The Wedding Cake

Sorry I've been so slow in updating this, but Zach and I don't have internet at our apartment yet, so I have to wait until I can get to a place with free wireless before doing anything. Here's a little bit about the cake we are getting designed. Enjoy!

We decided to go with Donna at Sedona Sweet Arts for our wedding cake. Donna really loves making sugar art and usually makes flowers for cakes, but I think we were able to challenge her with something a little different. When we first got to the bakery we sampled some of her cakes and almost immediately decided on carrot cake (Zach's favorite) for half of the cake and then chocolate mousse (my favorite) for the other half of the cake. The carrot cake half will have cream cheese icing while the chocolate half will have a chocolate mousse filling and both will have a thin layer of buttercream on the outside for decoration.

The cake is going to be relatively simple with a tuscan finish with ivory frosting on the outsite. And the most extravagant part will be the topper, which will be a bride and groom cactus. You can probably get a better idea from the pictures below. The first one is an example of what the tuscan texture will look like, except that ours will be ivory and won't have flowers. The second picture is what the topper will look like, and Donna is going to make that part entirely out of sugar.
