Wedding Cake Toppers, and Keepsakes

Hello Brides!  Just a quick update!
Sarah Neuburger of The Small Object has chosen a Craven Home (my post-wedding endeavor) porcelain wood slice to place her gorgeous wedding toppers on ... check it out.  Her cake toppers can be personalized, down to the furriest member of the family.  She also does cupcake toppers too!  I will be posting again tomorrow with the answer to one of my most asked questions.

Happy planning everyone- please keep emailing me!

CAKE!

Our cake was vanilla cake with a layer of dulce de leche and a buttercream frosting (our blades of grass started to melt it was so buttery!). Many of our guests went back for seconds. The cakemakers at Lulu's (Jay and Victor) were great!

For the cake topper... I found two horse models (an "Arabian" stallion and mare) that were marked with the year AC and I were born. I put a little white paper posey by the ear of the mare to give it a little bit of "bride".

Cake in Your Mouth, Not in Your Face

We have AMAZING Baker's Men (Jay and Victor) at Lulu's Bakery in Scarsdale, NY.
Not only do they try their hardest to use organic ingredients and support local sustainable agriculture- their cakes are true works of art and are absolutely heavenly. We clicked with them right away and they did not shy away from our non-traditional wedding cake visions. In my quest to create our farm-chic confection, these two cakes were the ones that charmed me the most.
