We can't believe how quickly our wedding day is closing in on us. We have been busy planning out the smallest details of our wedding, which can be nerve racking. Who knew we needed to rent a fork? It is definately these little details that have us up to our neck in online research.
Don't get us wrong, as the day comes close we are VERY EXCITED, but we are also nervous that some of these minute details will be overlooked.
C'est la vie!!!

Cake Maker
We have found our cake maker! Our good friend Shannon McCain, will be creating our wedding cake.
We are probably going to be the worst customers she will ever have to work with! Ha ha, hopefully not, but we both have no idea what kind of cake we want. Joel is always giving some wacky idea to Shannon and she is always big eyed at his suggestions, as Joanne is. He has ultimately left it up to Joanne, but she is just as lost as he is.
We plan on going to the drawing boards and giving poor Shannon some kind of reigned-in idea really soon. She is patient with us and we are enjoying being her first wedding cake customers. She does great cakes so we have no doubt in her abilities to make us a fabulous cake.
Her foundation as a graphic designer led to her creativity in the details of cake making and designs. She also does children's birthday cakes, baby showers, any event you can think she can come up with some great idea to blow your guests minds away. We highly recommend her as your next cake maker.
Her contact information is as follows:
