I can barely contain myself…tomorrow we have our cake tasting!!! I can’t wait to see what amazing flavours we’ll get to try. I was reading through our baker’s 2011 wedding-cake flavours, and they all sound so amazing. Chocolate raspberry…double chocolate…pumpkin Philly…red velvet (my personal favourite)…raspberry tuxedo…vanilla passion fruit…and that is only a handful of the flavours she makes!

In preparation for our tasting, I’ve been scouring pictures of cakes so we can not only talk about how our cake will taste, but also about how it will look. Here are a few of my favourites!

I really like the tall proportions of the layers in this cake. Plus the white texture and “buttons” running up and down are adorable!

Once again, I love the white-on-white texture of this cake that I found on Style Me Pretty. It is so simple and gorgeous!

And finally, I really love this cake! It is on a very similar ruffled milk-glass cake stand to the one we’ll be using. I really like how the cake has a hobnail texture that echoes the hobnails on the cake stand. So pretty!

I can’t wait to taste everything and to share the inspiration photos that I’ve gathered so far. Hopefully our baker will be inspired, too!

Were you deliriously excited about tasting cake?

Mmmm. The flavors sound delicious and these cakes look beautiful! We’ve yet to have a cake-tasting—but I seriously look forward to it.

White textured cakes like this are my fav! Have you seen Jenna Bush’s cakes?

I have been to a few bridal shows and tasted some amazing cake. My wedding is just over a year away, but I still cannot wait to pick out our cake and see what else those bakers can do I love the middle cake in your choices.

Are you getting your cake made by Sweet Thea? I know she does the cakes for Brock House a lot. They are TO DIE FOR. She is doing our cake and, seriously, I think I’m more excited to eat the cake than anything else! Chocolate Raspberry and Passionfruit are our 2 flavours

Love, love, love these! I’ve spent a year and a half on wedding websites and have never been so excited about a cake post!

I love all the pretty texture. I think white on white cakes are gorgeous and classic and can be a very modern or vintage choice depending on the texture chosen. I can’t wait to see what you choose.
