Now They Can Eat Cake!

With our VIC (very important cake) flavor settled on, the Mister and I felt ready to do our full cake tasting.
As a recap, we selected the amazing Premier Pastry based on their fabulous red velvet cake!

Our next step: The Box.

Inside this little bakery box, lays 6-slices of sweet and sinful....



3 coco creations and 3 white wonders!
First up - Chocolate Praline Torte...
The texture was to die for! The cake was rich and moist, the center filling was creamy with a soft crunch from the praline-carmel candies and the butter cream... I die.

The second and third slices were delectable but that praline lingered on our palettes and in our minds.
The Mister and I agree, the Chocolate Praline Torte was the winner!
A few sips of champagne (we wanted to see if the champagne at the wedding will pair well with cake... it does!) and we were ready for the whites.
Even though I am obsessed with red velvet, white and vanilla cakes are typically what I prefer so this was going to be good!
We started with the Chambord Gateau...

It is beautiful! White cake, soaked in Chambord raspberry liquor with a raspberry cream filling. I love the look and the taste of this cake! The Mister liked it but wasn't sold.
Next was the White Wedding...

Vanilla cake with vanilla butter cream. You could see the flecks of vanilla bean throughout the cream. It was wonderful but this time, I wasn't sold.
Our final slice was Raspberry Almond Torte...


White cake with a layer of raspberry, almond meringue and butter cream. Oh yes, this has winner potential!
We know the red velvet and chocolate praline torte are in. There are a few more flavors (orange pound cake with Grand Marnier cream, fresh strawberry torte and lemon gateau, are you serious!!!) I want to try before we settle.
Next up, narrowing down the cake design!
What flavors are you going with for your wedding cake? Go ahead and make us drool!!
