As in, I have my cake flavors picked out and my date saved with the baker. Hoo-ray!
The FI and I had our tasting on Saturday afternoon and it was AMAZING! We showed up to the SweetHouse Bake Shop, in Mars, around noon. We were quickly greeted and shown upstairs to the room where we'd be tasting cake... Or, perhaps, I should say cupcakes. As we walked in, I saw two pedestals, each with three gorgeous cupcakes. Each of our six chosen flavors was displayed in glorious miniature:
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup (FI picked this first, which I totally expected)
Strawberry Shortcake
Blueberry Lemon
Caramel Apple
Cherry Almond
Sweet Potato Citrus
There weren't the cupcakes that day but are from the SweetHouse Bake Shop's Gallery.
We sat down at the table and were joined by the baker soon after. After a few pleasantries, we began
nom...
nom...
nom...
-ing.
Six cupcakes later (ok, we didn't polish off 100% of them all... just our favorite two, or three or four?) and we had our flavors picked: Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup (a moist, rich, insanely dark chocolate cake with not-cloyingly sweet peanut butter frosting) and Sweet Potato Citrus (a sweet potato cake with blood orange frosting... easily my favorite).
We also picked out our tiers: 10", 12" and 14". Although, that, as well as the color and overall presentation, may change a bit as we get closer to the wedding and have more details on our decor and attendance.
I am so excited about the cake, I can't stand it.
Plus, that's one more check mark on the ever-expanding "To Do" list.
Up next - details about Sunday's engagement photo shoot!
