Let them eat cake!

When we first started the whole wedding planning thing, we had thrown around the idea of having a Cold Rock ice cream cake as our wedding cake. Firstly, I have long enjoyed the supermarket freezer section ice cream cakes that were a cornerstone to the Maccas birthday party, and liked the fun element of having a chocolate chip cookie dough flavoured ice cream wedding cake. Secondly, many of our dates have ended with a Cold Rock cup and a walk along Terrigal Beach, so it was a nice touch.  

However, in the same way as there are people who do not enjoy pizza as much as The Flash and I, there are also people who do not share our affection for ice cream and in turn ice cream cake. 

So The Flash has engaged a family friend who is an AMAZING cake maker, to come up with a Wonder Woman and The Flash type of cake. He made this fantastic Bash Car cake for my father-in-law's 70th birthday last year.  

Originally, we were looking at two separate cakes, one for each superhero. Just a square or circular cake, with the Wonder Woman and The Flash symbol on top. As has been the theme of the wedding, nothing too fancy, just tasty, tasty cake and lots of it. 

One of the most important elements of the cake, the flavour was hotly debated. While we felt a sense of obligation to have two separate flavours of cake, we have decided that neither of us want to be represented in cake by anything other than chocolate mud cake. I do not want my family and friends to judge me, thinking that I have actively sought to have a vanilla cake! Chocolate is who I am! :) So chocolate X2 is on the menu. 

Secondary to the flavour, is what the cake looks like. 

A google search of Wonder Woman cakes returned some awesome images.

On The Flash side of things, I found these:

The Flash has been working with our cake maker, and he in turn has been inspired by some half and half, two tiered creations which combine the two, like this one from Bake A Wish on Flickr:

At the end of the day, as long as we have cake, we are happy! We trust him and feel excited to see what he comes up with!  Watch this space for the final wedding cake!
