FI and I went to 2 tastings today. I will keep the names out so no opinions are biased ;-) We aren't going to meet with anyone else, just these 2 and should get the estimates within a week or so. Here is the thing....I liked #1 better -cake was very good and filing was just right, not too strong. FI liked #2 better -cake was not as good but filling was stronger flavor. We will most likely do either vanilla w/raspberry or vanilla w/lemon. Or a mixture of both where both fillings are in each tier. Choice #1 is going to be more $$ but about 100-175 probably. so my question is, what matters to you more, the cake or the filling?? (I think the filling should compliment the cake, not overwhelm you, but I also don't care for berries to much while FI LOVES them.) And were you and FI ever on different sides when it came to a vendor? How did you decide or compromise? Sorry this got a little long

TIA!
