TTC After a Loss

Show Me Yours & I'll Show You Mine!

... I'm talking about wedding cakes. I was watching that 4 Weddings show, and then Cake Boss came on, and it made me want cake. But since I am trying not to eat things like cake, I thought I'd like to see some...

Got a picture?

    Please forgive the obnoxious picture of me in the background. It was the first cake picture I found in iphoto. We went with a cupcake cake because it was the only thing that DH asked for. It was an almond cake with a vanilla/almond frosting, decorated with almond/coconut snowflakes. Mmm. I loved my cake!
    After two losses, a rainbow arrived! DD born 11.5.11
    Dx with severe Asherman's syndrome after a botched PP D&C (pursuing med mal)
    Hysteroscopy Oct '13, not enough progress 
    Hysteroscopy Jan '14, given an end-of-the-road diagnosis
    Joined International Asherman's Association April '14 
    Not ready to give up yet.
    Hysteroscopy with Dr. Isaacson (an expert in the USA) 6.2.14: Good prognosis, at least 50% of cavity open.
    Repeat hysteroscopy scheduled with Dr. I on 6.16.14. Great progress. Unbenched!!!!
    Discussing actively TTC with DH after the heartache of the last year. We're both reeling.
     
    Please, please, please.

    So I haven't gotten my professional wedding pics yet, but here is one I found from some guests at the wedding.  The wedding cake was marble with 50/50 cream cheese/ buttercream frosting... the top tier was red velvet.  Then instead of a grooms cake we got a cake for my 3 year old son, chocolate with chocolate buttercream. :)

    I can't remember what the flavors were!  That's terrible!  I know they were delicious.  I think there was hazelnut buttercream and amaretto soaking involved somewhere.  Not really sure though!

    I can't find a picture of the groom's cake.  It looked like a Boston Red Sox hat.  No one ate it because it was too pretty!

  • It's hard to tell from the pic, but it was heart shaped, and had cute sugar paste daisies. I honestly cannot remember what flavors it was though.

    I was so sad someone dropped the first layer and broke the topper, so we didn't get to do the freeze your cake thing, and I don't have the swan topper Sad

    Mine isn't as pretty & elegant as almost everyone else's....I made it 100% myself (with assistance from my mom, 3 sisters (bridemaids), and my Maid of Honor), the morning of the wedding!  Took me allllllll morning.  I spent nearly 5 hours making the cake and only 1 1/2 hours getting ready for the wedding!  It was nuts.  But I'm so very proud of my lopsided cake :)

    It was a marble cake and each layer was filled with a homemade peanut butter cream icing or chocolate icing and mixed with crushed Girl Scout cookies (Tagalongs - first layer, Samoa - second layer, Thin Mint - top layer)  It was DH's idea...and he loved it! lol

    Bottom layer was chocolate fudge cake with ganache filling.

    Next up was french vanilla cake with carmel whip cream filling.

    Next up was almond poppyseed cake with strawberries and bavarian cream filling.

    Top layer was coconut cake with lemon whip cream filling.

     

    It was from a local bakery with all local ingredients and actually vegan and gluten free.  And freakin A.MAZ.ING.
