A Little Slice of Heaven

A Little Slice of Heaven :  wedding cake Rob St rob_st_

This post is dedicated to cake, sweet cake. I LOVE wedding cakes. Not necessarily what’s inside (I don’t really like cake, more on that later), but the beautiful, delicate, gorgeous outside. Needless to say, as soon as the FI and I were engaged, the cake hunt had begun. I scoured pages and pages of wedding cakes before we chose “the one”. Here are a few of my favorites:

Can you guess which one we chose?

@Ms Potato Chips: How did you know?! The guy on top is so “Lumber Jack Chic”, which is exactly what we’re going for! ;)

I think macaroons might win out.

I would totally do the unfrosted one - so cute, and I hate frosting! I perennially love the Martha one, too. :)

I’d have to say either the Square tiers, with regal scroll work or the Martha one. These are all pretty cool!

I love the unfrosted one! That is totally awesome, because frosting gets all over EVERYTHING! You could even have a “dress the cake” buffet with a bunch of different toppings/ frostings for those who would not *dare* to eat cake dry.
