Cake Walk

Remember those? I used to love the cake walks they would have at the school fair. Those were so much fun...and SO rewarding! Have I mentioned that I love cake? Cause I do....corner slice with lots of icing, please!

So next week Mark and I are suppose to have our cake tasting as well as picking out what we want for our cake. So do you know what that means?? I need help deciding! Over the past several months I've been collecting pictures of cakes that I like. I figure I'll post them all here and you can tell me which one is your favorite! Sound like a plan?!? Well here we go....

So, as you can tell...I'm looking for a damask-like design. I'm thinking probably 4 layers. And obviously, we would change the colors on any of these cakes to match our color scheme and add flowers as a cake topper.  So, what do you guys think? Which is your favorite? Suggestions for colors on your favorite? How about flowers? ..would you add them? ...where and what color?Remember, our colors are b/w damask, deep aubergine purple and pale aqua blue. 

*Also, I apologize, but because I collected these images over the span of SEVERAL months, I no longer have the websites where I got them from. So, if one of these is your image then let me know and I'll credit you for it* Thanks!

Inspiration Images of the Day

I don't have much to write on this post, but I wanted to share these beautiful pictures. I always come across pictures on blogs of various things and I'll pull the picture and put it in my file but never share it. So today, when i came across one of these images I thought to myself that I should be sharing these with everyone instead of just filing them away. So from here on out when I come across inspiration pictures that embody the characteristics of the mood and vibe that i want to set for our wedding I'm going to post them to this blog...for all to enjoy :)

Maybe I'm a little ahead of myself, but I really LOVE this cake

So there are probably a million other things that I need to be picking out right now, but I came across this cake somewhere (I really can't remember where! BUT...I'm going to try to keep better track of where I find my images - promise!) and I absolutely LOVE it! It's perfect...the only things i would alter....
- the robin's egg blue ribbon would be AQUA
- the brown would be BLACK
- and I'd like some kind of cake topper...most likely some pretty ivory flowers

I was originally thinking that i wanted a different shape, like possibly an octagon - but I really love the way this traditional round looks...it's symmetry is perfect!
