the cake.

Our cake is coming from Elite Sweets in Livonia, MI.  You can see the design of the cake here, but instead of green and white, our cake will have tangerine colored fondant with fuchsia piping. The cake will be three tiers alternating between strawberry shortcake and banana rum-nut flavors.  Since three tiers will not feed all of our guests, we will also have sheet cakes in the same two flavors to cut down on costs.  The sheet cakes will only be covered in buttercream so the guests who don't love fondant as much as I do, can have their cake without.

After about 10 months of scouring the internet for the perfect cake topper, i finally found it on etsy (michellesclaycorner).  It's a little on the small side, but it's exactly what we wanted so, for now, we're completely happy with it.  Hopefully once it's on the cake we'll still feel the same way.  I'm sure we will.
Since it's clay, we'll be able to keep it and display it long after the wedding, which is something that was really important to us.
