Cake and a dandy little topper

So we went on 3 cake tastings yesterday. 2 were automatically out b/c their cake was not yummy and they weren’t comfortable making the style of cake we were wanting. But then we fell in love…

I give you….

Honey’s Cakes by Nancy Cortez

Her butter cream frosting was amazing! It was so light and delicious… and all her flavors were to scrumdidily umptious 🙂

Plus she can design like nobody’s business. She spent and hour and a half with us design an amazing 5 tier wedding cake that was a hybrid between these cakes….

We picked two tiers of banana and creme cheese, two of italian creme with raspberry mousse, and one with mandarin and pineapple filling for mom 🙂

Then we selected a grooms cake featuring chocolate with strawberries and creme that looks like the bottom two tiers of this one…

Add in two sheet cakes that will match each cake in design and flavor and we have all our cake for $900 with tax and delivery. We are so happy but we do have one more tasting on the 27th. At that point we will decide between the two and book before March.

Plus we finally found and bought our cake topper!

I was parousing through the premiere issue of Get Married magazine when I saw these adorable lovelies…

Not only were they only $16 but they are salt & pepper shakers so they don’t even count as a wedding expense since we will use them at home later. Score! And if they are too noticable, I can always cover the holes with a little veil and top hat 😀

What cake finds have you guys had?
