Cake Flavors

[dee slack]

I say, eat whatever you want on your honeymoon, just don't eat a ton of it. I've even had them bring a takeout box with the meal so I could put half of what was on my plate in the box just to keep myself honest!

what a great idea - might have to see if I can summon the strength to that that, instead of having to eat everything that's in front of me (I blame my parents 'there's kids starving in Africa and you're leaving all that?!')

Anyways, back to that delicious cake - do you have to ask them to box up the leftovers, or will they do it automatically?

Well im a custom so it may be different, but i asked my wedding planner to box my remaining cake and have it ready for us when we leave - we have a coach for transportaion to the resorts and dessert party otherwide i could have had it dfelivered back to my room.

thanks Laura. Do you mean you could ask for it to be delivered back to your hotel room for you? That would be great for us, as we'll be having dinner at 1900 PF, then wishes cruise so it would be a hassle to carry it round with us!!!!

Sorry, slightly OT:
How did you get the DDP? I was told that since our room is booked with our wedding discount we aren't allowed to get it. They said you have to book a MYW package. Not even just buy 1 day tickets like I had heard previously, but actually book the room and ticket package at rack rate. Is that what you did?

I got the DDP and I'm using the discounted tickets. You have to pay for regular rack rates, or go with whatever special they are running, and only got one day MYW tickets. Unfourtunatly, you can't use the discounted room rates...but you get the DDP and that saves LOADS of $$$$! And with all the food that comes with! Well, hope that helps.

Thanks! I can't give up our room discount because we are at the Contemporary and it's a great amount of money that we're saving. I guess maybe we'll try to get the DDE and get the AP rate. At least then we can save 20% of TS meals.

Just thought I'd let you all know that Tanis my wedding coordinator has told me that Intimate brides ARE allowed 2 different flavours for the 2 layers, WOO HOO! Not costing any extra either, now I just need to decide which two flavours for each layer....

that's great! Thanks for letting us know, altho' I now have to start thinking again, as I'd already chosen one flavour/filling!

thats the great thing about cake layers.

we had chocolate cake with strawberry filling, vanilla cake with strawberry filling & marble with chocolate filling.

we originally wanted the peanut butter with the marble but it was to jiffy for dh & the passion fruit with the vanilla but it was to puckery for me.

Ok to help me decide which 2nd flavour to choose, I need to know if you can choose to cut and serve the bottom layer (Intimate). As there will only be 6 of us, it makes sense to use the larger layer while everyone is there, and take the smaller one back for later. If you can do it this way, I will choose a fairly plain flavour that suits everyone and save the almond/amaretto just for us! Does anyone know approx how many slices you get from the top layer, and how many from the bottom (20 altogether, right?)

Hi Dee

To be honest I always thought that we did cut the bottom layer? The top layer is supposed to be saved for your anniversary, but as we're from Britain that wont be happening as we can't take it back anyway. I told Tanis that we intended to cut the bottom layer and keep the top layer for later on in the vacation, she said no problem . Have I completely misunderstood you?.....I seem to think maybe I have

They will cut and serve the bottom layer, as Summer-Caitlin said, they save the top layer for you to have on your first anniversary (or any other time if you can't save it). The bottom layer is the one they serve at the reception. I guess you can specifically request that they do the top layer instead, but it sounds like you'd prefer the bottom layer to be served anyway. Hope this helps!

 

[dee slack]

thanks for confirming that we can cut and serve the bottom/larger layer then save the top/smaller for later. Now to choose the 2nd flavour combination yum yum!

We had a 4 layer cake and we chose:

Almond Cake w/ Amaretto Mousse
Marble Cake w/ Raspberry Mousse and chocolate shavings (IT WAS AMAZING)
Chocolate Cake w/Peanut Butter AND Chocolate Mousse

I have to say our cake was raved about over and over. I gave the leftovers to my family (who are apparently huge pigs) and I guess the night after our wedding, they all had a bit too much to drink and at about 1am were grabbing fists full of my cake and chowing down. LOL You can't go wrong with these flavors. YUM!!
