We had a marvelous tasting with both Lauren’s and Erik’s parents and Lauren’s special Aunt and Uncle. Wonderful conversations and many answered questions later, Lauren 
and Erik selected our yellow cake and signature white chocolate buttercream for the bride’s cake. The design featured handmade edible pearls and tiers of gorgeous hydrangeas in the most beautiful colors I have ever seen. The coordinating floral arrangements on each table were dramatic and beautiful. We couldn’t help but notice University of Tennessee shakers in each guests’s chair.( yes, we are UT graduates too. ) Part of Erik’s Norwegian heritage is a Kransekake. It is 18 layers of an almond confection that is offered at special celebrations- particularly weddings. I accepted the challenge and was humbled to hear that the family members from Norway approved! For the individual cakes that Lauren and Erik wanted in order to celebrate their Greek affiliations while at college, Lauren chose a butterscotch cake with her Delta Delta Delta logo and Erik chose his cake with the Sigma Nu logo. For Erik’s cake we had a special form made and decorated it to match the look of Lauren’s cake. The cake form lifted up to reveal three pecan pies. Yes! Erik got to have his favorite pies and decorum got to have “her” matching look!
