Including guests, 1,000 people will attend the meal. Of particular interest to Brenda is the individual, custom dessert cakes to be made for each guest. When reserving for the meal, invited guests were asked to choose one of three flavors of cake for dessert: French vanilla garnished with vanilla beans, Godiva liquor-infused chocolate cake, or a floral liquor-infused cake served with edible flower petals.
