Let Them Eat Cake


Truth is-I'm not much of a cake eater. Or at least on the wedding cake scale of things I'm not. I like carrot cake with cream cheese icing and chocolate lava cake but I'm not a big fan of wedding cake. 

What I am a fan of, however, is the look of a beautiful cake at a wedding reception and how the bride and groom have their "cake cutting" moment and all of that good stuff.

Today, my future MIL and I went cake tasting for the wedding cake. It was fun and we tried lots of different types of cake.



This cake here was the clear winner. Can you guess which flavor we chose??! Apparently one of the things brides like to do now is have different flavors for each tier of the wedding cake. Well, this flavor was so good that we decided that the entire cake should be one flavor so that all of our guests could enjoy it. (They'll thank me later, I know :)

All in all, it was a streamlined process from tasting to design deciding to ordering. For that I was grateful. I was also grateful that my MIL took the time to come with me to share in the experience. Her and my Mom are the two people I know who love cake so it was an obvious choice (my Mom is out of town visiting my dear sister). We ended up making an afternoon of it and we also got my MIL's dress hemmed for the wedding as well as found a dress that I think will work for my upcoming shower this weekend.
