The Wedding Cake
I found this picture in In Style Weddings by Sarah Magid about a month after we got engaged, and I was instantly smitten!
Inspiration:
The baker and I only talked about a few changes: using our wedding colors (purple flowers and light blue dragee for the flower centers), and adding some icing pearls on each tier. I was thrilled with the result!
Our Wedding:
The Cake Topper
Yes, you saw it in the picture above. It's turtles. Our turtle was our first pet together, so it has a special place in my heart. I stumbled across Tiffani Schreiner on Etsy, who makes custom cake toppers. At the time, she had made up some adorable turtles out of polymer clay. I immediately emailed her to set up a custom order!
Yum, check out that cake!

Tiffani and I emailed back and forth a few times about different options for personalizing our cake topper, like eye color and veil/top hat. She even matched the flowers on the cake perfectly!

Our Wedding:
The Groom's Cake
I kept the groom's cake a total surprise from the groom...right up until someone told us how much they loved it as soon as we walked into the reception. Oops! Anthony works for IBM on Linux, so I found this picture of the Linux mascot (Tux the penguin) in a blue IBM suit.
