One of the best perks of planning a wedding is getting to taste some mighty yummy cakes. Never walk into a bakery and think you could talk to someone about ordering a wedding cake. Were you born in the dark ages? One must call and make an appointment.
Once the appointment is made, you and your daughter and I suppose anyone else who has a sweet tooth could come to this appointment. Again, the surroundings are beautiful. The table is set with white linen and fabulous looking cakes fill the perimeter. You are seated and handed some books. Flipping through the books and gazing at the photos your heart soars. These are works of art. Then the baker discusses cakes....pound cake, layer cake, cheese cake. Cakes come in different flavors...lemon, vanilla, white chocolate, lavender, carrot and red velvet to name a few. Next come the fillings...hazelnut, mouse, ganache, praline and raspberry. Please. Your mouth starts to water and your imagination runs rampant with possibilities. Fondant or buttercream? Drum roll please. Next come the little white plates. Each one is covered in a wildly delicious confection. Oh it is so hard to decide. Then there is the decoration and the topper. And you thought this would be easy....So you are full and happy and a decision has been made. You are then handed an estimate. I swear it is higher that the cost of my first car. Don't be crass, just write the check.
