We were in Miami a couple of weeks ago and decided to use the opportunity to take part in our favorite wedding planning tradition: the cake tasting.  Our catering package with Grove Isle includes a wedding cake, and we can choose from three different vendors.  Christine’s sister is a fan of Edda’s Cake Designs, and since they had a location in Coral Gables we thought it was a good place to start the search.

When we arrived we were greeted by Grace, who got is started with some giant binders full of cake designs as the samples were being prepared.  She came back a few minutes later with a tray of about 10 different samples, with flavors ranging from the mundane to the exotic.  They are known for their vanilla rum cake, which we found to be subtle and delicious.  Their amaretto flavor was a favorite among Christine and her sister, with it’s velvety smooth and rich taste.  I personally was a fan of the guava cake, as I am partial to fruity desserts and I thought it fit the tropical locale.  All of their cake was incredibly moist and our consultant Grace was pleasant to deal with.

Which flavor did we choose?  What will the cake look like?  You’ll have to wait till the wedding to find out!
