We went to visit the baker today at Cakes Houston. We LOVE Francisco! He's amazing. AND his prices are even more amazing! My cake also comes with a complimentary groom's cake. We are going to book our cake through him. In honor of looking for our cake today, here's part 2 of what I started earlier. I showed the baker 3 cakes I like. I'll show you guys which ones I showed him.

I love the decor around this cake. I think we will do our last name instead of "amore".

I LOVE this cake! I love how the cakes are side to side like that.

This is one of the cakes I showed the baker. I love the designs. The stripes and swirls are so pretty and fun.

I also showed him this one. I love these stripes.

I also showed him this one. It classic and pretty. And I like the monogram being on the cake.

I'm sure Fransisco will do an amazing job on my cake. I'm so ready to see how it's going to come out.

It is almost 4am and I'm wide awake! Don't ask.... I've been wanting to post about my cake ideas for some time now, but I knew it would take a while. Especially the way you have to upload pix on here. They should come up with a better way! I have about 10 cakes that I love and would like to somehow come together as my own. As I always do, here are the pics and what I like about them! I'll start with what I like about the round cakes, though I want a square cake.

I love the simplicity of this cake. The ruffle thing really adds a little {very LITTLE} POP.

I also love the simplicity of this cake. What I like the most are the ridges.

I LOVE the dots on this cake!!! But I also like that the base tier is square and the top layers are round.

I like the swirly designs on this cake and the alternating shapes.

I also like these swirlies, but I like the way the squares change directions instead of alternating shapes.

This is only half of my cake ideas. I could have finished the post, but I wanted to save some for later. Plus, I thought that this would be too long of a post. All of these cakes were found on The Knot. The next cake post will consist of my square cake inspiration and the decor that I really want for my cake table!!! Stay tuned!
