Re: whats your flavor?

I havent ordered a cake yet but I did go look at some. Since I am on a tight budget I cant spend over $250 for a cake,hopefully I wont have to spend that much. I was thinking about chocolat cake for one layer and german chocolate for another since thats FH and I favorite flavors. The place I went to is in HP and they said you have to order at least a week in advance. I think it alldepends on the place you go to. Some places have a waiting list just to order a cake.

Re: whats your flavor?

That's true Allies. A lot of the bridal check lists suggest that you order your cake at least three months in advance. I will probably order it some time next month. Future I really wanted a red velvet cake. I don't know if Walmart does red velvet cakes, but if I can get even a small one I would be one happy camper!

Re: whats your flavor?

I like red velvete cake too. AND it would go just great with my wedding colors....lol. Rhonda try going to a small bakery to get your red velvet cake and then the other cake from walmart. That way you can take that cake home.At the reception I doubt you really eat the cake anyway besides the first bite with FH.

She gave me a list with about 50 cake and filling combinations aside from the ones the others had selected. And I told her to just pick one or I'd cal out a random number and whatever that corresponded to would be her pick!

Re: whats your flavor?

My favorite cake is corny, but I love it.

It's yellow cake with fresh Strawberry & Banana filling. But, I also like carrot cake and cheesecake.

Re: whats your flavor?

IMO that IS too much for a cake Teresa. Try looking around more. Try unconventional places also like Costco, Walmart, and supermarkets.

Our cake will have 4 tiers. I have no idea what flavors yet but one will be chocolate cake with whipped cream and another will be yellow cake with fresh strawberries.

We will save the top tier but our bakery actually makes you a fresh cake when you bring in the top tier on your anniversary.

I am going to check Publix and see if they will do that! Also we did our cake at a grocer, and we saved a lot of money! We probably should have ordered a larger cake cause I don't think we had any leftover cake it was that good!

Re: whats your flavor?

FH and I just returned from cake tasting this past weekend! It was so fun and yummy:) We sampled white with straw. filling, choc. with choc. mousse, white with white choc. mousse, and several others, but in the end, we all loved the traditional white almond with butter cream frosting, so that is what we will be having!
