Cake Tasting!

by Stephanie
So my mom asked around and got a recommendation for a baker to make the wedding cake. We are going to make an appointment over Thanksgiving vacation to go try a bunch of different wedding cakes. Once we have the cake testing we can always tweak the cakes a little bit in case we want a different type of frosting, or we want one with white cake instead of chocolate, etc. Here are the descriptions of the six types of cake we want to try:

Rustic Pear Cake
A spice cake made with our own pear butter and bits of dark chocolate layered with a spiced rum mascaroine cream.

Chocolate Raspberry Prailene
Chocolate buttermilk cake layered with a dark ganache, sweetened mascarpone cram, fresh raspberries soaked in Framboise, and a sprinkle of prailine crumbles.

Pumpkin Gingerbread
A moist cake made with warm spices that can be layered with cream cheese frosting.

Hazelnut Gianduja
A creamy milk chocolate infused with hazelnuts made into a creamy mousse. Then we add more toasted hazelnuts and layer it between our chocolate buttermilk cake.

Cassatta Torte
Vanilla cake soaked with kahlua & esspresso, then filled with a sweetened ricotta and chocolate chip cream.

Citrus Cream
Zesty lemon butter cake layered with mascarpone cream and lime curd.

You should vote on which cake you think you would like the best. The poll is over on the right hand side of the page.

Danny definitely thinks this is one of the best parts of the wedding planning!
And they lived happily ever after...
