Our Wedding- The Cake

Okay, let me take a deep breath... {sigh} This is definitely one post that I have been dreading! I was so unhappy with our wedding cake. I went to a reputable baker who has been nominated on The Knot and felt confident! I took in this picture and explained how I would like it to look like bark..etc.. yet I wanted a very simple and organic look. When I saw the cake I was ready to cry....my wedding planner said she loved it..and how simple it was...how it fit the venue... but in all honestly it isn't what I wanted! I wanted folds of the icing...over lapping...not stripes!






On a lighter note, it tasted amazing! Each slice served was half lemon, half vanilla. Many compliments on how light and delicious it was! In fact, the left overs were gone within 2 days after the wedding.


I really like this picture below...too cute!




I like this picture just because it's taken by a unique perspective...

So, I am in major need of sweet comments and reassurance that people forget what the cake looks like and all that is important is our marriage :) You know what would really make me feel better? Is some sneak peeks of our TTD session to be posted over at Hazelnut Photography's blog!

to be honest, from far away (the first picture) it DOES look like your inspiration picture. however, i can totally tell (now that you mention it!) that it didn't have the bark texture that you wanted. Long story short, even though it wasnt 100% what you wanted, its still a beautiful cake! :) such great pictures too! :)

I agree with Jessica Lynn too! And I'm pretty sure your guests didn't notice anything except how happy you both look :) Also, from my wedding guest experience I remember what the cake tastes like, not what it really looks like and it sounds like your guests remember a delicious cake! :)

I had so many issues of things looking absolutely beautiful (according to everyone attending) that just weren't what I had wanted. I hate that it bugs me, but when you've got something in mind it's hard to be as in love with it when it wasn't what you pictured. It looks yummy!
