Here is a thing I whipped up a bit yesterday and then poked around on after work. Nowhere complete, wholly random compositional test. But tell me what you think! https://soundcloud.com/hail-the-jester/metalchoirtest-1

Virgin Black, from Australia. Only 4 albums, but fucking spectacular. Best female guitar player I've ever heard too.

No, not symphonic metal bands, but oddly enough I was listening to NOMAD today and exactly you popped into my head. Check it out. It's symphonic in a special kind of why that uses sounds. Let me know what you think. Before you write it off. Think about how you would make similar sounds, and who would play the Didgeridoo. Take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLu9GmV2 vF0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRBCzUPDUVA and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiR1 qT8 ouGI. These are symphonic in a sense that hand around a didg which requires circular breathing to play well

My fiance and I just went with ABC. They were great to work with, large selection, and prices were great. I would definitely check them out.
bluesoul replied:
Cake Fetish on Menaul & Louisiana did our wedding cake and they did excellent work. Highly recommend.
deefee replied:
One of my friends does all sorts of specialty cakes and cupcakes and they are always beautiful and delicious (I'm speaking as the lucky recipient of serveral varieties of her cupcakes). Her name is Jo Anne Eller and she is local here in ABQ. Try searching FB with #jellercakes as she always tags her creations as such and you can see some of her stuff.
bright_and_shiney replied:
Thanks all! I'll check these suggestions out! Sidenote, has anyone heard of Small Cakes? Located at Louisiana and San Pedro..
nipoez replied:
[Nothing Bundt Cakes](http://www.nothingbundtcakes.com) makes delicoius stuff. I hunt them down any time I go to a local farmers market or food fair. I don't know if they do a stereotypical wedding cake. [NM Pie Company](http://nmpiecompany.com/) is even farther from a traditional wedding cake. Their baked goods are fantastic. Frankly, they've been the final justification for going to a particular farmers market or food fair more than once. I don't have firsthand experience with any traditional wedding cake bakeries.
