I found my wedding cake!

I am currently planning my wedding, which is in March.  I am one of those people who is a planner by nature and does a ton of research, speaks to a lot of people and understands the importance of finding good, reliable vendors for events.  I should also mention that I am a former event planner for the retail and medical industries; planning events that ranged from 10 to 25,000 guests.  However, I have never arranged a wedding, which is the most personal and important event that I will ever organize! 

I find a sense of accomplishment and excitement each time I find a vendor that I want to add to my “wedding team.” Therefore, I am enthusiastic to share my great experiences with other brides-to-be.  When I searched for my cake, I wanted something that not only looked beautiful and was personal to me, but also tasted good.  I am a self-proclaimed “foodie” and went to a few cake tastings from some of the well-known bakeries here in Orlando.  Although the cake designs may have been a work of art, the cakes didn’t taste good at all.  I asked these bakers several questions, and discovered that some of them use cheap boxed ingredients and don’t necessary serve you the freshest cake on your wedding day. 

I discovered Michael Anthony Cakes through my online research and by speaking to friends who had gotten wedding cakes from him.  When I called, I spoke directly to Michael Anthony.   When I went to a tasting, he specially prepared a few different variations of what we had discussed over the phone; unlike other places that just served me what they had on-hand.  Undoubtedly, it was the best tasting wedding cake I had tried.  I am a fitness instructor and a health freak that occasionally splurges on desserts, and I couldn’t stop eating Michael’s cakes.  If he wasn’t sitting in front of me, I may have licked the plate.  He certainly used high-quality, fresh ingredients. 

In regards to design, Michael was prepared to show me photos of cakes that he had done in the past that were comparable to ideas we had discussed on the phone.  Other places didn’t take the time to prepare anything for me.  They just handed me a stack of wedding cake books to review.  Michael was devoted to understand my style and sentiments.  He came up with a design that was personal to me and that I felt confident about.  Clearly, Michael Anthony Cakes was the best option for my wedding cake.  He is talented and has a vested interest in making sure my cake is special and yummy!

    I follow him on Facebook and he often posts pictures of his creations - he is most definitely talented!  It's good to hear that his cakes taste as good as they look. :)

    I am using Michael as well.  His cakes are amazing and the cake he is creating for me should be beautiful!

    no offense but this post seemed more about promoting yourself than Michael.

    this does sound more of a promoting/advertisement comment. vendor perhaps?

    No. I am certainly not a vendor. I am just planning my wedding that is in 121 days.  I go through the same highs and lows as any typical bride who is planning a wedding.  I have bridesmaid and family drama.  I deal with vendors who don't return my calls.  I am paying for my own wedding with my life savings and have already blown my budget.  I have moments like, why didn't we just fly to Vegas and get married?  So, that's why when I find a vendor who I enjoy working with, I hope to help other brides that are going through the same things I am going through.  If anyone has questions about other vendors, I would be happy to share my experiences.

    I am meeting with Michael next week and very excited from all of the positives I have read about him. Thank you so much for your in-depth description. I am not the best in writing so when I find a message like yours it is EXTREMELY helpful. Like you explained, this is a very personal event and there are brides like myself that need all the help they can find. Thank you again!
