As is pretty traditional in Southern weddings, we had two cakes at our reception. The traditional wedding cake and a chocolate groom’s cake.
The travel cake consisted of 3 tiers white chocolate with raspberry filling, white chocolate with apricot filling, and strawberry cake with strawberry filling. It was topped off with our little luggage bags.
Our cake stands were set up a little different then what I pictured, but I loved how they added to the look of the cakes! I was amazed at how on point our baker was with our inspiration for the travel cake and for Mr. E’s German chocolate with Dulce de leche filling gamer’s cake.
The groom’s cake was topped with Rice Krispies shaped controllers so our personalized cake topper looked on from the side.
Our toasting flutes and serving set were in place and ready for us.
Thanks to Lynn’s direction we were ready to dive in.

Did you notice it? That is Mr. E’s piece of cake to feed me falling to the floor. We all had a good laugh and he went for try #2, this time with a hand out to catch any runaway cake.
After sampling the first cake, it was time to snatch up a couple of double dipped strawberries that surrounded the groom’s cake.
True to his gamer nature, Mr. E decided that our cake cutting experience wouldn’t be complete without a bite from the Wii remote before aiming it at the crowd. Our guests loved this!
I couldn’t pass up a bite as well.
We finished up with a toast and a kiss.
Next up, some touching words from our friends.
Are there any brides out there that got to enjoy more cake than the piece you ate during the cake cutting?

your cake tables are amazing. The linens are amazing!
I WISH we’d gotten more than just the bite! But we more than made up for it as soon as we got back from the honeymoon and thawed our toppers! The cakes look amazing!

I know this is totally unrelated to cakes - but I have to say that dress is SO flattering on you! I love it!!!
Your cakes are so fun! I’m tempted to tell someone I want to save the top tier just so I can gobble up cake all by myself!
Kick-ass cakes!! And I really like the linens on the cake tables, totally different!
@Mrs. Starfish: @Mrs. Trail Mix: Thanks! I was really happy that our planner suggested doing something different with the linens for the cakes tables and our sweetheart table. The pop of color made me happy 
@Miss High Wire: Thank you!! I wasn’t big on dress shopping, but I did love that dress.
@Miss Pony: Or have someone save some pieces and put them in your room! Our planner had pieces in our room with strawberries and champagne when the wedding was over.
Love the cake!! I just want to eat your Wii remote now (its only 8am here, thats ok right?)!
We did, but only because I had several friends who had complained they never had cake at their own wedding. I assigned my maid of honor to put a couple pieces on our table so husband and I could have some of the delicious cake!
I looooove the linens on your cake table- where did you get them?
Beautiful wedding! Those shades compliment each other perfectly and really pop against each other… I love love love this (even though I’m using pinks lol)!
YAY!! I’ve been waiting to see your cake table for a long time! When I saw your inspiration, I was in love and wondered how it turned out. Everything looks beautiful, and those cakes are so adorable!!
@heather5743: Thanks!! I was so excited that they were so close to our inspiration.
Your cake table is beautiful, and the confections look so delicious. I’d be all over those rice krispie controllers!
Beautiful reception! Love the vibrant colors too! Where did you order your cocktail napkins from? They look like great quality!
@Natalie: Thanks! I ordered them from theKnot online store.
