I'm thinking of ordering a replica of the top tier of our wedding cake for our anniversary. We broke the tradition of saving the top tier and ate it shortly after the wedding. My baker said it would taste kind of funky by the 1-year mark. We kept the top tier in the freezer for a couple of months and then caved. Good thing, though, because it was already kind of tasting "different" at that point.
Our wedding cake baker, Tiers of Joy, offered me these 3 options. All would be in our white chocolate raspberry flavor:
- 6" round plainly iced cake (no decorations) for $15
- Square with candy bamboo only for $45
- Square with candy bamboo and flowers (as shown above) for $55
Seems like a no-brainer, right? I thought so, too, but the thought of having a miniature cake that looks exactly like our wedding day cake is so tempting! My irrational, indecisive bridal wedding planning brain is turning on again! I need help! What do you all think?
***UPDATE: I'm glad I posted this and got some responses. I agree with Dior...it's gotta be all or nothing. That said, I think we'll just do the $15 round non-decorated cake. It's not like we're having a big party or anything for our anniversary. It will just be us, at home. If anything, I can probably go to a flower shop and see if they have any white cushion mums and green button mums and decorate the cake with my own flowers. Even if I did that, I'd put the flowers on, take a picture, and then take them off so we can eat the cake. That just sounds silly. Okay, plain, naked cake it is.

Tough call. But, if you do decide to go with a square cake, you have to go all out and get the flowers as well. :)
That is sooo cool, Nicole. I think it's better to have another cake for your anniversary than eating a year-old cake. I don't think I will be brave enough to eat it! I think my client is going to order their cake from Tiers of Joy too ('cuz they are using D'lish for their catering)!
