On my wedding day I will throw the cake at my husbands face and it will feel so good

If I make my own wedding cake the above statement will be very true. Depending on the process I might just throw the whole cake.

This is a blog. It is my life. It is the truth or I hope that it will attempt to be. I have a degree in baking and pastry, but there is a reason that I have not attempted a wedding cake, outside of class, up until now. I really hate flat icing cakes. I love ganaching cakes or using chocolate coating. I'd even use fondant before I would flat ice a cake again. Today started out ok. I trimmed the cakes, filled them with blackberry jam, and began the icing process. After 2 hours of icing the cakes I put the cake as it was into the refrigerator about ready to throw the cake off of the deck of my parent's house.

After a break, a slightly rejuvenated me went back to it and fixed it and made it as pretty as I could. As of right now the wedding cake looks worthy of the people I am making it for. It will look even better tomorrow morning when I put on the flowers, unfortunately you will all have to wait till later Saturday or Sunday for the pictures of the final cake as my brother is graduating from college tomorrow. I will be bringing you pictures and the end of the wedding cake saga as soon as I possibly can.

I didn't have my paparazzi with me while I was icing the cake, but I did manage a few pictures so you could see some of the process. I don't want to reveal any pictures of the cake as a whole till it is complete. Stay tuned.

Happy Eating!!!
