Michigan Wedding Cake

This pas week, Mrs. Czubko put me in contact with the wedding cake caterer that is going to make the wedding cake for the Michigan reception. She had gotten a recommendation from the Michigan photographer about Nancy Monson. I was really excited because Mrs. Czubko had directed her to our website to view the picture of the wedding cake that we are going to have at the Florida reception, and she sent me a few examples of wedding cakes she had made similiar to ours. The pictures she sent me are soooo beautiful! And it was so neat being able to see what the cake we had designed on paper really looks like! I am leaning towards having a chocolate/vanilla cake with cherry mouse as the filling. Yummy! I wanted to have a cake that represented Michigan and Jeremy and I love the cherries!!!!

We have a couple Kilwin’s fudge shops in Jacksonville and we indulge ourselves in the Traverse City Cherry ice cream whenever we get the chance! It is sooo good! (It’s so funny too that Kilwin’s fudge shops are prodimently found in Michigan and Florida!!) I have posted the pictures of the cake that Nancy sent me and they are soo beautiful! I dare you not to be hungry after you look at these!!

Jeremy and I went for lunch at the Loop in Mandarin and decided to go have a cupcake at this bakery (3 Sisters Chocolate)  next door.  It just happened to be perfect timing because as we were there, the pastry chef was having a meeting with a bride about her wedding cake.  We picked out our cupcakes for dessert, and noticed he had just finished up his meeting, so we decided to go ahead and ask him for some information on wedding cakes.

I really had no vision of a wedding cake I wanted, so I told him a few things I liked, and viola!….he sketched this beautiful cake!  Jeremy and I set up an appointment this past Thursday to meet with him during our lunch hour to eat cake for lunch.  Unfortunately, Jeremy got tied up at work, so he wasn’t able to come, but I did manage to bring some samples back for him.  We tried the Key Lime Cream Cheese Filling with Vanilla Butter Pound Cake (which we knew sounded amazing, but the taste just didn’t thrill us), then we tried the White Chocolate Cream Cheese Filling with Red Velvet Pound Cake and it is amazing! :)
