All-White Wedding Cake
We’ve been featuring a lot of very colorful cakes lately, so I thought it would be nice to showcase a cake that was simple and beautiful.

What did they disagree about? Did she want a ski honeymoon, and he wanted to snorkel off of Baja? Did he want his gal pal as best man? Did she insist on writing their vows, and he didn’t want to mess with it? Or was it something even more important – she wanted vanilla and he wanted chocolate…
Well, we’ll probably never know. But we hope that they worked it out with the same tongue in cheek sense of humor that led them to cast this cute cake topper in a starring role.
And let’s say it all together: Weddings last for a day. Marriages (are supposed to) last for a lifetime.
