When Sweeter and I went up North for me to try on my wedding dress
{i.e. the one I am wearing on our wedding day}
{i.e. not a sample}
{i.e. the most beautiful dress ever}
Sadly, I won't be sharing any wedding dress pictures until after the wedding...
We stopped at a bakery and we tasted cake flavors!
My Madre and I went to taste cakes in December before he got home from his deployment. And when we were tasting the cakes, there was a cake flavor and a filling from another one that we really liked so we asked the bakery to create a new cake for us.
So Sweeter and I went and tasted the new flavor and since we were there I figured that we should try them all and we could pick our flavors then and there!
So we tasted cakes!
Wow!
It was amazing!
We loved it!
The bakery pretty much gives an entire piece of each flavor to try!
What?!
How delicious to they all look!!
Yummy!
We decided on 3 different flavors.
We also decided that cakes are ridiculously expensive and so we are going to have a small cake for display and to cut in to and the rest of them are going to be sheet cakes. This way it will be a little less expensive.
We decided that the cake that we cut in to will be a coconut cake with a coconut filling (the slice in the middle of the big plate that is right below the carrot cake) and the other 2 flavors will be in sheet cake form. We decided on a chocolatey and a not so chocolately :-) One will be the one my Madre and I had made {which is the single slice on the lone plate which} it is an almond cake with a chocolate/caramel filling and the other one is a red velvet cake with a hazelnut filling {the one next to the fork on the plate...the one that is most eaten :-)}
All of this is happening so quickly now!
I feel like we have been engaged for so long and we haven't had to rush anything and now all of a sudden we are less than 4 months away!
Yay!
This is all so exciting!
Invitations are on deck!
I can't wait to share when the designs are finalized!
I wish you all a Tip Top Tuesday!

Yum! I loved cake testing. It was so much fun...and good! Are you guys doing a grooms cake, or is that not really done up here?
That is exactly what we did at our wedding. Great idea!
I love the idea of a small display cake and then sheet cakes to serve from. :)
YAY for cake tasting. My fiance and I just recently had one, and were thinking of going with the small tier cake and then cupcakes for the guests! Sheet cakes are also a great idea! Your wedding is coming fast, how exciting!
im glad everything is coming together!! :)
Oh we have our cake tasting on Friday! yippee!
what fun :)
Justin and I did the same thing with the cake, ordered 1 to cut and 2 sheet cakes and we ended up with an entire sheet cake left over! Everyone got a piece and only 1 cake was eaten. Oops. It still saves a ton of money that way though.
How exciting! I bet that cake tasted soooo good!
