Here is Alyssa my daughter with her husband cutting their cake. We had the cake brought to our destination which was approximately 3 1/2 hours away. We had tried the pastry chefs in the local area but we were not having luck with the specific cake we wanted. Remember that if your venue doesn't serve what you would like, have it brought in from another place. It's all good, it's your day after all. Our pastry chef Scott came from The Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in Grand Rapids, MI., and 6 years earlier delivered my oldest daughters cake to her wedding reception. Thank you Scott. He designed a cake to serve 150 people using a vintage theme of rosettes, tiny flowers, and decorations combined with flat and curved discs with different shades of ivory and light gold. The cake was alternating layers of white and chocolate with mousse of the same and fresh raspberries. I still wonder how he does it. The two different flavors allowed guests to select their taste of choice.
