Cake
Cake is my favorite food. Literally. Jason always tells me that cake cant be a favorite food because its not "real" food but I dont care, I love it. So the flavors of the cake were a huge decision for me! However, the venue we've chosen includes the cake in your contract and luckily, the bakery is amazing.
We decided on a three layer cake in an octagon shape. The bottom layer will be yellow with white scrolls and will be lemon cake with either raspberry buttercream filling or white chocolate buttercream filling. I havent decided yet.
The middle layer will be white with our monogram on it in yellow. It will be almond cake with amaretto buttercream filling (it was amazing. My mom hates amaretto and she even loved it).
The top layers will be yellow with a white scrollwork band on it. We are planning on saving this top layer for just us since its an early wedding so we are (obviously) going to want more cake! This is going to be a silk cake, which is essentially cheesecake sandwhiched between regular cake. We decided to go with NY style cheesecake with chocolate cake.
The grooms cake is essentially two cakes. Each will be in the shape of a football helmet, one red velvet with cream cheese filling decorated to look like a Seminoles helmet (with seven tomahawk stickers to represent the 7 years we have been together) and one chocolate with peanutbutter cup filling to look like a Steelers helmet since those are Jason's two favorite teams and his entire life is football. I am going to have them facing each other, in the manner that ESPN usually does on game day. They will placed on a bed of green shredded coconut to look like a football field.
