I thought I would post a picture of my daughter's cake.  She spent two years in culinary arts before deciding that it wasn't for her.  She had an AHR after marrying in Bermuda in 2010.  It's a fun cake!  Mabye she will make mine for my vow renewal!

The only part of my wedding that didn't turn out....the cake. 

 

I didn't cry, which I was pretty proud of!

 

I had heard and seen some poor examples of cakes from the resort, so I thought I would keep it simple.

 

I bought butterflies off of etsy from Sugar Robot to decorate my cake.  I had visions of beautiful butterflies flying.

 

Something like this

 

 

 

Unfortunately, the language barrier happened, and when I said "make sure you don't put the butterflies in the fridge", it didn't quite happen.  They got refrigerated, and the condensation made them wilt like soggy bits of paper. The chef guy was pretty upset. He didn't speak english, but he told my friends that spoke spanish it was beautiful beforehand, and the butterflies were flying.  We didn't let us get it down (though I risked bursting into tears for a moment).

 

Top layer was strawberry, bottom coconut both delicious

oh no! that really sucks. poor chef guy probably felt so bad!! I've know what I want for my cake but like you I'm not expecting a whole lot seeing what some people end up getting at their resorts. I'm the type of person to cry about something silly like an ugly cake to so I'm going to try my best to have a "what happens, happens" attitude. People don't usually eat much cake anyways, so fingers crossed lol!

Thanks!

 

That was the upside, the cake was freaking delicious - we demolished it! We had 33 people and we ate at least 2/3 of the cake, if not more.  They brought it to our room the next day and we may have eaten some more
