Last week, Mr. CC and I went to the bakery to taste cake (yum!) and picked out designs and whatnot for our cupcakes. I’m a bad blogger and didn’t take a single picture. However, we were only there for about 20 minutes.

Since we decided on cupcakes, and I felt stupid cutting a tiny cupcake, we decided to get a 6 inch cutting cake. But, I forgot to decide what it was going to look like.

Y’all probably don’t know this about me yet, but I’m a total fiber snob. Since textiles are my medium of choice, I swoon over silks, cottons, linens, and other natural fibers. My skin actually crawls when I just think about polyester. Blech. So… what does that have to do with cake?

I found these great cakes inspired by fabrics on Martha a while ago, and then they showed up in my email box today.

I totally heart the eyelet cake and the crewelwork cake. They are both so simple and pretty. But which should we choose? We’re going for a subtle vintage theme.

Oh, and we picked out three different kinds of cupcakes, red velvet with cream cheese frosting, vanilla with dark chocolate, and chocolate with buttercream. We told the baker we wanted the buttercream to be a pale pink, but with the brown icing on the vanilla, and I’m thinking that might look a little weird. It would be a different story if our colors with chocolate and pink. Do you think we should go back and either get rid of the chocolate, and have all the frosting pink, or just leave the buttercream an ivory color?

Here’s what we want them to look like, except without the little flower.
