Cakes and Chocolate Fountain


One of the things that make weddings sweeter is the wedding cake and the chocolate fountain. Wedding cakes vary from styles and designs. Before, the most common style of wedding cakes are the ones that have 3 layers with a miniature of the bride and groom placed on the top layer. Cakes may be just plain chiffon, pure moist chocolate or depends on the couple's preference.

A new addition to weddings nowadays is the chocolate fountain. It's an overflowing chocolate that looks like a water fountain. I guess that's why it's called a chocolate fountain. Chocolate fountains usually ranged from PHP1000-2000 depending on how many kilos of chocolate you prefer.

For our wedding, the chocolate fountain was already packaged with the wedding cake. Our wedding cake was a mixed of chiffon, moist chocolate, and melon. The center cake was 2 layes with a little water fountain at the bottom of the 2-layered cake and then there were 7 islets of cakes surrounding it. There's also a miniature of a wedding couple on the top most layer. And the islets were decorated with fresh flowers on top. (See picture on the left)

And they don't just look delicious on the picture, they really are delicious! yummy!!!

Well, that's all for now. Ciao!

The Bridal Gown

One of the most important details in a wedding that should be given more time and consideration is the Bridal Gown and the Groom’s attire. For practicality’s sake, most Bride and Groom nowadays prefer to rent their wedding attires from local gown stores in town as first users while some people, those who have more budget, wanted to have their attires kept as a remembrance or a token of this special event that will only come once in their life.

Looking for designs for my wedding gown was quite a challenge for me. Yes, there were lots of wonderful designs over the Internet but the question is, does the design look good on me when I wear it? Can the modist do the job? Can he exactly make the design that I want? Is it feasible and affordable? I keep on asking myself those questions and then finally, gave up on the idea. All I wanted was the gown to be simple but would look good on me, a long white gown with a lot of bead works, tube-type and a long veil. I suddenly started browsing through shops on their ready made gowns, thinking of buying the gown for my own remembrance.
