Denise...are you going to use Dortoni's as your baker? I must be honest...I didn't read all the posts just looked at the pics (which some I saved in my Wedding file!). Does Dortoni's make some of the cakes you are thinking about? I adore them!!!
Side note.......my sister used to make me line up outside Dortoni's at 3 am on Easter Sunday so I'd get the freshest Italian bread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
no i am not using dortoni's...i know its JT's cake vendor but not sure if they'll be able to do what i want. I looked at their site and didn't see cakes similar to the ones i want.
JMO...I'd make an appointment to talk to them and see their own pics. When I saw my bakerys website I was petrified, then we went to the bakery and saw what was walking out of them place and our minds were at ease!
What other places are you looking at? I tried to look at Charm City Cakes (Ace of Cakes on Food Network) by the time I looked at them 6 months ago they said that they had stopped taking orders for my wedding weekend....
well i was going to check out colette peters but i procrastinated and you have to book at least 6 months in advance and now im screwed hahaha.
Yeah i guess i can check them out but regardless i would have to pay dortoni's bc it wouldnt be part of the cakes JT offers. From what i know alot of bakeries can't do more of the unique fondant cake shapes. In long island the other place besides the one i am going to check out is audreys, i was gonna go to audreys but i found somebody else who i think can do what we want. Ill tell FH to stop by dortoni's maybe to double check
but YEAH all those big named cake designers get booked far in advance, you have to book at least 6 months...the guy im going to just won a foodnetwork cake competition, it airs in march so yeah i am going NOW before his name gets big and his prices go up lol
Did Jay win a Food Network Challenge??? If that is who you are talking about...his work is amazing!!! After seeing Jess' grooms cake, Audrey's has my vote!!! I swear that jersey looked incredibly real! Either way good luck on the baker hunt...I must admit I was blessed with my RH's vendors!!!
wow those cakes are AWESOME. i haven't even thought about this yet. Um, how much are cakes if you upgrade?
i don't think i want fondant icing though which kind of stinks b/c those are the really nice looking ones.

i am soooo jealous! i love crazy cakes that aren't symmetrical and that are mad hatterish.....they are my favorite!!
there is no way possible way we'll have money to upgrade the cake - so we'll have to stick with one of the JT cakes....
i will just have to live vicariously through you denise
i shouldn't be getting it either
i was going to let it go but fh is the one who said to go this weekend. Everything so far for the wedding we have paid in cash, so i figure if we put this on a CC it wont be that bad...also if you want i can tell you how to save on a fondant cake.
