I’m getting ready to start a wedding cake for one of my dearest friends who is getting married next week. I also have absolutely no experience making wedding cakes. Your blog has been invaluable! I’ve also done a ton of research and reading, but you gave it a great real life perspective that is often hard to find in “how to” guides – especially for something as fancy as a wedding cake. You’re my inspiration!

Thanks!

I actually had tears in my eyes reading part 3. I am such a sap. It’s a CAKE! Made by someone I don’t KNOW! For OTHER PEOPLE I don’t know!

Anyhow . . your cake-making (and the telling of the story) are a beautiful tribute to a couple starting their married lives together. You’re right . . .more people should rely on friends and family to contribute in ways like this to their wedding. It seems to be much more meaningful than some dictator wedding planner ordering the hired help around.

I would not have the patience for all the assembly and transport, but am glad you did. It really is wonderful to be a significant contributor to such an event.
My favourite wedding was on Campobello Island. People from all over the smallish island brought dishes for the reception. It was the first time I had broccoli salad, and I went right home after and googled the recipe.

What an awesome cake, and you tell the story well. And Troy is my hero, I could only dream of such help.

Too bad I’m already married (well, not really, just… cakewise, you know?!).
