"ashley claire's" tasting

our 5th cake tasting...and i think this will be our last...haha...we already had another earlier this morning, and this was our second. unfortunately, my camera fell into the water (we tipped over) while kayaking, hence, no pictures for this one. the design that the baker, susan, thought of was the best thus far...thinking of thus i didn't even come up with, but loved. she said she could make any cake that we wanted...so many options...it's going to take a while to make up our mind. eli was definitely going into a sugar coma after this one...

"euro pastry & chocolate fountain" tasting

our 4th cake tasting...two days after cute cakes. we went early in the morning before we went kayaking..way to work it off!!! haha. chef urs was really professional...and brought up some aspects about our cake that we've never thought of before. the cakes were DELICIOUS!! (i think our top contender so far...), but the design is something that may need work....hmmm...taste vs. design....i think i'll go w/ taste. hehe....if we pick this bakery...it will be a duo mousse (vanilla & chocolate combined, but not really like marble), and a white cake w/ strawberry filling and a mango mousse...something totally different, but yummy as well. it'll be a surprise though which one we choose...you'll just have to wait & see...hehe.

"cute cakes" tasting

eli had two weeks off, and i got somewhat of a vacation...my last two days of work, i had off..so i had two weeks where i got four days off each. this was our 3rd cake tasting (our 1st one w/ grove pastry shop, and our 2nd one w/ cake indulgence). they had so much variety of cakes...and the fillings were even more varied.....if we end up choosing them, we will have a deep south chocolate cake w/ strawberry-rasberry filling and country pear w/ cream cheese and a buttercream icing. yummy!!! we were stuffed. to think we were trying to fit all cake tastings in a day!!! whoa!
