Cake
has always been an important part of Steve's views on weddings. Maybe it was because
he grew up with an aunt who made cakes professionally that made him set the standard
so high. Our wedding cake was no exception. Our
cake was designed and made by a person who was a professional pastry chef for
many years. He was able to integrate a fun illuminated water fountain into the
cake, which added a nice focal point of activity. Our
cake topper was also very unique. As was mentioned during our wedding, LEGO bricks
are not only fun to build with, but also symbolize a future that you shape with
what elements you are given.

on that theme (no pun intended), Steve worked with some people he came in contact
with via LUGNET.com and the
LEGO Company. A master builder
at LEGO provided Steve with a photo of a sculpture they provide their employees
when they get married. Steve then contacted a professional LEGO builder, Eric
Harshbarger, and contracted him to build the structure from the photo. Steve
didn't have the availability or parts needed to build it in time for the wedding
himself. The end
result was a unique cake topper that symbolized not only a passion for "the
brick" but also a future full of possiblities.
