Cake Tasting Disasters… |

The cake tasting, for many of us, is something we get excited about. I mean seriously – you get to stand in line somewhere, or have a personal session, tasting 10+ types of cake. It’s every child’s dream!
However, for me, because I’m not a HUGE cake person, this part of the wedding planning process wasn’t something I was thrilled about. But, Lavender Dude was. We ended up having THREE tastings, but not by choice.
So let’s start with Tasting #1.

Lavender Dude and I go home for the weekend and my mom has asked a local baker to give us a few samples of her cake. We test the cake – it tastes okay. We are sick for 3 days after. Hence the photo above – we were unaware that the woman was still living in 1940 and made all of her batter and icing with lard. I’m sorry, but GROSS. Tip: Ask the baker what ingredients they use before you taste it!
Tasting #2:

We went to a local bakery and they were having an open tasting (apparently they do them on Sundays). We stood in line for 45 minutes and were rushed through the tasting very quickly not having time to ask what flavor was what or even savor the flavor of each. Tip: Go with a knowledge of what you think you want so you know what type of cake to grab if you’re being rushed through the line.
Needless to say – I was ready to skip the cake all together. Stay tuned for Tasting #3 and our amazing cake!
