception theme, we wanted a traditional vanilla cake. At our tasting, we loved two layers chocolate Bavarian creme and one layer baked spiced apples. It was a hit at our reception!

Our dessert table. Because our venue included 3 dessert shots, we just bought a one-tier cake.

    Oh yes! And cutting some will likely save you money, right?

    I’m not sure why but red velvet sometimes satisfies my chocolate craving.

    They charge per person, so the won't drop the price overall, but we could put that funding towards another add-on charge. I'm hoping we can use it to pay for the light draping I wanted and the two comfier chair rentals for me and my partner!

    That exchange would be fantastic. A light dessert bar (or even just cake), is fine. Great idea to use extra fund towards decor. How great your venue offers those options.

    It's proving to be the perfect venue so far - hopefully it stays that way!

    Ooh, I'd love to talk cake! We had a lemon cake with lemon filling, and vanilla buttercream frosting. It was a very subtle lemon flavor, so it was perfect. We just recently had our anniversary, and our cake lady made us an anniversary tier since we didn't save the top of our cake (we used it the next day for the brunch thing my sister threw for us).

    For our "groom's cake," we had a candy bar instead. It was hubby's idea, but I loved the idea as well. Smiley laugh

    Such a pretty cake! And is the topper Aristocats?! 🐱


    Lemon cake is yummy, especially for a spring or summer wedding.

    Thank you! Yes ma'am it is! Smiley laugh It's hubby's favorite Disney movie, and one of my favorites, so when I found the topper online, I just knew we had to have it.

    We're doing a two tier cake for just us, the bridal party, and the bridal party's SO. My FH picked a carrot cake with pineapple mousse filling for his tier, and I picked banana cake with vanilla and strawberry mousses for mine. It honestly worked out so perfectly because I thought we'd only be able to afford one tier but two was still in our budget, so FH got to pick his favorite and I got to pick mine.
    We're doing the Birchwood tree design with the leaves from the second cake.
    My favorite part about the bakery is they make a fresh one tier cake for your first wedding anniversary for free!!!We'll have a dessert table for everyone else with cakes and candies and other things. Smiley smile

    Grooms cake will be a Jamaican rum cake

    Wedding cake will be vanilla cake with Raspberry filling and cream cheese frosting.
