Cake Tasting

Yesterday, Christopher and I went cake tasting, trying to find the person who can make my perfect cake, but within our budget. First we went to a place in Pasco. Upon pulling into our parking space, we had to rush into the bakery in fear that we might get shot. JOKING. They had something called Tres Leches, or in English, Three Milks. It was VERY good. The best that Christopher, who served his mission in Mexico, has ever had. They also had german chocolate, chocolate, coffee cake, and carrot cake. Which were all right. They were a little dry. I wasn't LOVING the cake or their cake designs.

So we moved on to the next bakery. This brought us to a little place in Richland. We pulled up to the address that they had given us only to discover that no body was home. The building was empty, there were giant disgusting rodents of unusual size creeping around corners and along the walls, and I'm pretty sure there were a few dead bodies. Needless to say, we didn't think they made good cakes so we moved on to the next bakery.

This found us in downtown Kennewick, were once again we had to rush inside in fear of being shot.

We walk into this cute little cupcake/cake/deli shop. You're probably thinking exactly what I was thinking. Weird combination. But anyways... we walk to the counter and ask for Mellie, the woman who owns this adorable little shop. As we're waiting for her, Chris found a cute cake topper. They were eggs dressed up with fondant made to look like a bride and groom. He was playing with them, making them talk to each other. As he's doing this Mellie finally comes out, sees him playing with them, walks over to the counter, rips them out of his hands, and says, "These aren't toys." HAHAHAHA. A few seconds later, he leans over and says to me, "She seems very angry with me." It was priceless.

So here we were tasting these cupcakes and I have to tell you, they melted in my mouth. They were absolutely the most delicious things I'd ever tasted. Mellie brought some red velvet, double chocolate, white, Madagascar white.. and so many others. She brought out a double chocolate cupcake filled with her own raspberry filling. As my taste buds were thanking me and worshiping Mellie, I knew our search was over. Now I'm not going to tell you exactly what flavors we got because that would just ruin the surprise, but I will tell you that you and your taste buds will be thanking me and worshiping Mellie as well.

Since today is positiv gorgeous and Mama and Papa Baer are in California, we(Christopher and I) taking the girls, getting sandwiches, picking up some cupcakes(YAYY!!!) and heading to the park for a fun filled day.

For the past week or two my priorities have been out of whack. I've been too caught up in planning my wedding. This includes spending time and money going to useless bridal shows, planning when I should be working, and worst of all, not giving Chris the love and attention he deserves. The control freak in me comes out and I start thinking of all the things that aren't planned yet. The honeymoon, flowers, guest list, engagement pictures, DJ or band, no videographer, no bridesmaid dresses, no passport or visa, haven't started registry yet, haven't started dance lessons, and I haven't reserved the tuxedos. So then, I get all stressed out and I feel like pulling my hair out.

But I started thinking this morning, "Does any of this really matter?" Is it THAT important? So today, I'm turning off my brain and having fun.
