Sweet Things

Wedding cake . . .check! Tonight was a success with the cake tasting we did with Sweet Things Gourmet Treats out of Belleville. We requested a pumpkin cake and tasted two versions, one with a caramel filling and one with a cream cheese filling. Both were delicious but the caramel was our favorite! It was the first time they had a request for pumpkin cake so they experimented with the fillings and nailed it! Now they will remember us as a first for them so that's kind of cool. We also tried red velvet with cream cheese filling and it was ok but didn't blow us away. Then we had chocolate with mocah filling, french vanilla with homemade raspberry filling and french vanilla with strawberry filling. I knew we wanted a variety of flavors so here is what we ended up with:

Pumpkin with caramel
Pumpkin with cream cheese
French vanilla with raspberry
Chocolate with raspberry
Marble with fudge

Then we had to decide if we wanted a traditional tiered cake or individual cakes of different sizes. Why decide, go with both, right? So, we are doing a small square, 3-tier cake with a smooth finish, blue and silver ribbon trim around each tier, and our monogram on the middle layer. For the individual cakes, we will have 8" and 10" round and square with what I call a scroll design on them. I'm super excited about our choice of flavors and the design of all of them.

Next, and last on the list of bookings, the florist. I am meeting with Walter Knoll for the second time on Thursday and will probably sign the contract with them. Wish me luck!
