Our Wedding Cake

August 27th, 2010 by     


In my last Post, I talked about the cake tasting disasters.  But now on to tasting #3 and our cake!

Tasting #3:

I had done some research and found a tiny bakery about 45 minutes away from our venue.  The place did wedding cakes but they were mostly a catering company/bakery in the heart of Annapolis, MD, called Palate Pleasers.  When we walked in the owner created us with a huge smile and FINALLY I was excited about our cake.  I had brought some pics to show him, giving him a rough idea of what we wanted.

Idea #1:

For the colors

Idea #2:
(obviously just the shape, not the color)

The one thing I haven’t mentioned about our cake – was that we were on a really tight budget for this – and we still needed to feed 160 people with it.  So after tasting delicious pieces of chocolate on chocolate, butter cream on vanilla, I decided on the tradition vanilla cake, vanilla icing – and it was delicious!  After a few bumps in the road, here’s our cake:
