Our Wedding: Cake

While I love seeing beautiful wedding cakes, it just wasn't the highest priority thing on our list. I just couldn't imagine spending a lot of money on a cake. Daniel and I don't even like cake, really but we knew we wanted to have something for our guests. We wanted something simple, and inexpensive! The cake was ordered through Publix, a white cake with raspberry filling, and buttercream frosting. I purchased the cake topper from Etsy.

We didn't end up having a grooms cake. I thought it might be fun to have a surfboard cake or something, but Daniel thought it was a weird idea, and couldn't see spending money on an "extra" cake.. he does have a point. This was one of those decisions he was set on, so no grooms cake it was.

Following tradition, our cake is in our freezer so that we can "enjoy" it on our 1 year wedding anniversary, but I highly doubt it will taste good then! :)

Oops, didn't mean to aim at his eye!

Love!

I wasn't able to get any pictures of the beautiful custom runner on the cake table. It was a linen runner which had our monogram painted on it, which I absolutely adore! I will share more details that were missed in a separate post.

    I love your cake! We also couldn't justify the extra cost of a groom's cake.

    I love the simplicity of your cake! We didn't have a groom's cake at the wedding but I made sure the cake we had at our engagement party was more like a groom's cake in that it had a fishing theme on it.

    We also got our cake from Publix, the topper we put in the freezer was chocolate cake with raspberry filling and white buttercream like yours. And you will be surprised - if you wrapped it right, the cake will taste DELICIOUS a year later. Mine was almost as good as on our Wedding Day. Yumm!!! Nothing went bad and the cake and everything was fresh and tasty. It was def a lot of fun to relive thememories...

    cake wasn't high on our priority list either, so I totally understand that! but I do love how simple and beautiful your cake looks!

    and if it's anything like our experience - you'll be surprised how delicious that frozen cake actually tastes! Ours was seriously like the day of the wedding- no joke!
