Today my mom and I met with the lady who will be making my wedding cake! Her name is Paulette Heguilustoy and she has been making cakes for many years here in town. She works out of her home and is the sweetest lady! She is giving us such a good deal for a cake that I know will look and taste amazing!
I had never really given much thought to what my cake would look like, other than the fact that it had to have buttercream icing and actual white cake in the middle. So, I guess you could say I wasn't THAT picky! I also did not want to spend an obscene amount of money on the cake because it will, of course, be eaten! With all of these factors in mind, I decided to meet with Paulette because she has a long history with my family of making all our cakes for large events! Not to mention her cakes also taste absolutely great!
After viewing many pictures of Paulette's gorgeous work, I decided to go with a 3 tier cake(14"-10"-6"). We will not be serving from the top layer because we will be saving that :) There will also be sheets of cake because the tiers we will actually be serving from only serve to about 140 people total, and we have an estimated guest list of 200. Having the sheets of cake really help in cutting cost.
Paulette is known for her fabulous decorative floral work on the cake. She uses fresh flowers all over the cake and on the cake table as well. The top of the cake will have the initial "B" cake topper, along with light green or white hydrangeas mixed with little flowers that match the bright colors of our wedding. For every ledge of the tiers of the cake, there will be rose petals filling them. These will most likely be fuschia pink rose petals. She is also mixing in the blues and purples with mini gerber daisies and delphiniums. It's going to be beautiful!
The inside of the cake will be white with buttercream icing as the filling in the layer! So delicious!
I never thought I would be this excited about my cake, but I so am! Throughout the whole meeting, I just wanted to have a bite of cake! Can't wait for you all to taste it!

Next on the agenda is meeting with florists. Paulette recommended a few that sound reasonable and do great work!
We are also going to be scheduling a meeting with Mossman's for catering and will be dropping off the deposit for our photographer (Amanda Frank @ Frankly Yours) soon! Yay!
