i think choosing our wedding cake was probably my favorite part of planning our wedding! i decided pretty quickly what i wanted. i found a picture of a cake in "the knot" bridal magazine that i really liked (with just a few modifications).
(photo from the knot magazine)
i sketched a rough design in microsoft paint (ha-ha) of what i wanted. the topper was the chinese double happiness symbol. each tier had swiss dots (3 small dots of icing in the shape of a triangle) and a skinny sage green ribbon tied around the tier with a bow in the front. and in between the bottom and the 2nd tier would be green hydrangeas (our main flower in our bouquets and center pieces). lastly, each tier would have a fondant band wrapped around the edge. reminder: this is a very rough sketch...
i was obviously not going to be able to make my own cake, but i did want to attempt making it myself! my co-workers were so nice to throw steve and i a shower a month or so before our wedding, so i offered to make the cake for the shower! i did a 1 tier version of our cake...
not bad, but nothing like the real thing! the cake was made by knodels bakery...

and feeding each other (we were clean)...the cake was very delicious!!...
