Cake or DEATH!!
We chose cake.
Steven made an appointment at Konditor Meister today at noon. We've had a couple switch ups on the cake and finally decided to just bite the bullet and expend some cash on it (about the same as it would've cost to have one of Mum's friends make it). My stepbrother's girlfriend works there, so we figured we wouldn't get totally snowed. She actually ended up being our cake consultant, so that was even better.
We retasted everything and decided to ultimately go with banana cream filling rather than the tiramisu because it was the only one that was consistently great. Probably not the most elegant choice, but still delicious. The cake is going to be 3 layers, swiss dots on frosting, and clear pillars so it looks like it's resting on snowflakes
Total cost was $464, including delivery, which was a little more than I expected, but not much. So I put down a deposit of $400 and off we went to meet Chad for lunch at Rock Bottom. Steven had oatmeal stout and I had pumpkin ale, which I liked a lot. I took home most of my monte christo because I will never, ever learn that the food there isn't that good.
We popped over to the Plaza after because I wanted to show Steven the suits Beth and I saw when we went out a week ago. We ended up deciding to just get them, since the Plaza's going to get zooier as it gets closer to the holidays and they weren't cheaper on eBay. All the kids need now are white shirts and black shoes, which isn't bad.
We're going to see Alice Cooper tomorrow night. Thank god it won't be raining. It also looks a bit warmer than originally thought, too.

The seven minute frosting sounds really good. Marshmello anything is good.

man, i love the cake!
How is the kissing ball coming along? Are you nervous yet?

Re: man, i love the cake!
I bet the design would work with shells or flowers, too.
Not nervous so much as stressed about getting everything tied up and paid for. We're still waiting to hear from my father. No one's heard from him in over a month, he's not taking calls, and he hasn't send back his response card. I imagine he's not dead, because someone would've called then.

We shall ignore that I am mildly allergic to bananas.

Weddings are so horribly expensive. We've ended up DIYing a lot of things and will hopefully be under 5k. So it's totally doable, but it means a lot of extra work and pressing talented friends into service... Kind of like press gangs in the Navy.

Am I seeing you this week-end at the Bridal Shower O'Doom, btw? Did I send you an invite or did I just think about it?
And the cake... so delicious! I could totally go for a piece now.
