Cake Inspiration
We pretty much have no requirements for the cake, other than it be absolutely delicious. Since our venue has an amazing Viennese dessert hour, with a huge assortment of desserts, a flambe station, and (I think) a chocolate fountain. With all of that going on, we want to pick an elegant cake that can hold it's own and still blend in seamlessly with our theme.
I'm just collecting pictures of cakes that caught my eye, whether they be elegant or eye-catching. If we find a few we love, we might even be able to pick on over-the-top one for our rehearsal dinner.

CAKE ALERT.
So we met with the venue, who provides the cake. Since they do it for free, it's not that extravagant or cool--just a pretty traditional wedding cake. Meh.
So this is a close picture to what we'll have. It's a square staggered tier design, which we thought was modern and funky. It will have a Swiss Dot design on each layer (I freaking love Swiss Dots for no real reason), so this makes me inordinately happy. Then each layer will have a ribbon on the bottom edge.
We haven't decided whether to do alternating ribbon colors or to do a black cake with pink dots. Who knows?

Cake Topper
What I AM totally excited about is the cake topper.
Somehow, we ended up with a mini-motif of pictures--photo booth, invitations and now this. It fits, since we're vain. Originally, I bought a double ring cake topper which was really lovely, but I felt I was missing out by not having the traditional B&G. I have no idea why I was so attached to this idea, but I was.
This guy was perfect. The couple looks remotely like us and it fits the "theme."
