Wedding Cake

I really loved our wedding cake. It kind of speaks for itself but each layer was a different flavor: strawberry grand marnier, chocolate with Oreo cookie mousse, red velvet, and chocolate with chocolate mousse.

We chose basic roses (mainly because of the cost...) but it really was gorgeous!


Our cake forks are the "Mr. & Mrs." forks I got as a gift at my shower! They are from Etsy.


We never bought a cake knife & server -- we just used the venue's.

We asked that the entire cake be cut up and displayed so that guests could have their choice of which flavor they wanted rather than be passed out from the kitchen. So, the DJ made an announcement letting everyone know where it was -- but we still had SO MUCH left over. Boxes & boxes!

We did freeze the topper and I guess we'll see how it tastes in a year! :)


P.S. - We leave for our Honeymoon on Sunday!

Cake testing!

Here are some pictures from our cake testing at Konditor Meister.




It was a little upsetting, because EVERY little thing... is an extra and costs more money. =(

But I'm happy with what we picked! And I think our guests will enjoy the flavors, too. I personally think all wedding cakes are beautiful but I really wish I could have crystals and diamonds!

When we actually get our cake it should look a little bit like this...


I wish it could be square like this... just like I wish my tables could be square. But... both are too expensive to change.

154 days & counting...

Sean and I got home from our first dance class a few hours ago. And let me tell you...

It was so amazing!

It was easy and fun. And I only got stepped on 3 times... I'm pretty sure all three times were my fault because I stepped with the wrong foot. =( I'm learning!

Our next class is on Thursday. So we'll see what happens then.

In other wedding news...

My mom is planning my bridal shower. The invitations have been sent and I keep hearing rave reviews about how cute they are! I can't wait to post pictures.

It's pretty soon and every once in a while she sends me adorable pictures of things she's thinking of having at the shower. Today... champagne glass name tags!





They make me smile!

Tomorrow we'll be eating lots & lots of cake for lunch ;)

...And Sean's show went extremely well last night.

Winter Weddings

This winter wedding cake from Martha almost makes me want a winter wedding... but then I go outside and realize it's only 30 degrees and the appeal is gone.

More inspiration

Perfect!

So, I found this wedding on The Knot! and I think it's beautiful! I love the light pink and blush. I love the black chiavari chairs with the white chair pads. I love the hanging lanterns [although I don't think they're possible]. I love, love, love everything about it.


These flower arrangements were on each guest table at this same wedding. I love that they're small & simple. This is just what I want!


Same wedding! It's so pretty! I love it!! I know I want an all white cake, and I've never seen anything like this before! It's fantastic!

What a wedding crush, I have. ♥

Pretty, Pretty!

Our Easter cake from Konditor Meister!

Konditor Meister! [AGAIN]

So, last weekend we celebrated Nan's birthday and we choose another cake from Konditor Meister. =) Unfortunately, I left my camera in Mendon all week so I couldn't post pictures until now! This cake was absolutely amazing! In between the different layers there was a whipped cream frosting with fresh cut strawberries. =) So delicious!




Luckily, for tomorrow's Easter dessert we are trying ANOTHER Konditer Meister cake! Birthdays and holidays are such a great excuse to try all the different choices they offer! I'm sure tomorrow's cake will be just as fantastic!

Konditor Meister!

Today, my mom and I went to Konditor Meister! It was so insanely busy for being a weekday around 1PM. Literally, having at least 50 people behind the counter, ALL working on something, and a bunch of people waiting for orders, waiting to place orders, looking puzzled as to what they should order [ahem, that was us!], it was just a madhouse!

But, this cake bakery has my favorite wedding cakes! They have been at all the bridal shows I've been to [oh no, to vs. too -- English major, think, think] AND their cakes happen to be included in our package deal at Christina's! Amazing.

So, we had plans to ask questions and look around and imagine/envision/plan/etc. But when we got there, it was so busy, that even though they weren't rude by any means, we didn't get the feeling that it was an appropriate time to ask questions including standard questions like, "how are you?"...

So, we quickly picked up a list of what they offer, told the woman we were looking for a chocolate cake for a birthday [Barb's!], she choose one for us -- wrote Happy Birthday Barbara -- and we were out of there before we even knew what was happening. Crazy!

So after dinnertime, it was time to celebrate B's b-day! With our birthday music in the CD player and cameras out like the paparazzi [anyone who has attended a b-day celebration in Mendon before, knows exactly, what I'm referring to], it was time to blow out candles and cut the cake!

And let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious!



Everything from the texture, flavor, frosting, chocolate flakes, strawberries! Perfect! AND I don't even really like chocolate cake! But I loved this one!

We all did!

Isn't it beautiful?!

Pretty Cakes!

These are cakes I've seen at two separate bridal shows =)

Both are Konditor Meister cakes and are soo yummy!



I'd like to duplicate these, please =)
