CAKE!

Last week we hosted our very own wedding cake tasting shindig.

Megan brought some pictures of cakes she liked that she found online to show our cake lady, Laurie.
And Laurie brought along this lil' guy, a cake. I forgot the specifics on it. White cake with a lemon custard and raspberry preserves?

It had a thin layer of fondant that was sprayed with orange zest. I think. I didn't take notes, just photos.

But I'm pretty sure it was a hit with ladies, especially since that cake will be one of our tiers.

After the main cake we moved onto a variety of other flavors. German chocolate, fudge, white, spice, and swirl.


And a whole mess of toppings to choose from. In the end, we chose three different combinations for our cake. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a surprise. Is it? I'll check with Megan on that one.

After a bit of discussion, Laurie did some drawing --


And came up with this --

So our cake should look roughly something that. Square cake, round cake, repeat until you reach the top.

To end the evening we made our cake, the best kind of them all --

One with sausage, peppers, and cheese.

Thanks ladies for coming over to help with the cake tasting!
