049 - Sweet !!!

Mr. Poodle's mom "B" has being soo helpful and supportive on this “sometimes kind of weird” planning process. I think I would still be "google-ing" every wedding related term if it wasn’t because the day after Mr. Poodle told his family we were getting married, she sent me:

- The Wedding Book by Mindy Weiss and Lisbeth Levine
- and tons of bridal magazines(yay!)Those are actually the only ones I have.

Anyway on my last trip to California, long before Mr.Poodle and I thought about getting marry, I saw that B had a really cute photo album with tons of wedding cake pictures on it. I was very surprised that she actually bake them and REALLY impressed with every cake she has on her album portfolio (I think I should make her a web page portfolio soon, cause she’s amazing! What you think B?)

So the first image that pop to my head when I first thought about cakes was, of course, HER album!! And yeah Mr. Poodle said it before me, he wanted to ask her to bake the cake, so it was perfect!!!

I know how great she is so I wasn’t even worried about looking at cake pictures, plus lately I’ve been just focusing on trying to finish the cake topper (Link) But last night I thought to myself! :o hey!! Come on Miss Poodle.. You need to at least give her ideas!! That came to my mind after being so mad at a client that told me that she loved so much all my Web Designs, so she’ll just leave it up to me, not giving me any clue of what she wanted. All the sudden the B’s wedding cake portfolio came to my mind -> Ohh!! Noo I’m doing the exact same thing to her!! :O

I know I would love whatever she makes, but I just don’t want her to be mad at me because I’m leaving everything up to her lol.

So here's my inspiration wedding cake:


Ok, so this one is not on my favorites as a cake - I want something more rustic, but I loved the firefighter ♥ ( In case you don't know that's Mr. Poodle's job) I really loved the cakes form Pink Cake Box (link) they have a great gallery.

Now this one, I had to post just because It has climbers!!! Just like our cake topper, but in our case I would rather have a normal cake with just the toppers.

Now lets focus on the cakes not the toppers :) I've been researching over rustic cakes. The first thing I notice was that cigars are HOT on the wedding cake industry now :) and... I LIKE IT!!

But, I'm afraid it can turn in to a too dramatic cake, because there's going to be so much going on, with the cigars and Mr.Poodle climbing there with me on the top :D So I looked over nice softer textures.

And some plane cakes too with lil blossoms ( Just like my origami ones yay!) This are awesome :)

    OH The firefighter cake is sort of what we are doing. We are having the fire truck be the cake and the firefighter, the bride and the ladder out of clay. We are also having it be a cupcake stand that he is climbing towards. We wanted to add our kids into it also. So Sissy the cat is going to be hanging on to the side of the ladder. Buster the Lab is going to be on the top of the cake with me looking at his daddy and rocky the pit bull is going to be on the fire truck. They also are going to be made of clay so we can also keep them.
    I also found an awesome bamboo cake that a few of your other ones reminded me of which was also made by pinkcakebox! Their cakes are amazing!

About this blog


I am a Spanish speaker and I started this blog as a way to learn English, I was blogging from Chile while we waited on our Visa process so I could move to California and we could have our green and purple wedding. So a big portion of this planning happened while we were still dating long distance.
