cake and pictures

Michael and I had the greatest day on Wednesday. We met with our cake designer Q (yes, that's her real name) at Sweet Life. Our plan is to have a two-tiered cake for the wedding party, with two or three sheet cakes for feeding our guests. The flavors we're leaning towards are coconut cake with strawberry mousse or a lemon poppyseed cake with white chocolate ginger mousse. There will also be one or two other flavors on our sheet cakes, but we haven't decided anything yet.

Our inspiration is this topsy-turvy cake.

Some other fun cakes we like are these:

  

After our cake tasting, we went to Portland and had our engagement pictures taken by Rosemary Ragusa. My brother works for her, and it was fun having him at our photo shoot. We went to the Crystal Springs Rhododendron Garden, and it was gorgeous and sunny out- a perfect day for taking pictures. Our photos should be ready in a couple of weeks, and I'm really excited to see them.
