I accidentally wrote “vake” instead of “cake” in the title of this post, but I think it’s funny so I’m keeping it.

Anyway, we had a meeting with a baker today (the fabulous Jamie of DeLuxe bakery, which sadly does not have a website). She’s about our age, and she seems very cool and hip. She also seemed very enthusiastic about making a nontraditional (aka non-boring) wedding cake for us. We showed her some pictures from magazines of cakes we liked, and we looked through her portfolio, and we came up with some ideas. There was one cake that we really liked and she thought she could do well, so I think that’s what we’re going to go with. The picture shows it with apples and green dots; I think we’re going to use peaches (to make it more in-tune with our late summer wedding) and yellow dots.

Original picture from magazine:

How Photoshop and I think/hope it will come out for us (only, y’know, consistently lit):

Yippee! I’m excited. Plus, we got to taste her cakes, and they are absolutely delicious, none of that sugar-bomb sawdust stuff that you often encounter in wedding cakes. They’re really moist and tasty. I think we’re going to have two flavors combinations: it will be half almond-apricot with white chocolate mousse filling, and the other half will be chocolate with milk chocolate mousse and raspberry filling.

Oh, man, now I’m getting married for sure, if I get to eat that cake.
