Who would have though searching for a cake can be this much trouble. My sister has a friend who is a pastry chef, who I emailed asking for a quote to make cherry blossom cupcakes. She quoted me $7 per cup cake plus like another 200-300 for the fruit cake, that cake would cost me $1k eeeek.... There's a perception that cup cake towers are cheaper than an actual wedding cakes but its not!! omg the opposite. I wanted a yummy cake but I don't know if ppl can tell the difference between a $1k cake vs $600-800. Anyway so I kept looking around (by this time didn't really care if it was cup cakes or not). We found a place this afternoon that can do a very simple cherry blossom cake which isnt as crazy as some of the cherry blossom cakes on google like these guys. A bit too over the top with the flowers lol
Our wedding cake has two of our favourite things on it - cherry blossoms & pink bows.. you may think it sounds lame but it's pretty looking. It's a 3 tiered cake and I got different flavours for every tier. Good thing is we have flowers on the top tier so we don't need any cake toppers since the last one I bought was lost in the mail.
Oh wow, those cakes!
ReplyDeleteGEEEZZ $1000 for a cake? Far out! (Obviously I am not, nor have ever been involved in planning a wedding)
Cherry Blossom sounds like a beautiful theme for your cake, make sure to post back your final choice!
Wow, those cakes are like works of art hehe. Looking forward to seeing pics of yours, pink bows and cherry blossoms sounds lovely <3 and that's so cool that you are getting different flavours for each tier (have you chosen which ones yet?) xx
