Last weekend we went to Raleigh and set the menu (delish!), met the DJ and did our cake tasting! Swank Cake is so awesome - they send you home with the cake tasting to-go box so you can enjoy it at home, instead of the pressure of doing it in the store in front of the bakers. Swank offers 6 kinds of cakes and 16 kinds of icing and fillings! And since we chose a square cake, each tier will be 4 layers of cake, 3 layers of filling. For a 3 tier cake, that is 15925248 permutations of cake and filling options (check that Rebecca!). For you non-math folks, it was heck of a lot of options and it was really hard to decide. But we decided on:
- Red velvet with cream cheese icing for the bottom (biggest) layer
- Chocolate cake with 2 layers of chocolate mousse, 1 layer raspberry filling for the middle layer
- And a white cake with a lemon mousse for the top, for a lighter choice!
They were all delicious, but we thought these would cover all the cake bases!
Since then, we've gotten about half of our save the dates labeled and ready to be mailed! I think its absurd that I'm sending STD's 3 months before the wedding, but since we've printed them already, we might as well send them. At least that's what Jason tells me in order to keep me sane.
I'll post the full save the dates later, but here is a sneak peak ... this is the photo we used on the front! (from the fabulous Cheyenne!)
And in other news, we finally joined a small group at Buckhead Church!! Yay! I am so excited to get involved. I really want to meet more people (couples!) in the Atlanta area and have never been in a Bible study group before. Everyone in our group has been married 3 years or less, so I think its going to be a great place for us to start!
Have a great week!
yummmm cake!
