Our Cakes

Hi ya'll!!! I am some very exciting pictures to show you some pictures of my cake. I have been jumping for joy every since Saturday night about these pictures. We meet with our cake lady about a month ago and we designed our cakes (bride and grooms cake). When i went in to meet her I had an idea in my head of what i wanted my cake to look like and a couple of different pictures with just parts out of the picture i really loved. So When i explained it to her i was a little afraid that i did not get my point across of what i wanted my cake to look like and since she did not have any pictures of a cake like mine that she had done before i have been sweating about what it will look like. I mean i have been pretty nervous about this especially with our wedding being so far off.

I just kept telling myself that its just a cake and not to stress about it. Well over the weekend our cake lady did a cake just like mine for another girl and i was so excited to see how it turned out. This is my cake just without the flowers. I'm not sure what type of flowers i want to use but this pictures gives me a good idea of how every things will look. Sorry the picture quality is not so good and I know you cant really tell but, on the bottom layer there is a "M" and that will also be on my cake.

The chocolate cake is J's grooms cake but, it wont necessarily have the green flowers on it. J is a huge Alabama Football fan so he had to have a ALA cake for sure. I am thinking of doing some other Alabama stuff for J's cake. What did you include on your cake tables??

Let them eat cake

That's right, i have booked my cake and Joseph's groom cake. I am using Mrs. Pow at Brides and Bow Ties. I meet her back in February at a bridal show that was held at Capstone Hotel. Me, my mom and Joseph's mom all went to the show. We had tasted a couple of other cakes from local bakery's and they were good UNTIL..... we tried her cake. She only does old fashion wedding cakes that are white. If you would like her contact info let me know and i will be glad to share.

We meet her Saturday at her shop and i think we looked at a million photos. We even got to sample some of her frosting and talk about some good stuff.

This is what my cake will look like but, i will not have the flowers in between the layers and instead i will have pearls to cover the bottom layers. Also, the bottom layer will have our monogram on there. I am thinking of doing just pink & white roses for the top. I still have to decide on which stand i want to use. I can pick from either a white one or the sliver one in the picture. Which one do you think i should pick? What do you think of the cake?

This will be J's cake but, instead of all the green flowers he will more then likely have strawberries. Oh and for all you non Alabama fans the script A will be on there standing for his favorite football team. I think we are going to decorate his table in all Alabama stuff.

I will be picking up my dress from David's Bridal this weekend and i am so excited about bringing it home. Stay tuned for updates on this.

New Makeup

Happy first day of APRIL!!!! I love April, it just makes me want to sing lalalalala. Oh and Happy Birthday to my brother, that's right he is an April Fools baby.
I went this week and bought me some new make up. I ran into a girl i went to high school with and just so happen she worked at the Estee lauder makeup counter. So after a little conversion and question asking she talked me into trying there new mineral makeup called Nutritious.

I was a little wary of trying it since i have not changed makeup since i was in high school and since the foundation is a powder and not liquid. So today is my first day wearing it and I'm still not too sure on it. I really want to love it but, i just don't know yet. So have any of you tried it yet?

I did get this really cute free gift with it so i think it may have been worth it.

Ok so i have set my appointment to meet with the wonderful cake lady now i just have to pick a cake. I again just cant decide which one (i see a trend here) So here are some of my favorites.

Cakes

Woo Hoo i have found the most perfect bakery ever to do my cake. I wont revel who yet but just be patient and it will come. We actually meet her at a bridal show a couple of months ago and tasted one of her cakes and man oh man this lady makes the best cakes every, talk about some good good cakes. The baker is suppose to be emailing me some of her previous work to look. I am so excited about this oh and she was within my budget (again woo hoo). Here is one cake picture i found that i love but not my favorite. Sorry i don't have a picture of it on the computer.
