On Sunday, Kevin and I drove out to Middleburg to pick our wedding cake. We had set up the appointment back in November, at which point we had selected three cake flavors to try. The chef told us that there would probably be 3-5 flavors available in addition to what we chose, and I assumed that would include some chocolate. So for our three we picked one chocolate and two non-chocolate flavors.
It turns out that every group coming in gets to pick 3 flavors, and then everyone is able to taste all of the flavors that everyone else picked. And of the nine cakes we were able to sample, the only chocolate was the one I'd chosen. Since I basically knew what I wanted, it was good that Kevin had so many options to choose from.
As he was serving us the cakes, the chef warned me that I'd picked the richest chocolate cake on the menu and there were plenty of ways to lighten it up. As if I hadn't picked it on purpose.
We settled on a second flavor and then went through all the options of designing the cake. It turns out there's a whole lot that goes into this: frosting flavors, tier shapes, decorations, real or sugar flowers, colors. We figured it all out, though, so that's one more thing to check off the list. Plus, we now have a bunch of leftover cake samples to enjoy.
