Let them eat CAKE!

We are blissfully in the cake sampling stage. Ahhhhh the sweet lure of cake and frosting. Sigh, the endless possibilities of flavor combinations and only Eric and I to dream them up. So many different flavors to try. The challenges, choosing a flavor! But seriously, a wedding cake should be filled with love. And what a great love affair chocolate cake is. Chocolate cake with any frosting really, strawberry, coffee, vanilla and of course chocolate frosting! Alas, the search continues.....below are a couple of pictures of the cakes we sampled! If only we could taste with our eyes..........

I forgot to take pictures at this place. So we didn't actually this exact sample but we did try the center one! Black and White Raspberry, I think the bottom right is the Dulce de Leche.

Our favorite flavor was the chocolate banana chip!
