Cake Tasting and other weekend wedding stuff...


Jason was in Minnesota this weekend so we tried to get a number of wedding-related things taken care of, in addition to celebrating birthdays with my college friends and my family and having my parents over to help with some house projects...it was a busy weekend to say the least!

However, we did get the tuxes taken care of for the groomsmen/ushers, proof our wedding invites and (the best part!) order our wedding cake. The wedding cake tasting experience was fun for both of us. We ordered from Grandma's bakery in White Bear Lake; their main bakery is located in an industrial-looking area that we drove right by the first time. However, once we walked inside, the huge kitchen and bakery smells were unmistakable! We were seated with their albums to look at for decor inspiration and given sample cake flavors - white, marble and chocolate. We were also given 2 types of frosting - traditional buttercream and a whipped frosting. Finally, we were given the choice of 3 fillings...we chose Bavarian Cream, Lemon Mousse and French Mocha (a selfish choice, since we knew it would probably not be a big hit with a number of people). We spent 15 minutes or so mixing and matching flavors and ended up ruling out the buttercream frosting, chocolate cake and french mocha filling almost immediately. So, our choices were left to marble/Bavarian cream/whipped frosting or white/lemon mousse/whipped frosting...Guesses on what we ended up with?

I guess marble/Bavarian cream/whipped frosting. Am I right? Sounds good either way.
