So many fabulous cakes, but I want mine to be different. We even talked about eliminating cake entirely, and serving miniature ice box lemon pies (David’s favorite) and strawberry shortcakes (my favorite), but then he pointed out that we wouldn’t have a top layer to freeze and eat on our first year anniversary. Second only to invitations, a cake can be a starting point for look and feel for your wedding. Here is a sampling of some of my favorites, all from The Knot:
