One of the most unique aspects of our wedding will be our wedding cake. Moon dude and I both have a passion for cheese. We’re going to incorporate that into our big day. Neither of us have ever been a fan of cake, so we didn’t have any preexisting “wedding cake” ideas. When we went to the NYC Fancy Food show and saw Cypress Grove’s display (shown below), we knew this was it!

We booked our baker this weekend. I was so fortunate to sort of bump into our baker, who is actually a pastry chef and sugar artist, Emily DeLong while waiting to meet our florist. Her business is called Gourmet Bake Shoppe. They have offices where they do consultations at in the same building.

Today was our first cake testing…I booked two weeks ago and planned to take a day off of work to attend the 10 AM appointment. I brought my folder with printed out ideas of cakes, cake stands, cupcakes, decorations, etc… in high hopes that this established bakery would be IT. I envisioned yummy little square samples of tasty and exotic cakes…but sadly we had none of that today.
This is what I envisioned the samples to be like at our tasting. Look at all of the cakes, fillings, and frostings to choose from.
At the local Wedding Show we found our wedding baker and cake decorator, Robbi Broussard from Creative Cake Designs. As always she was serving the most delicious and delightful cake samples to the crowd. I’ve written about our talented baker on a previous post. In my last post, I wasn’t able to show samples of her work. Take a look at the following images that show many of her works of art.

I’ve always wondered what it would be like to get married during the holiday season. There is something so magical about the time of year, and I think it would be a lot of fun to host a winter wedding in NYC. Want to see the details that inspire my imaginary winter wedding?
This gown would be BEAUTIFUL for the bridesmaids…

My love is not only focused on to do lists. There is actually another passion and that’s cake. I love the taste, art, design, concept, etc. Anything that involves cake, I love. This was actually one of my favorite things to do during our research and planning process. Who would be the baker and cake decorator for our wedding?
When I was able to answer that question we needed to determine what we wanted on our cake. Therefore, I started looking at pictures. The following images are from The Knot.
We knew we wanted a decorator with great piping skills.
Our baker should have an artistic point of view…

Whenever I receive wedding invitations, two things come to mind: I can’t wait to see the bride in her dress and I can’t wait for the cake! Some people will probably be more eager to have the free food and drinks…but hey… what can you do?!?

Cake tasting was the one thing that I looked forward to the most in wedding planning. I pictured plates full of sweet, sugary goodness and I wanted to taste every cake in town! Well, timing and this little thing called Diabetes really didn’t allow for all of that cake tasting to happen. So, we selected our baker and went to two tastings with them.
It was important for us to have a cake that was both visually appealing and appealing to the taste buds. I wanted to capture each dessert craving with each succulent layer.

When it came to the kind of cake that we should have at our wedding, only 1 choice seemed right: carrot cake! We met at a potluck over my homemade carrot cake, which is the only cake Calla Lily Dude likes.
The tricky part was that I am very picky about carrot cake and rarely eat carrot cake that I did not make myself. I have tried carrot cake from several bakeries, and didn’t like any, so I decided it to take on my wedding cake as a DIY project…
This seemed out right crazy, so I decided to recruit a few gal pals and make an event out of it a few days before my wedding and the DIY Cupcake Bake Party idea was born.
