Five Layers of Goodness


The cake was almost as easy a decision as Thomas, our photographer. Few things in life are simple lately, so we definitely enjoyed the Saturday morning when we met with Joy from Pastry Pantry.

When we walked into the office where they let her rent out a room to store her creations in Glen Ellyn, the smell of sugar was unreal. The room’s four walls were lined by cakes of all sizes, colors, frosting types and decorating persuasions. Very visual – perfect!

We viewed her book of past creations, showed her some pictures of our own, and settled on a customized buttercream design of our creation, combining the elements of our wedding day and the things we liked most about other cakes.

There are tiers, flowers, rosettes, pearls frosting and… oh yes, the innards.

The easiest part of the entire planning process thus far might have been picking our cake flavor. Joy had set out two plates of samples for us to try. The first one we tried was it. We sampled a couple others to make sure, but that was the one. We didn’t even try them all or finish our cake samples!

Picture: Generic cake. Not our cake.
