Last night, Colin and I drove down to San Jose to go cake tasting. We were both excited, as this is one of the last things we needed to get for our wedding! We met several bakers, but none came as highly recommended as Cake Expressions. They had a great relationship with our wedding coordinator, and have done work at our venue for over 20 years! Also, like a lot of the vendors we have chosen, they are recommended by The Knot as one of the best wedding cake vendors in the bay area. With reviews like that, we had to go and check them out.
Upon arriving at the cake shop, we were greeted and immediately given a very large plate of different cakes to sample. I am not sure if it was a good idea or a bad idea to go cake tasting before we had our dinner, but it certainly was delicious. 
We tasted a wide variety of cakes while we were there; everything from a simple vanilla cake to the more exotic mango flavors. All of them were so delicious and had all these wonderful fillings that it was really difficult to choose. We had so many favorites, but we did decide on a tuxedo cake. It has a layer of chocolate and vanilla cake, and it will have a delicious raspberry filling. We are also getting a delicious white chocolate fondant on top of it all. As far as the overall design goes, we didn’t want anything too ornate. We didn’t need a cake in the shape of anything crazy, but we decided on a lovely French filigree design on our three tier cake. On the bottom of each tier, there will be a different color fondant ribbon that will match the different colors of flowers we will have at the wedding. Our cake should look something similar to this:
Wedding Cake
After the cake tasting, we officially ordered our cake. The price was great and the cake was delicious, why waste time right? I honestly can’t believe that we have everything ordered! Our wedding is officially planned! Now we just need to finish up those little details; favors, decor, etc. and we will have a wedding!
Much Love,
The Bumbling Bride
