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!
