SELECTED: Cake Maker

It was just recently Richard's friend Evan, our hockey buddy, got married to Flora on an Alaskan cruise.
During the post-wedding celebration with friends, I finally got to chat with Flora one-on-one. We discussed her wedding and my wedding planning. When we got to the discussion of wedding cakes, it was then that I found out that she's a pastry chef at Sutton Place Hotel. Flora offered to make our wedding cake!

It was amazing! Nothing beats having a friend make your wedding cake!

Basic starting details:
5 tiers
round cakes
royal icing (no fondant)
3 classical flavours
Swarovski Crystal Wedding Bears

As for the look and appearance of the cake...time for us to start googling and checking out wedding magazine for ideas on how we would like the cake to look. At the same time, besides a simple and clean design for the cake, we'll probably leave it to Flora and let her have a free artistic hand at the creation of the cake.
