Mrs. Meerkat's Picture
Mrs. Meerkat, Kalamazoo, MI/Riviera Maya Age and Occupation: 30, Application Engineer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, IT Consultant Engagement Date: July 26, 2008 Wedding Date: December 2010 Venue: Al Cielo / La Laguna About Me: I’m a tech-savvy tomboy with an affinity for hot tea and good sushi. Us Meerkats are just a couple fun lovin’ geeks from Michigan. We love anything having to do with movies, books, video games or technology and we hold a special place in our hearts for our two very spoiled shih-tzus, Wicket and Bravo. We also LOVE to travel. We love it so much it only took us 12 hours after we got engaged to decide to have a destination wedding. We are working our little Meerkat tails off planning a rustic-chic, travel themed destination wedding in the Riviera Maya with a semi-formal, vintage-turned-modern, outdoor at home reception back here in Michigan.
About Mrs. Meerkat

With our epic fail into the wedding cake world, we started to look around at ideas for more traditional cakes. We found out pretty quickly that we both loved little fondant flowers on cakes.

While those are simple and beautiful there was one cake that we both just stopped and said, “yep that’s the one!”

Weddingbee - Mrs. Emerald

Yes we fell in LOVE with Mrs. Emerald’s cake (among like a million other things in her wedding). Those little flowers streaming down the side are the perfect mix of simple and modern. *swoon*

So while we made the decision to have a two layer version of Mrs. Emerald’s cake made and use our Indy cake topper with it, there was still something missing. It just wasn’t completely “us” yet. We finally figured out what it was. Two furry little members of our family were missing from it; Wicket and Bravo. We HAD to add them to the cake. I sent photos of our boys to Clay Greys on Etsy and she created two little status of them.

I *heart* these so much! The coloring and markings are identical to Wicket and Bravo. Now our boys can play a part in our wedding day.

Did anyone else have a much trouble finalizing their cake as we did?

@HoneyBear: Don’t worry the resorts actually have some great chefs. :D They did give us the option to bring in an outside cake but we have talked to other brides who said the cake was great so we didn’t bother.

If you are really worried contact the coordinators and ask what your options are for cakes. They usually have some examples that they can send you.
