Let Them Eat Cake… And Brownies

Mmmm, cake. I have to say that I have a serious soft spot for really good wedding cake. Sadly, there has not been nor shall there be a cake tasting for us. We’ve had to go on reputation and word of mouth to find our cake baker and the fabulous Edna of Edna’s Cake Creations and Confections comes highly recommended. Our wedding cake will be a simple 3 or 4 tiers based on these designs:

I think that these two little cranes will look very pretty
nestled in the flowers on the top tier. Sorry about the subpar pic.
I’m still thinking about flavors. If it’s just 3 tiers, I’m seriously considering simple French Vanilla cake with old fashioned buttercream frosting. I think it’s a flavor that most people will like and I might kick it up a notch with optional fresh strawberries served on the side. If it works out that we need 4 tiers, I might alternate French Vanilla and Red Velvet cake with a yummy cream cheese frosting filling.
Mr. Donut is not so crazy about cake. He’s much more of a brownie guy. Instead of a groom’s cake, he’s asked me to make his favorite brownies. I’d been trying to think of a way to display the “cake” until I stumbled across this pic from the latest issue of Martha Stewart Weddings.
Pretty + Yummy = PERFECT!

About Me: I am a displaced Southern belle trying to orchestrate our big day with my sweetie while living in a land far far away. When not planning for our classic Southern celebration, I love to read, travel, explore my artistic side, and bake brownies for Mr. Donut, who happens to love eating them. It works out well.
That martha stewart cake is retty cool. I haven’t seen anything like it. Thanks for sharing.
I wish our baker was a bit more experienced with decorating. We’re hoping to excite people with taste over decorations…we’re going for a champagne cake with whipped cream, fresh strawberry frosting and a dark chocolate cake with irish cream frosting.
