J’s friend made our cake and cupcakes. I had previously posted about the desert she made for her sister’s wedding here. We traded some emails back and forth about general ideas, but the design was up to her. We were so happy with how it turned out. She used the font from our invitation as a template for our initials and made cake flags. I was amazed by how it looked.
This was the whole table. I had bought three serving trays at Goodwill and spray painted them red for the cupcakes.
We had two cupcake flavors, ginger peach and chocolate peanut. They were so amazingly yummy. The peach even had real peach slices under the ginger frosting! It was the best cupcake I have ever had.
We cut the cake at around 8. There was no real plan for announcing it. J and I went around and told all our guests that we would be cutting the cake in 10 minutes. The only reason I wanted to do a cake cutting, was that I wanted to make sure I got to see the inside of it. Our caterer took the ribbons from the ceremony and wrapped them around the knife to coordinate for pictures. How awesome was that?
I think my favorite wedding pictures are the series of faces we made while cutting the cake.
1. Surprise at how pretty it was
2. Because we didn’t take the flags off first, the cake came out in two pieces, red through yellow and green through purple.
3. Happiness cause it was so pretty
4. Laughing at the fact that I just picked up the cake with my fingers and now it was stuck to my fingers by the frosting
5. Laughing at J cause she had done the exact same thing
This was the inside of the cake after a professional had cut it. The rainbow colors were so vibrant and perfect!

LOVE!! That rainbow is so vibrant!
Wow, that cake is amazing both inside and out. LOVE the font of the initials. But the colored layers inside is very cool!
OMG. I absolutely love love love love your rainbow-colored cake. :D (I’m a total cake fan so this is my most favorite detail in a wedding.)
The cake was great, so pretty and so tasty.
@jennifer- I was so surprised by the initials! It was so thoughtful of them.
Your cake looked so pretty, and amazing. I want one that is that pretty inside!
