My Biggest Wedding Decision

So I'm sure for most girls, the biggest decision they make during the wedding planning process is choosing the right dress or the right location. For me, it's the cake. Afterall, I do decorate cakes for a living. So I ask you, why is it such a hard decision for me? I see cakes all day every day, yet I can not decide.

So here's what I've compiled so far (keep in mind none of the colors are right on these cakes, I was more attracted to the designs):

I love the nature-y, simple feel of this first cake.

These next two I like the stripe-y patterns.


I really like how this cake is simple and detailed all at the same time.


I just thought this paisley pattern was nice and refreshing.


This is by far my favorite. I love the use of M & Ms. How fun, right?

So by now you can probably tell I like simple. But I'm also very indecisive and I just can't figure it out. It really shouldn't be that tough.

So instead I'm moving on to toppers. I never thought I'd have a topper but then I found a couple that I fell in love with so we'll see. Here they are:

I love this first one because it's rustic and I can totally display this after the wedding in my house.

This one I like because it's so us. I love to pinch Mr. Plaid's butt, much to his dismay, I might add. Hehe :)

Ok so I left out of big part of this whole wedding cake thing. Here it goes, "Hi, my name's Jenn and I decorate cakes for a living."

And I am just crazy enough to think that I am going to be making my own wedding cake. I mean I'm the first to admit that I am going to have trouble relinquishing control over design and execution. Ugh!

The general consensus is that I should not be worrying myself with decorating my own cake the day before my wedding. But I know I can totally conquer it. I'm trying to get on top of everything now so that I have time to make my cake the day before. However, I know my last couple days will probably be completely crazy so I guess I need to deal with reality.

Two of my coworkers have graciously offered to make the cake for me for free and I'll still get to design it exactly the way I want. That's really the only other option I'd consider. I'm not about to pay for something I can do myself.

However, I'm making the cake, not anyone else. That's all there is to it!

Is/was there anything in your wedding that you insisted doing even though everyone warned you it'd be a mess? Maybe I'm the only crazy one!

I leave you with this photo only because it is absolutely hilarious! :)
