Every cake she picks out has bananas in it, and I do NOT want bananas in a wedding cake! DF & I have agreed on buttercream, fairly plain, but with snowflakes. There's another twist to this that I'll tall you if it goes through.

DF has agreed to a cookie table, though! YEAH!!!! I'll have to make a little pass around, describing what they're all about but it'll be worth it.

Not only did I taste cake flavors before we decided, I made sure my husband did too. He is not a big cake person (ice cream is another story), but it was important that I got something he liked also. Is there any way you can arrange a cake tasting while you are in town doing wedding errands? I agree, bananas do not sound like a yummy cake flavor to me either.

We don't have cookie tables here in Virginia. However, because of our love of ice cream, we had Coldstone come in and serve ice cream! It was a hit with our guests! And it hit the spot since it was unseasonably warm on our wedding date.
