Have Some Cake

February 22nd, 2008 @ 8:26 am by Mrs. Gardenia

Since my long hiatus away, I’ve been catching up and was excited to read Miss Donut’s blog about her Martha Stewart inspired wedding cake. I immediately loved that cake and remembered tearing off that page in the Martha Stewart magazine when it first came out. I knew that it was something that was gonna work for us since our main color was sage green. During our cake tasting, I took the picture along with the monogram that one of our groomsmen designed for us to our baker, Rockwell’s Bakery in Orange. We were so excited to see the end result so as soon as we walked in to our ballroom, our eyes took us to the cake.



The cake was a 4-tier masterpiece with different flavors for the first 3 tiers. We had white cake with a strawberry mousse, marble cake with chocolate ganache and a red velvet cake with a cream cheese frosting. We were lucky enough to try all 3 flavors and loved every bite. The hydrangeas that filled each tier were provided by our florist. The best part of our cake is that we get a free cake on our 1 year anniversary from our baker as a thank you. No need for frozen wedding cake in 2009!

Jen: I’m not certain but i know the dividers were at least 2-3 inches apart. We didnt have to provide any measurements since we just took our inspiration picture to the baker and they ran with it.

saraka: congrats on booking black gold. they’re great and so is the on site coordinator. that cake was included in our package so we didn’t have to pay anything extra to rockwell’s. also, when you go for your tasting - they usually don’t bring out all of the flavors like the red velvet so if you’re interested, you should ask.
