So another weekend in Michigan hath passed, which means another weekend of driving 'til your ass is glued to the seat is over and done with. This time our Wedding Planning Adventures took us deep into the depths of the baking world as we tried to find a suitable wedding cake. Deonna was dragged recruited to help in our search, which took us all the way to Lake Huron... for fricking baked goods!!
In the end our search was laborous yet fruitful. Out of 3 stops we found only one that was even worth our time. One of the "No Way" bakeries included a guy who A) couldn't shut up to save his life, and B) Showed us magazine pictures instead of his own cake designs. The last stop involved pictures of cakes that were at least two decades old... cake that was cheaper than dirt, but overall looking as though they had been beated with an ugly stick.
The middle one -- the textbook husband/wife team working from their own home -- was fantastic to say the least. While a little more expensive than what we were looking for, the added security of knowing we won't have to worry about anything was a BIG bonus. The search is still on-going, but we may have found our cake. :-P
Next week's story possibilities -- Will it be strings, brass or an accordion for the ceremony? Will the couple have to rent a private jet to fly from appointment to appointment? Will Batman and Robin escape from the evil clutches of The Penguin?
