Yay!!!! We had an appointment in March that ended with two "maybe" on a card in their file. Today was a VIP appointment we booked (charcuterie, sweets, bottle of champagne for her, beverages and a private "just us" visit) and they had pre-pulled a bunch of options based on her chat with a consultant and her Pinterest board. The first one was an "oooh" and then about 5 or 6 more that started to all blend into one another. I pulled the consultants aside and told them if they thought there was "the one" but was above DD's budget, that I'd add to the pot if it was perfect. They pulled one and showed me the tag first and I agreed to the extra  She put it on last (she was told I'd added to the pot) and really liked it. Then I suggested adding the "swoop" type sleeve that drapes around the outside of her arms like another one had, and that pushed it over the top. She went back to try on her top three, then had it down to two. And asked us all our thoughts. Her sister said this one was just that "extra" and her maid of honour and bridesmaid said she was smiling bigger in this one. We have a dress!!! It is so weird being on this side of the fence!!

I bet it looks BEAUTIFUL on her! Stupid question. Are you making the cake? Or not because you wlll be a busy MOB? YES!! There will be a display cake that is mostly styrofoam with a cut-out for them to actually cut the cake, and then we will be doing a sweet table of cookies, cake cups (in really lovely square, clear cups so you see the flavour layers), macaron and such. They are likely having a "stations" kind of reception over a plated dinner. I have a super good friend who is also a cake person (and a guest) and she will have my shop key and will take care of picking it up and taking it to the venue and setting up so I can be mom all day
