Let's talk about cake

Enough about designs and what the cake looks like for a few minutes. . .because we all know that we want to DIG IN the second after we cut it.

What is going to be IN the cake are you having?

FH and I are having ivory buttercream frosting with yellow cake. . .half of the cake is going to have cannoli cream with chips (DROOL) and the other half is going to have fresh strawberries in it.

And if you don't have a cake picked out yet, tell me what you ideally want in your cake.
Forgot to add that one.

okay ours sounds a little crazy but it's sooooo good and ends up being our wedding colors (purple and green)

inside the layers are green tea cake and ume (which is a purple yam) the ume one just tastes like vanilla but has a gorgeous purple color and the green tea is a very mild flavor (not bitter at all) the filling is a coconut meringue - the outside is vanilla buttercream covered in thin fondant

I would like red velvet with cream cheese, but that's not standard, so I'm sure we will end up with chocolate cake, half cannoli, half raspberry. I hate cake lol.

We're doing a red velvet with the cream cheese filling. The icing is a mix between the cream cheese and buttercream.

have picked the cake yet But I am old school I like yellow cake with chocolate frosting and red velvet or pure chocolate on chocolate!

this woman Judy at this small bakery in chinatown called silk road cakes is making it! she is the sweetest person ever and totally worked with us on design too

we'll be eating our cake in three days, yikes!!

it's almond cake with vanilla mouse and rasperry jam filling. outside is just ivory colored buttercream. yum, i love frosting!

i'm so excited about our cake:

it's going to be 5 tiers of the same fillings inside:

each tier will have three layers of fillings and almond vanilla flavored cake. starting from the bottom filling up: it's a chocolate almond croquant, then a dolci de leche middle and then a vanilla almond croquant. so we get this really cool visual effect of dark to light within the tier. and can i tell you how amazing they taste! i LOVE our cake!!! oh, the outside will be a vanilla buttercream that's so light and amazing. omg i hate that i'm on ww right now!! drool!!
