Cake.
Update - Cake Design.
OMG - Sunisa really nailed it! I love what she did with the icing - it looks so great! She took pieces of the design from our STD and incorporated the roses that I had asked for. I am blown away. It looked so awesome in person. The only change we have is regarding the heart. Chris asked her to make it a sacred heart. We are also going to have the roses on 3 sides of the first tier, and the little yellow diamond thingys along the sides of the bottom tier.
Seriously, I think our cake will rock. Sunisa rocks. :D
*Please ignore the broken piece on the roses - oops! FMIL was excited. ;)
Update - Cake Tasting.
We were able to try 4 flavors:
- White cake with Lilikoi filling w/vanilla buttercream
- Red Velvet w/white buttercream
- White w/vanilla buttercream
- Chocolate w/vanilla buttercream
Chris really liked the chocolate since it wasn’t too sweet. Though the lilikoi was delicious! I didn’t think I was going to like that sample, but it was a perfect balance between the cake and the sweet filling. Since we are going to have a two-tier, I think we are going to go with the chocolate and the poundcake. I had tried the poundcake at the July expo, and I still dream about it! Now all we do is wait to see what she is going to sketch out for us. She seemed to be very excited to work on the design. Hopefully we will like what she comes up with so we can check another thing off the list!
Design Inspiration.
Below are some inspiration images for our cake design. We know for sure that it will be a 2-tier square cake.
