So... we picked our cake! it was funny because FI wasn't to happy about this task.
His Gma is a cake decorater and some of you may remember that she was totally not willing to work with me. She already picked out our flavors without me even TRYING them or giving suggestions - at first she wasn't even gonna TELL me the flavors she said "its a surprise!" uh no... not for my wedding. lol. And she wouldn't let me pick the style of the cake either. THIS is what she wanted it to look like.
nope! i don't think so. i think it looks like a Quincierra cake from the 80s. She was soo unwilling to budge on what SHE wanted... so we ended up telling her (nicely) that we wanted all family just to relax on the wedding and not be responsible for anything. and we hired someone to do it. but martin is having a hard time with us paying $330 for a cake we could have got for free. but oh well. lol.
it was funny because we are looking at pictures of cakes while the lady is getting our samples and my FI finds a cake that he likes and says "this is nice. i like this."
now remember...i have already had a meeting with the cake lady and picked things out. haha. Martin picks the SAME style that i had already picked out! lol. Here is what we picked... but not with as many flowers. it will be stacked, butter cream, 4-tier cake with alternating swirls and dots on each tier.
The same thing happened with our flavors. lol. The flavor i picked for FI is the one he LOVED! hehe. We are having it for out top tier too (which we will eat on our 1 year) here are our flavors:
top tier - Strawberry cake with Bavarrian Cream
2nd tier - Champagne cake with Strawberry filling (i didnt think i would like this but it was really good!)
3rd tier - Chocolate cake with caramel filling
4th tier - Strawberry cake with Bavarrian cream
yummy! Tomorrow we are picking out tuxes!
