Mr. Poodle’s mom “B” has been so helpful and supportive in this “sometimes kind of weird” planning process. I think I would still be Googling every wedding-related term if it weren’t for the fact that the day after Mr. Poodle told his family we were getting married, she sent me:

• The Wedding Book by Mindy Weiss and Lisbeth Levine
• Tons of bridal magazines (yay!). Those are actually the only ones I have.

Anyway, on my last trip to California, long before Mr. Poodle and I thought about getting married, I saw that B had a really cute photo album with tons of wedding cake pictures in it. I was very surprised that she actually baked them and was REALLY impressed with every cake she has in her album portfolio (I think I should make her a webpage portfolio soon, because she’s amazing! What do you think B?).

So the first image that popped in my head when I first thought about cakes was, of course, HER album!! And Mr. Poodle had wanted to ask her to bake the cake, so it was perfect!!!

I know how great she is, so I wasn’t even worried about looking at cake pictures, plus lately I’ve been  focusing on trying to finish the cake topper. But last night I thought to myself, ‘Hey!! Come on Miss Poodle… you need to at least give her ideas!’

I know I would love whatever she makes, but I just don’t want her to be mad at me because I’m leaving everything up to her!

So here’s my inspiration wedding cakes:

OK, so this one is not one my favorites as a cake - I want something more rustic. But I loved the firefighter ♥ (in case you don’t know, that’s Mr. Poodle’s job). I really loved the cakes from Pink Cake Box. They have a great gallery.

Now this one I had to post just because it has climbers!!! But in our case, I would rather have a normal cake with just the toppers.

Now lets focus on the cakes, not the toppers . I’ve been researching rustic cakes. The first thing I noticed was that cigars are HOT in the wedding cake industry now, and… I LIKE IT!!

But, I’m afraid it can turn in to a “too dramatic” cake, because there’s going to be so much going on, with the cigars and Mr. Poodle climbing there with me on the top. So, I looked for nice, softer textures.

And some plain cakes too, with lil’ blossoms (just like my origami ones… yay!). These are awesome.

What about a purple cake??? Too cute!

I was just kidding with that last one. I don’t want a purple cake, just purple details!
