Over the weekend, Sunday to be exact, my mom, future mother in law, and I went to a bridal show at our venue and we had a great time. I got to show them our venue, we tasted some cake, got some ideas AND I won a $100 gift card to the Bon Ton!
I picked up these samples at the bakery today for us to taste after dinner tonight. I can't wait to try them!!
Top row (right to left): chocolate, strawberry, red velvet, strawberry amarettoBottow row (right to left): vanilla, orange supreme, carrot w/ cream cheese icing, chocolate chambord
Then I went to Michaels and I completely lucked out! I found a bunch of great things that I can use for the wedding and they were all on clearance!

maybe putting them on the backs of the chairs to reserve seating.
Either way, they will be put to use, whether in my home or at the wedding.
We've been engaged for a little over 6 months already and we are still getting engagement presents! I can't believe how fast time is flying.

Ohh I can't wait to be able to sample cake! Looks like you girls had a lot of fun! Which cake did you go with? Red velvet?
ReplyDelete@Lilly: That's a brilliant idea! @Jenna: This is the one step in the planning process that my fiane is into way more than anything else, for sure.
ReplyDelete@Jessica: We are strongly leaning toward the red velvet but vanilla with a filling is a possibility too. I thought I was going to love the amaretto and chambord but I actaully liked them the least.
