I'm very pleased to announce that after 8 months of planning we have finally found a cake baker with exceptional work. I am very picky about the quality of a cake design and I have an appointment with a cake baker on Friday to discuss our ideas. I had looked at their website before but I wasn't convinced until I saw the black and white damask cake that has just been added. I'm not even a huge damask fan, but I have definitely considered many damask things for the wedding because they are beautiful, elegant, and black and white. Originally I wanted a white cake with black scrolling designs on it, but I have always seen those perfect black designs done with a stencil and loved how symmetrical they are.
Here's the link to the website. There is a very short slideshow, but it's worth it to see their work.
Raindrop DessertsHere's some pretty pictures of our favorite cake topper. The letter "T' on the left, but it will be the size of the middle letter, and some cakes with black stenciling. I still might do a cake with pedestals and our dark flowers placed between the tiers, on the top, and at the bottom with the silver stand. Not exactly sure, but the stenciled designs are so perfect and would look good either way.
Of course there's my love for pedestal cakes! Except I just want three tiers, because it will be on a silver cake stand.
