I wanted to get some feedback from past ROR brides on their cakes. How did it taste? Did anyone upgrade their cake?

 

It seems like a vanilla cake with strawberries used to be included in the free package but now there is only chocolate and vanilla to choose from. I asked how much to upgrade to a cake with one layer strawberry shortcake and one layer a traditional Jamaican rum cake (which I really don't want but, since my family is Jamaican, everyone else is expecting it) and it was $250.

 

I guess it's cheap as far as wedding cakes go but for 20 people it isn't really worth it. I may just bring a rum cake from home! A family member can make it or I can just buy one for $30 or so. Has anyone done this?

 

Any feedback on their cakes would be helpful!

oh no I was hoping to have a rum cake instead of strawberry. But there is no way I am paying 250.00. My niece's husband's family is from Jamaica and they made the traditional rum cake for their wedding. OMG thats all I can say lol it was amazing. Unfortunatly my neice and I had a falling out so any hope of his family making me a cake is out of the question!

Thanks. I have Shelia's email. That's who gave me the quote. I've been reading that some people seemed to get a cake that wasn't chocolate or vanilla without asking for it so maybe that will happen. I'm still considering bringing a rum cake though.

Hi

I had the caprice package and chose the chocolate cake. It was fine as cakes go. It was the standard one included in the package and there was plenty for 18 people. I wouldn't upgrade though I don't think they are worth it. I think they will add rum if you ask.

We made up for it when we got back home at our reception, and had a 3 tier proper cake, bottom layer chocolate, second tier carrot cake and top tier fruit cake. It was shapped like 3 suitcases and was lovely!

I just got back from ROR and my wedding was August 8, 2009. Nikki gave me the choice of just either chocolate or vanilla or both. I chose both, 2 tiers were chocolate and 1 tier was vanilla. The frosting is a buttercream and to my surprise the cake was actually very good. Usually wedding cakes don't taste too great but this was a pleasant surprise. Don't waste your money to upgrade, I had 42 people at my wedding and it was plenty. Good luck!

Hi you can check this out:

As for some advice, try to meet with the wedding planners asap! Go to the Photo Shop immediately right after. Do not upgrade your cake it's not worth the $. Do choose the extra white runner, it added such an elegant touch to the wedding. Also if the planners change things on you, expect it. They change the restaurant on me from Mammee Bay to Plantation. Make sure you remind them to give you breakfast in bed cause they forgot ours. Remind the people are you entitled to the free room upgrades with your package. Good luck and have fun, remember it's your day and who cares if things don't go perfect , trust me noone will notice! They will just notice you , Take care

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
