I Will Definitely Eat the Cake

Welcome back to another edition of wedding planning and today we are talking about cake.  Now there are two default things I keep hearing – the first is that all wedding cake tastes bad and second, people keep telling me I am not going to eat my own wedding cake.  Let’s address that latter point first, I don’t think they know time that well.  I was able to do a tasting of my cake over New Year’s and it is DELICIOUS.  I will be stopping whatever I am doing and you better believe I am going to have some of my wedding cake.  Full stop.  (That is what the Brit’s call a period to end a sentence but “full stop” is just stronger, don’t you think?)

Now the fact that people say wedding cake tastes bad, this is an interesting one and I can see it go both ways.  Sure, if you are dancing or drinking and you get to your cake nearly an hour after it is served – especially if it has been in the fridge – I can see how it may be soggy and not taste great.  Or if the couple chose an odd flavor, like lavender cake, and you do not care for that. Lastly, I can understand why so many bakers use fondant to create gorgeous masterpieces – it holds up so well – but in my opinion is not the tastiest.  But outside of these three reasons – cake is delicious and wedding cake usually uses the best ingredients, or at least mine will!   While I have the flavors picked out I still have to finalize the design with the bakery and here are some of my inspiration shots:
