Wedding Day 9: The Cake

If you know me at all then you know I only like Chocolate Cake. Therefore our wedding cake was chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Just as I had always dreamed and just the same as I like my birthday cakes. When Aunt Tammy and I went to order the cake and I requested chocolate/chocolate the baker looked at me like I was a little nuts.

We opted for a two tier cake for our traditional cake cutting but served a Fudge Chocolate Cake and  Carrot Cake to guests. All of which was transported in our u-haul with us from Amarillo.

When Drew and I went to do the traditional cutting of the cake somehow we managed to break the knife and had an "Uh Ho" moment for guests to witness. Luckily my quick thinking husband managed to use the blade to get us a little piece to feed one another.

The only glitch of the entire wedding came at the time to serve cake to our guests. We had instructed for the Chocolate Fudge and Carrot cakes to be altered amongst the guests with no one getting the wedding cake. I quickly saw my attendants being served wedding cake and gave Aunt Tammy a look of what is happening. She quickly ran over to see the error on behalf of the servers and alerted the management on staff. Turns out someone, our wedding planner, forgot to tell them to set our 8 boxes of cake out of the freezer to thaw so they could be served. Guests didn't quite know there was a problem until an announcement was made about the delay. Although the cakes were served colder and a little more frozen than we had intended everyone still enjoyed themselves.

We didn't get to eat any cake during the reception as I was getting more and more uncomfortable in my corset dress. We were both ready to leave the excitement of our guests and relax as newlyweds. We had a beautiful sparkler exit where for some reason I decided to carry my train over my shoulder and my new husband lent me his jacket to weather the cold as we ran the 50 feet to our honeymoon suite. On our way out we asked Aunt Tammy if she could send us some cake over! Thankfully she did and we snacked away on chocolate cake and champagne!
