We did the food and cake tastings this past week. The food was absolutely delicious. We’ve decided on one hors d’oeurve and we’re going to see how the other two price out. We’ll have a steak choice (filet mignon cooked medium), a chicken in red pepper sauce choice, and a salmon choice. All three were absolutely delicious.
The wedding cake will be an amaretto cake with almonds (so nobody with nut allergies are allowed near it). =) It will be iced with buttercream and then topped with fondant. The bakery’s fondant was great! In my experience, fondant usually doesn’t taste very good, but this place’s recipe was great. Jeremy’s groom’s cake will be a chocolate Kahlua cake. That too was yummy.
I also bought my veil!!! I want to say it’s one of a kind, but I know it’s not. However, I’ve never seen anyone else wear a veil quite like this one. Unfortunately, nobody thought to take any pictures of my veil shopping experience, and let me say, it was an experience. We went to a specialty veil studio, and I swear I never realized just how many different styles of veils there were. When they were hanging, they all looked exactly the same. They were apparently all different. We were there for two hours trying on veils with the lady. It was definitely fun though because she would put on the veils, and then I would have to model it for everyone. Now, all I have to do is go try the veil on with my dress and see how everything looks together!!!
