Yay! After four bakeries we finally found our cake!

This morning my fiance, his mom and I went to Ettore''s here in Sacramento and can I just say OMG! The cake was amazing. We were all so impressed. So we ordered it! It was a little bit more expensive than I wanted but definitely worth it.

Our cake will be a three tier and we''ll have a sheet cake to serve as well to save some money.

Top tier will be Kahlua (more like a chocolate cake with kahlua mixed into the filling), middle tier will be Strawberry White Chocolate Mousse (my personal favorite) and the bottom tier we will cut into will be their Princess Torte ("A lovely and light Tahitian vanilla sponge cake filled with three thin layers of raspberry preserves and a creamy white mousse"). The sheet cake will serve the most people and it will be their Fruit Basket cake which is layers of Tahitian vanilla sponge cake filled with strawberries and pineapple with white mousse. It''s really light and since it''s a summer wedding we figure the fruit will appeal to more people.

We weren''t originally going to have four flavors but all of the cake was so amazing we couldn''t choose!

And here''s the design we chose! We can alter it if we want up to 30 days before the wedding, but I''m pretty sure this is what we''re going to go with. However we''re going to use fresh flowers in my wedding colors rather than the yellow sugar flowers shown.

Yay! One more thing crossed off the list!

Sounds tasty! Save some of the chocolate for me? Are your wedding colours yellow like the cake in the photo?
 
Haha I''ll be sure to save you some Addy!

Our colors are bright pink, tiffany blue and cream. We''re thinking of having the flowers be the kind of roses that start out cream and get pink towards the edges. Or just all pink if we can find the right shade. My FMIL and I are doing all of the flowers together so we''ll just see what we can find.
 
That sounds delicious! And I love the design too.
 
it looks pretty! Have you thought about maybe doing the swags a tiffany blue with the pink roses??
 
Congrats Pearl!! The flavors sound delicious!!
 
I like the design and the flavors sound really good.

I agree with this - I think your idea of doing roses that are cream in the center and get pink towards the outside, with a tiffany blue swag, would be a stunning cake. I love this - I really, really love your choice!

MMMmmm... sounds tasty and it looks very pretty!
 
Okay so I hadn''t even thought about having the swag be blue! I love the idea! So here is my feeble attempt of a photoshop of what I think I want the cake to look like... Thoughts?

I like the blue...it looks pretty. I tend not to like things that are too colorful - but I think this is perfect, it''s not overwhelming the cake.
 
Wow, it looks gorgeous with the blue!

I''m sure you probably already thought of this, but are you saving the top layer for your anniversary? If so, no one will get to eat that flavor but the two of you.
 
I think it''s stunning!! It''s my fave cake. The one that I was interested in at the wedding fair I was at is identical only there were purple flowers on it! Great taste!

Thanks! And actually the bakery we''re going with will make us a free cake for our anniversary next year so that we''ll have fresh cake rather than year old frozen cake!
 
Oh wow, I love that cake. It''s so elegant. And it sounds like it''s going to be delicious!
 
That sounds delicious!
 
YUMMY!!!! I love the different flavor combos! Espeically that Kahlua

The blue swag & pink flowers look divine... It looks tres pretty against that crisp white frosting!
 
Oh wow! Do you mind if I steal your cake design?
