I proposed to Leah in August of 2013 - just short of a year later, we were busy putting together a full wedding event. We chose Mohonk Mountain House, which my family has been visiting for several generations, as our venue. One of the more enjoyable parts of the wedding planning was the food tasting at Mohonk back in July, 2014.

Cake Tasting
We were offered standard chocolate and lemon options just to try, but had already requested a custom cake, which you see in the bottom-left. It was a spiced cake (cinnamon & nutmeg) with apple pie filling and maple buttercream. They also brought us a sample of apple jam, which we also liked and asked to be incorporated into the final cake.
