Our Wedding Cake!

One of my most favorite parts of planning our wedding was the wedding cake! I have a HUGE sweet tooth, so not only did I need the cake to look good, I also needed it to be delicious!

I heard about Kathy and Company from a few different people; they all raved about how incredibly delicious and beautiful her cakes were. I called Kathy and made an appointment for my mom and I to go and do a tasting while Joe was busy with football (or class, I can't remember!)I wrote about our experience here; we had SO much fun!

These were the pictures I took for inspiration:



Also, here was a little drawing I did of the cake Kathy designed for us:


We ended up scrapping my cake stand idea, and we rented a beautiful gold stand from a local rental company on the day of the wedding. Picture my mom running all over Spartanburg hunting down a gold cake stand hours before the wedding. STRESSFUL! Also, I planned on having pink peonies (the same as I had in my bouquet) on our cake, but the flowers were delivered to the church instead of the reception location; hence the reason there are hydrangea blooms on the cake. I LOVED the way it turned out, even with all of the mishaps. Shows that you can plan 'til the cows come home, but things will always go wrong with a wedding! I was so happy that day that I didn't care!

Kathy and her team were absolutely wonderful to work with, and I have told everyone I know about them. The cake was gorgeous, and was also the best cake I have ever tasted. We had so many guests tell us the same thing! All of the flavors were divine; I wish I had some right now!

Here are a few pictures of how it turned out!



I made this little sign so the guests would know the different flavors we chose!


We used the same cake topper that my parents had on their cake 25 years ago! :)






I DIY'ed our silhouettes for the cake table...I'm a little obsessed with them.


If anyone in Upstate South Carolina needs a cake for any occasion, you should definitely contact Kathy!
