The cake buffet bandwagon!
So let me tell you a story, interspersed with amazing photos of cake buffets.
A long time ago (read: last November) the Pencils chose their menu and cake. We chose the cake flavors, the shape, and the design. Only problem? We absolutely, utterly and completely forgot what we chose.
As I forgot and forgot what we had decided, I dwelled on what I realized I wanted: a cake buffet.
Cake buffets like the amazing Mrs. Avocado had and cake buffets like the one gorgeous Mrs. Dumpling meant to have.
So at our venue tasting, I spoke with our baker and asked her if we could change our plan (which, we discovered was a three tier round cake with green vertical stripes.). And she said YES! We would just be charged the per serving price and still get our top 6 inch tier included without cost!
The best part of this decision? I don't have to choose just one or two or three cake flavors- we can pick up to six whole different ones! I am NOT good at making decisions regarding lots of good options, so now I don't have to choose!
Want to know the flavors we chose? Well, Mr. Pencils and I both just DROP for our baker, Karen Rodney's, almond pound cake with raspberry chambord. Oh, I can taste it now. We also chose red velvet, lemon pound, carrot cake (Mr. P says it's the most amazing carrot cake he's ever had-I'll trust him on that) and yellow with chocolate buttercream. That's it- because Mr. P and I will have the almond pound for our own cake as well because we love it so much!
Now I want cake. What desserts you all having? Anyone joining on the cake buffet bandwagon? Toot toot, all aboard!
