Which Cake Stand Should I Choose?
Monday, February 2nd, 2009
Today Ryan and I are having our cake testing and the options are White Sponge Cake with Chocolate Mousse, White Sponge Cake with Mocha, Marble Cake with Vanilla Whip Cream Custard, or Marble Cake with Tahitian Vanilla. No matter what we decide it will have white buttercream frosting. I am not much of a cake person and so I don’t think I am going to be too picky. Since this is one of the only fun parts for Ryan I am thinking that I will let him have the final say.
Apparently the cake makers don’t provide us with a cake stand so I have to get one on my own. This is fine with me because I already had an idea in my head of how I want it to look. I want something traditional/vintage in white. I visualized scalloped edges but now I am not sure because I found all of these other great cake stands. I also really like some of these that have little dots and I am also wondering if having a raised edge is completely necessary. It seems to be more functional. This first image is my inspiration cake. So I really need your help deciding on which one to purchase. Which one is your favorite that would go nicely with this cake design?
Update: We just got back from cake testing and we chose the White Sponge Cake with Mocha! So good!
