The Bride's cake was simple and turned out beautiful and delicious.
Vanilla cake, three teared, with flowers matching my bouquet and the rest of the wedding party. Who doesn't love a good wedding cake?? We saved the top layer to freeze. We were home in Texas for Christmas and not knowing when we would get to return again, we had a few bites and it was yummy! We also fed a piece to one another again,
that time shoving it in each others faces :)
Eric wanted the Groom's cake "manly" and in the shape of Texas. He was very pleased!
The cakes were a hit thanks to Eric's cousin! I am so grateful she agreed to do them.
When it came to planning food this intimidated me. Food is expensive! For our wedding a caterer was out of question because it did not fit in our budget. How much food should you plan? How much are you willing to spend? What will be served? I would say our reception was designed to be for people to drop by to visit, celebrate, party with us and we wanted to provide some light food for them to snack on. I was making it a lot harder than it had to be! It ended up being simple, yet pretty. For food we served tasty mini sandwiches from Costco (that place is amazing all the time, but especially for weddings) and lots of finger foods. Including carrots, grapes, strawberries and cucumbers with dip provided. There was a wonderful group of ladies who volunteered to help in the kitchen! They made sure there was always enough food out on the tables! My bridesmaid put "to-go" boxes together for Eric and I to take with us after the reception back to the hotel. We didn't get a chance to eat anything at the reception (we were still full from our luncheon thank goodness). We did have food left over- but hey, it was healthy veggies and fruit that could be snacked on in the days to come and not a complete waste!
