For those of you who don’t know I will be getting married in December and I am super excited to tell you that I have picked the design of my cake! That was one of the hardest things for me to pick. I wanted something that was elegant but had a little whimsy. I think this will do the trick!Since we are having a kind-of heavy dinner the cake flavors will be lighter. The bottom layer will be vanilla with raspberry buttercream and the top two layers will be lemon with strawberry buttercream and strawberry jam. We went with jam since good strawberries are hard to find in December. Keep in mind that our colors are apple red, white, and black. So the top of the cake will have a pile of red roses on top. I am so excited!!!!Bella Luna
