Although I'm not willing to pay exorbitant prices (ahem, I got a quote for R10 000) for something edible, I am still not letting go on quality - and quality is what I found with our baker - Malberry Cakes.
On Saturday, Flip and I met the lovely Malissa - owner of Malberry Cakes, for our first cake tasting. You know, like in the movies. And oh my goodness, did I love it. I had my cake and ate it!
Malissa presented us with the most amazing Red Velvet cake with toffee cream filling; a Chocolate Mud cake - which tastes like brownies! - with white chocolate ganache filling and a Vanilla Velvet with a toffee cream filling. Oh my GANACHE! I have never tasted something so good in my entire life. I wish I could just share those tastes with everyone in the entire world.
Malissa quipped that even a groom who didn't like cake got so enthralled by it that he ate it all! We met Malissa at a jewellery shop at Lynwood Bridge - where I got chased out of the shop for taking too many photos - tee hee!
Flip was so in love with the Red Velvet cake that he didn't want to leave a piece for me to take home to my mom - so that she could also have a taste. I finally coaxed him out of it, but needless to say, our wedding cake will definitely feature Red Velvet.
{I was a bit opposed to this though as I'm not a fan of red}
Malissa is explaining the different cakes to us below.
I loved interacting with her and cannot wait to see her again on the wedding day!
Best cake tasting adventure like ever!
I cannot wait to see our cake!

How exciting and yummy! The thought of cake tasting hasn't even crossed my mind. I need to list this down too. I thought we would just sit down with the cake maker and discuss the color, what kind of cake and the design. I can't wait to have the cake tasting with my future mister. =)
Those cakes look amazing!
Make sure you have a trusty bridesmaid to save you some cake.
And the cake does become a low priority - but it can be a big thing too - http://purplelipsandperfectsmiles.blogspot.com/2012/07/wedding-day-memories-cake-and-story.html
