Having our Cake . . .

. . . and eating it too.

Rebecca and I both love the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding - it's a great look at family, breaking tradition, and the joy of an unexpected and unlikely match-up. In fact, this blog was going to be titled "My Big Fat Gay Wedding," until we googled and found out that title was taken (it's a great blog - you can read it here).

One of our favorite scenes is when the two families meet for the first time. The hostess gift is a bundt cake that causes confusion and laughter. We decided quite some time ago that the centerpieces at our commitment ceremony will be bundt cakes, likely with small vases of flowers tucked into the middle. Neither one of us really likes traditional wedding cake, especially with fondant (if you've had really good wedding cake, please tell us about it, because we feel it might be kind of like a unicorn). We've already decided that one of them (I think we'll have five or six altogether) will be a rich chocolate orange cake. The other flavors are as yet undetermined (take the poll to the right!).

Here are some flavors we're considering, but we'd love feedback, suggestions, or recipes.

Lemon poppyseed
Carrot
Red velvet
Confetti
Apple cinnamon
Marble
