the search for the Cake - Yummy Piece of Cake

I've learned my lesson. When it comes to wedding cakes, it's better if it's in smaller pieces (read: cupcakes and mini cakes) than a tiered one. We were given a fondant 2 tiered cake as a gift on our civil wedding more than 2 years ago. We were awfully grateful for the cake, its very pretty and because we didn't bother to get one ourselves. However, weeks after the wedding, the cake is still there. It would have been better if we had it served and consumed it on the day it was given.

Fast forward to present time, the package that we have with our caterer doesn't come with a cake. And I'm hell-bent in making sure that this wedding cake will be enjoyed and consumed by all. I already have a design in mind, all I need is someone to execute it for me (with the right price).

Yummy Piece of Cake is a w@w find. I've been ogling her creations for quiet some time and for me, they are all perfect. I found out (through her flickr profile) that Yummi Castrillo (the proprietor) is not only a cupcake baker but a lawyer too. She also definitely has an eye for aesthetics. Her creations are simply divine.

I'm posting here some of her works and I must say, I totally LOVE this first set. :)

I've communicated with Ms. Yummi regarding cake cost but unfortunately I have to wait 8 months before the wedding for me to get an actual quote for my cake. I inquired more than a year before the wedding and I completely understood that prices for this year may not apply for next. Still, I'm already excited!
