Yummm, Cake!

I've been on and off the couch all day trying to ease the ache of this head cold I'm dealing with. And nothing really helps, but I figure cake always makes me feel better.

So why not post about our wedding cake vision?

We are having a far-from traditional reception. To go along with this theme (and to save some money on the way) we have decided to forgo a large wedding cake for all guests and have three small cakes instead.

We have a nice dessert selection through our caterer and hope too many guests don't notice the missing piece of cake at their spot. However, family and out-of-town guests are welcome to enjoy a slice at the Sunday brunch.

So what are we thinking?

Beautiful pedestals, like this one.

Different tiers

We are doing three different one-tier cakes with three sizes around, all the same batter and filling. Here are our inspirations!

And our favorite! This will be the 8 inch cake.

I can't wait to see the final cakes. And by the way, my pastry chef, Francie at Encore Bakery, is so sweet. Her smaller cakes are extremely reasonable and the taste test was divine. If you are looking for a cake or have a sweet tooth on a cloudy day, give her a call.
