Cake - check, but...

At the same bridal fair (Before I Do) last May 26, we booked our cake supplier - Cherry Blossoms Cakes.

This is the package that we availed:
- 3 layer fondant cake - (can be customized)
- 37 pcs. 3"x3" mini cakes - (can be customized)
- 12 pcs. cupcakes
- 1 faux cake at the top
- 1 topper - (can be customized)

Peso Power: 12,825

Sample photo from their website:

Iba pa dito ung  3 layer fondant cake to use for cake cutting.

We originally planned to give the 37 mini cakes to our Principal / Secondary Sponsors, Flower Girls, relatives and friends. Un na ung souvenirs nila. Then for the rest, isip na lang kami ng iba. Then after mga 1 month siguro, napaisip kami ni Mr. Pea - baka magkainggitan ung mga tao kasi hindi lahat meron mini cakes. Tapos we're thinking na parang kulang kung mini cake lang ang gift namin sa mga sponsors - so baka need pa kami buy ng extra gifts for them. Parang lalo yata napamahal.

Then I saw the websites of Goldilocks and Red Ribbon.

Goldilocks has wedding packages that are really affordable. Here's their Vow Wedding Package (photos grabbed from their website):

Package comprised of:
- 2 layer fondant-inspired mocha wedding cake
- 4 round mini cakes (for sponsors)
- 12 polvoron cakes (for guests)

Peso Power: 6,500

This is their Romance Wedding Package naman:

Package comprised of:
- 3 layer fondant-inspired mocha wedding cake
- 6 round mini cakes (for sponsors)
- 24 polvoron cakes (for guests)

Peso Power: 7,000

I like the Romance Wedding Package. I think it's more sulit na compared sa Cherry Blossoms and hindi na nakakahiya ibigay ung cakes sa sponsors kasi junior size na sya. What I don't like lang sa package na ito is ung colors. I think it's too dull - to think na Colorful ang theme namin. Our cake should be as lively as our theme, don't you think?

Red Ribbon doesn't offer packages but still their cakes are affordable and pasok sa budget pa rin. And for me kasi, I prefer Red Ribbon cakes compared to Goldilocks. Also colors can be customized according to our motif (sa Goldilocks kasi hindi pwede).

Here are some of the cakes na nagustuhan ko sa kanila (photos grabbed from their website):

Precious. Peso Power: 1,900
- height: 8.6"
- fondant
- moist chocolate pound cake with fudgy chocolate filling

Summer Blooms. Peso Power: 4,000
- height: 18.4"
- fondant
- moist chocolate pound cake with fudgy chocolate filling or rich rhumbutter cake with fudgy chocolate filling

Unforgettable Moment. Peso Power: 4,200

- height: 21.4"

- fondant
- moist chocolate pound cake with fudgy chocolate filling or rich rhumbutter cake with fudgy chocolate filling

I also saw Estrel's Caramel Cakes. And sa picture pa lang, mukhang masarap na. I might contact them for quotations kaso nahihirapan ako - lagi busy ung line nila. And ang worry ko dito, they don't deliver kasi. Baka mamroblema pa kami on the day of the wedding kung sino pipick up - or worse, makalimutan pa.

Sample photos from their website:

Maybe I will try na lang ung Estrel's cakes for other occasions, pero sa wedding namin - isip isip pa.

So for now, Mr. Pea and I were thinking to forfeit na lang ung 1k down payment na naibayad na namin kay Cherry Blossoms. Kasi if we compute, for example, kukuha na lang kami ng cake (kahit hindi naman matangkad ok lang sa amin - basta meron for cutting), then buy gifts for sponsors then souvenirs for guests = di kami aabot ng 12,825 (na cost ni Cherry Blossoms).

I'll post na lang next time once we've decided on a final cake supplier na.

Walk down the pink aisle with me...
