Last night Mr. Pineapple and I traveled to Plum, PA to meet our baker at Jennuine Cakes and Cafe. We did not know quite what to expect because the cake was included in our venue/catering package. We were pleasantly surprised, the cafe was adorable and the cake was delicious!

No wimpy tasting portions for us! Sweet. The chocolate one is well… chocolate with chocolate ganache and chocolate butter cream. The white is vanilla with strawberry filling and butter cream.
When we got there I told Mr. Pineapple “I’m going to let you decide if that’s okay with you.” It was, so vanilla with strawberry it is! That was easy.As far as what the cake will look like it will be something like this (click to enlarge):

The butter cream will be a champagne color similar to the cake on the left. It will be decorated in white swiss dots like the cake in the center. Finally, it will be topped with a big white clay peony made by DK Designs Hawaii. I wasn’t particularly excited about the cake until meeting with the baker. Now though, I cannot wait to see the final product. I think it will be perfect for our wedding - sort of traditional, sort of modern and of course the clay flower.

What will your cake look like?
