Love Like Crazy: CAKE!!

As you know, our cake was very important to me! I picked our cake vendor because her cakes tasted the best, but it just so happens that she's awesome at decorating as well!

First, the pictures of the un-cut cakes...

Perfect. 

A groom's cake any gamecock grad would love!

Tuxedo strawberries. So cute!!

Jeff got an entire cake decorated for his alma mater, and I was craving a little bit of Texas A&M representation for myself. So I found a maroon and white "Howdy" pin from my days as a "Fish Camp" freshman orientation counselor, and it was stuck into the back of the cake, where no one would see it if they weren't looking. Gig 'em Ags!

The DJ played "How Sweet it Is," and we grabbed the knife and cut a small little slice...

We had a fairly big crowd gathered to watch this sugary fun...

And then I got to take a bite (so yummy!!)...

Jeff knew better than to get anything on my face. That would have been grounds for an annulment. ;o) He did, however, give me quite a large bite, which resulted in the following stuffed-mouth face.

And then I gave Jeff a bite (he thought it was yummy too).

Clean faces, yummy cake. Done and done.

The great thing about grooms' cakes is that you get to cut a SECOND cake! So we did!

Again, I got a bite...

And then I gave Jeff one...

Aww, thanks for the cake honey!!

At this point the crowd was voicing their disappointment that neither of us had shoved cake into the other's face. One of my uncles yelled "Come on Katie, get him!" and I just couldn't help myself... I dug my finger into that chocolate icing and smeared it all over Jeff's face. He was shocked!

The aftermath.

Jeff: utter surprise.

Me: utter hilarity.

Sorry sweetie... I couldn't help it. :)

"We need some napkins!!!"

Jeff got cleaned up, and then we handed chocolate-covered strawberries to the anxiously waiting children. They were in heaven! 

I later ate a piece of each kind of cake, and they were so delicious! While we were engaged I heard one too many brides say that they hadn't eaten any of the cake other than that first bite, and that was NOT going to be me! So I ate my slice (white cake with strawberry filling and cream cheese icing), and then I grabbed one from a groomsman who wasn't eating his so I could get a chocolate truffle slice as well. 

Note to brides: eat your cake. It will be yummy, and you'll be glad you did. :)
