The Cake

Of course, the cake will be custom, and I would like to ask my friend Sara if she would like the honors of doing it. With the theme, the most sensible thing would be red velvet, however I'm not very fond of how sweet it is myself. Chocolate again is questionable, and it's been considered that the cake have multiple layers with different flavorings for different guests needs and wants.

Vetoes:

• Ice cream
• Carrot
• Red Velvet
• Lemon

Though Carrot Cake has to be one of my all-time favorite things, I'm not quite sure it would be a good idea. 

I want the cake to follow the theme as much as possible, and would like for it to have a very symmetrical, or vintage look to it. Red icing doesn't suit my fancy, but instead I would like adornments of flowers to bring the color to the cake. The group will most likely not be very big, so the cake doesn't need to be enormous, but it would be wonderful to have enough for people to come back for a second piece if they really want to.

I really find this cake to  be a wonderful choice. Fondant always gives a perfected look, and serves as an extra layer of protection so that it's a bit harder to hurt should anything happen.

Another consideration for the cake includes a flowing ribbon over a square cake, with small lilies made of fondant or frosting adorning the edges. I really love modernized looks at this cake would be perfect if it were ivory.
