We FINALLY finalized our cake the other night. We originally had another girl to do it and tried her cake last week and it was HORRIBLE! I freaked out and FMIL had already called some of her cake people (assuming mine would fall through). We met with her first lady thursday and while I didn't get exactly what I wanted, we have a cake and I'm happy with it. At least I dont have a white cake with white icing like FMIL wanted! haha
All while this was happening, FMIL decided she was going to pay for the cake so we'd have what we (she) wanted. FI didnt want a grooms cake and instead several cakes/pies, which I was fine with since in the beginning I just wanted a huge dessert bar and no cake at all. After arguing the other night, FI gave in to a grooms cake and said if anyone hates it it's her (FMIL) fault. His mom wants it her way or no way.
But whatever, we have cake and its one less thing I have to stress over! We are doing a 3 tier square cake with white icing and pearls all over with blue ribbon banding on the bottom of each tier. The first layer will be white, second strawberry, and the top butter pecan. Yum!
