Wedding Recaps - The Cake

Remember me telling you about how my mom's friend offered to make our cakes for our wedding gift?

And how we'd met for lunch and I'd shared my cake inspiration with her?

Well... she did a better job on our wedding cakes than I could ever have imagined!!!

They were perfect for us!

The wedding cake. 

It was hot in the clubhouse and some of the daisies "wilted" a little.

Mr. M's groom's cake. 

I so love that topper!!! It's a decoration in our kitchen now! 

{Roping topper purchased here.}

She also made an extra sheet cake, to be sure to have enough cake for everyone using our engagement picture replicating our Cherished cake topper (above). 

LOVE the barbwire around the edges of the cakes! :) 

And all the little details she added really. Thanks so much Lynda!!! 

Mr. M and I cutting the cake. 

This was right before Mr. M takes a piece... 

Smells it, then tells me, "This smells funny."

I just laughed it off, but he acted like he was serious and kept saying it...

You know where this is going right?

So I fell for it... I "smelled" the cake... and had it shoved in my FACE! hahahaha!!!

But I got him back! 

That one cracks me up... 

See Taylor in the background snapping away with one of the disposable cameras from the tables?? 

Too funny. 

{Purchased disposable cameras from here.}

And the cake aftermath... hahaha. 

:) What about you?? 

Did you or do you plan on the whole cake in the face thing?

We didn't plan on it... It just happened. :)

But it was fun!

Lunch with the Cake Lady

Remember I mentioned sometime back that my mom's friend has volunteered to make our cakes for our wedding gift?! SCORE, right?!?

Well... I have lunch with her today to talk about what we want and what she can do...

I've shared some cake inspiration before, but my idea of what I want has evolved some.

She asked that I bring a few pictures of what I want/like, so I made up a little print out to take with me...

Thought I'd share it with you all here first... haha!

So here it is, the REAL inspiration for our wedding cake and grooms cake.

All pictures gathered from various online sources. Sources can be found on my Wedding Cakes Pinboard on Pinterest

• Top left is our wedding cake topper, Cherished Statuette
• Top right is the groom's cake topper, befitting a team roper :)
• Middle left, I LOVE the clean square tiers and turquoise ribbon
• Middle right, I LOVE the texture on that one... Would want white icing though
• Bottom left, the rope piping would be good for the grooms cake
• Bottom middle, team roping grooms cake
• Bottom right, our wedding colors, just in case
  
  The only stipulations Mr. M has as far as cake goes is that his favorite is white cake with white icing. Or maybe even lemon cake with white icing. He DOES not like chocolate cake or chocolate icing... So no traditional chocolate grooms cake for him...
  But that's ok. :)
  He won't be coming to the lunch, because he's working today... And he doesn't really care to go... haha. But that's ok too!
  
  So, what do you think?
  Surprised out how my cake inspiration evolved from this to this post?
  
  I'm SUPER excited to meet with her today and talk wedding cake!
  
  Have a lovely day friends!

Wedding Cake Inspiration

The Cake.

It's kind of a big deal.

It has it's own time for crying out loud!

At every wedding I've EVER been to, they always say,

"It's time to cute THE cake!"

Hmm... Yep, maybe I should start thinking about that.

That's my EXACT cake topper!

Already been purchased.

It was the very first thing I bought for the wedding.

It's a replica of the "Cherished" statue.

Cute, I think! And it fits us.

Mr. M even helped pick it out.

I like the texture of that white cake in the middle.

Screams dreamy wedding day.

I kind of like square cake layers too... Or a combo of round and square...

You know, mix it up a little.

Pink dots are always fun!

We WILL have a groom's cake!!

Mr. M says, "Why can't I just eat YOUR cake?"

That's not the point!

Think I've found the perfect groom's cake topper too.
Post on that later.

It won't be a Superman cake. But it will be a Mr. M cake.

That IS the point!

What was your cake inspiration?
