I think I''m burned out on decision-making!
It''s looking like we''ll be going with our caterer for the wedding cake. While this probably isn''t the greatest decision in the world, I don''t have the time or energy to find another baker at this point. And I am getting to the point where I couldn''t care less about the flavors.
I want our cake to look like this photo, only with fewer pears and flowers so it''s less busy.
What flavors should I pick? I was thinking of almond with raspberry filling and italian buttercream frosting. Should I pick a second or third choice? If so, what? I don''t want chocolate cause at our tasting it was kind of dry.
Here are the choices:
standard cake flavors: white, yellow, chocolate, lemon, marble, spice, carrot
specialty cake flavors: orange, strawberry, banana, coconut, espresso, almond, hazelnut, chocolate mint, butter pecan, red velvet
basic filling flavors: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, raspberry, lemon
specialty filling flavors: orange, lime, blueberry, mango, passion fruit, white chocolate, coconut, cappucino, mocha, hazelnut, caramel, peanut butter, mint
Should I have them cover it in fondant? They said they can do the italian buttercream underneath the fondant if I want to.
