Unfortunately, Jeremiah Fisher May Have Been Right About This Key Wedding Detail in "The Summer I Turned Pretty"

Over the course of the wedding-planning process, you and your partner may determine that there are different details that are important to each of you. For example, while you may want a high-energy band that will keep all of your guests on the dance floor for hours, your significant other may dream of installing interactive food stations. Depending on your budget and aesthetic, both of you will likely be forced to make certain compromises when it comes to your big day. Such is the case for Belly Conklin and Jeremiah Fisher, two characters on The Summer I Turned Pretty who are currently in the midst of planning their nuptials.

In the most recent episode of the hit show, Jeremiah's dream wedding cake—a two-tier dark chocolate cake with a raspberry coulis filling and a mirror glaze on top—is revealed. However, when his fiancée, who is played by Lola Tung, inquires about the cost of such a confection while visiting a local cake designer, she's quickly taken aback by the $750 estimate that's given to her. According to Nicole Redd-McIntosh, the owner of Nicole Bakes Cakes, that's likely what such a creation would typically cost in the real world.

Due to their tight budget, Belly is reluctant to spend the money on the dessert. "We can't afford a cake from that place," she tells Conrad, Jeremiah's brother, after visiting the store. "So, I guess we'll just get a sheet cake from Stop & Shop." Conrad, who is played by Chris Briney, quickly pivots, suggesting that the couple opt for just one tier, skip the mirror glaze, and select milk chocolate icing instead. He even offers to pick the dessert up himself so that the two don't have to pay for the delivery charge. Belly seems relieved by this alternate plan, but her fiancé doesn't share her feelings. "Look, the whole flavor profile depends on the bitterness of the dark chocolate and the sweet tartness of the raspberry," Jeremiah, who is played by Gavin Casalegno, says in response to the proposal. "The cake is my one thing, and you said that each of us get one thing."

While Belly and Conrad may have been frustrated with Jeremiah's response, the groom-to-be may have been right about his preferred cake. "Mirror glaze cakes are trend-forward for sure," Redd-McIntosh says. "I have seen fellow cake makers glaze full three-tier cakes with mirror glaze." She adds that such a design element can add shine—and even a bit of sparkle—to your confection. However, she also notes that it may not be appropriate for an outdoor celebration in the heat of summer, like the one Belly and Jeremiah are currently planning. "I would say mirror glaze cakes do best in cooler weather or indoor receptions with air conditioning," she says,
