Groom's Cake - Sarah's Cake Shop

Here's a wedding throwback in honor of Ryan's 30th birthday today!

 

I wanted to surprise Ryan at our Rehearsal Dinner with a customized Grooms Cake.  Maybe I watch too much Cake Boss on TLC, but I wanted to go all out with fondant figurines depicting Ryan playing beer pong (his favorite sport) with the KU Jayhawk (his favorite team) with our two dogs (our babies) as the spectators.  I sketched out my idea and then sought out someone to execute it.  Sarah's Cake Shop had created my sister's wedding cake the year before and, granted, her cake was a traditional three tiered cake...nothing out of the ordinary, I have been obsessed with their cakes and cupcakes every since.  I met with the cake designer there and showed her my sketches and she said, "No problem!"  The day of they delivered to the restaurant ahead of time and it was there waiting for us after rehearsal at the church.  Easy as that!  Check out how it turned out below (It's red velvet, by the way).

I was also lucky enough to have my sister/Maid of Honor order specialized mini red velvet cupcakes and red, white and pink funfetti cake truffles from Sarah's Cake Shop for my bridal shower a few months before.  Let's just say Jessie over estimated the head count and ordered a bit too many... leftover cake truffles for breakfast, lunch and dinner!  YAY!

Make sure you check out Sarah's daily cupcake menu here!  Their blueberry pancake cupcake available on Tuesdays was yummy!  My next proposed conquest...salted caramel available on Fridays!

Happy Birthday, Ryan!
