The Cake!


Today we had our cake tasting! And it was de.lic.ious. We are having the cake made by Mary Ann Blade in Charlotte, NC. We decided on the design and flavors today, and got to taste a sample of the red velvet (plus some to-die-for chocolate truffles). So for flavors we decided on three layers, each a different flavor: red velvet cake with cream cheese filling, chocolate cake with chocolate mousse and raspberry filling and coconut cake with bavarian cream filling. All covered in buttercream icing. And the design will involve different shaped layers, and a rambling vine of fondant grapes. Chris's mom, Dianne, came up with an incredible "sketch" of our perfect cake-- sometimes its really nice to have an artist in the family!

We are having a hard time deciding on one detail, can you help us? Which flavor combination should we use for the largest layer?
