I feel like searching for the cake was one of the very first things we did in planning the Ice Cream Sundae wedding. It was probably one of the things that I pinned most on my Vision Board. That being said, because I had changed the theme slightly from rustic to romantic, I really had to hone in on those cakes that fit.
Once we had it figured out where we were going to be having the wedding (Syracuse) it was time for me to search for a baker. For me, my criteria was definitely 1. beautiful designs, 2. priced right, 3. tasty (this had to be last because we were searching for our baker from quite the far distance).
I started searching and found a few that I really liked. I wanted to have choices for Mr. Sundae to choose from, so that he didn't become overwhelmed by the possibilities.

Absolutely love the look of this cake. Not only do the flowers feature one of our colors, but the entire look is definitely what I was going for. Breathtaking!

I feel like this cake is definitely more Miss Ice Cream Sundae circa 2009 (I'm not sure why I chose that year, maybe that's when I felt my love for weddings was starting to blossom?) Anyway, I still absolutely love this cake, It is a bit more showy than the first, but not too much. It is intricate and stunning.

This cake is a bit more similar to the first. More simple, yet still beautiful and elegant. I love this look as well.
So, when I showed Mr. Sundae the cake designs, I was SUPER surprised at his final choice. He liked all of them (I was shocked), but ultimately said that would the second one. My jaw dropped. I thought he would choose either the last or the first design. But hey, I certainly wasn't complaining! Like I said, I love all of them, so in my opinion, we couldn't go wrong with whatever choice was made.
...and just for some added entertainment..here's a sneak peak of the inspiration behind Mr. Sundae's Groom' cake :)

This was the original design that Mr. Sundae and I were looking at. He absolutely LOVES to drum, and did so throughout High School. Needless to say, it is his passion, so it is only fitting that his Groom's cake resembles that.

This last one is definitely the look we are going for, but I somehow just stumbled upon it as I was searching for images to put into this post. Boy, am I glad that happened! The first was the only picture that we could find that fit what Mr. Sundae was looking for, in terms of the natural looking wood drum set, but the three tiers are definitely not necessary!
So, Hive, that's all that I have for now! Hopefully this post didn't make your mouth water too much! I know I was having a bit of difficulty resisting any of the sweets that we have in the house while I was writing!
How are you all deciding on your cake? Do you have any inspiration photos that you're working with? How about for the Groom's cake?! Excited to hear!
