When I met with this couple for their consultation, the groom CLAIMED that he didn't really care about the specifics, the one thing he DID want was 5 layers. However, as we discussed things, he ACTUALLY cared about, and had an opinion about EVERYTHING! And the funny thing was that it almost always seemed to be DIFFERENT than the brides! She made the comment at one point, "Honey, we're just on opposite ends of the spectrum on this one!" It took about an hour and a half, but we finally met on some common ground and decided on a cake design that seemed to meet both of their expectations. The ribbon was an eggplant color with just a hint of sparkles on it. I loved it, and thought the cake turned out pretty well. I never got to hear the couples opinion of it - I hope they liked it!
