Ok, so I know I'm "crazy healthy" and all...
Physique 57 instructor,
organic cookie company founder, workout freak and dairy-free...but I am also in the middle of planning a wedding. And
this is something that I needed to share with you. The pictures could speak for themselves...
...but let me tell you more! After a fabulous kick-off to the celebrations with an engagement party at the
Bowery Hotel this past weekend, we drove out to the
hamptons (yes, in the snow storm!!) to meet with our
wedding planner for appointment, after appointment...after appointment. Things were crammed into one day due to weather conditions so we had to miss out on a few elements this round...one being the ULTIMATE CAKE TASTING. Though we were unable to actually meet with
Miche from
Sacred Sweets, she was kind enough to leave behind a few treats...
ok TOWERS of creamy, silken-ed icing-ed fluffs of gorgeous flavors of cake. Fillings of all tastes and textures. Hazelnut
coquant butter cream; rich
mexican chocolate; sweet
dulce de leche; espresso and coffee
ganaches; elegant almond c
oquant- fancy layers of goodness. Thinking back, our wedding planner actually seriously asked if I wanted a dairy-free or vegan or healthy-of-some-sort cake for our wedding. She found it funny that I thought she was out of her mind! I've heard from our married friends that this was the "fun part", but really?? We died and went to heaven! After cutting into two of the cakes late-night when we first got back, we sat down to a "proper tasting" the following night. Trying to take one bite at a time (with breaths in be
tween) was far from easy! After all of the tastings and all of the discussions, we still do not have a decision. Guess we'll have to
really meet with
Miche to "discuss" further. Looking forward to future bites! Oh, and for those of you freaking out about our wedding being at the height of football season (not to mention names or anything, STEVE) this is a just
another reason to make the trip, stop
pouting and
dvr the games.
