Cake- Part 2
I almost forgot to tell you WHO is doing the cake….
I started researching prices for cakes early in the planning process and was very surprised at how much a cake actually costs! After calling around to many different bakeries and finding out price points, I found that most bakeries were way out of my price range….sometimes up to $5.00 per serving not to mention delivery fees and any additional design fees. Since we are have a pretty big guest list (we are expecting around 300 people) we had to keep the cost of the cake down. A good friend of my mom’s told me about a small mom-and-pop bakery in Brentwood called the Flour Shop and said they do great cakes for a very affordable price and boy was she right! For $2.50 per serving and NO delivery charges, I can get a fantastic wedding cake. Its a basic white cake with ivory butter cream frosting and white butter cream detailing. I didn’t want to get to fancy with all the fillings and flavors…sometimes it over-powers to the goodness of a plain white cake. So, Iris, owner of the Flour Shop in Brentwood is taking care of me! I am so excited to see and TASTE the final product!
For the grooms cake, Nick is planning of having some good old-fashioned peach cobbler! YUM!!!!!!!!!! I am not sure who will be making it at this point but I think he and his family have some ideas.
