One of the reasons we booked with the Elkridge Furnace Inn was because they took care of so many of the details for us. One of those details being the cake.
We waited until 2 weeks before our wedding to sit down with Elkridge to do our cake tasting and final meeting. We were probably their longest meeting ever because as is our style (we got off on random tangit stories and ridiculous quotes like "marriage is betrayal" from my Opa this spring). At least we make wedding planning fun, right?
When we arrived for our meeting, Elkridge had three cakes for us to try. A traditional pound cake with a raspberry filling, carrot cake with an apple filling and chocolate cake. From the beginning, I always wanted a red velvet cake. Needless to say my heart was set and I was happy because this cake is nut-free and one of my bridesmaids could eat it.

Now that we had our type of cake and icing determined, we moved on to layers and details. I love my mom, but she is not good with lots of options. After limiting her to a few options, we decided that a round, centered, 4 layer cake would be best. Sorry mom, we'll have a tiered 1980's Princess Diana style cake at your 50th wedding anniversary.
