Beautiful Wedding
Entirely tired and grateful that the wedding is over – at least as far as I am concerned. The kids may still be there dancing away, I don’t know. I spent a couple days making a wedding cake and we demolished that thing in less than 10 minutes. This is the first wedding cake I’ve done since I left the bakery. It came together very nicely.
I think it may have been the best tasting cake I have ever made. After my conversation with the bride about the flavors she wanted I tested out a number of things. Banana cake was new to me, but it turned out beautifully. I also kind of “invented” a filling for the white cake. It was white chocolate almond ganache. And I used some vanilla bean paste in it. Oh! Yum! So of the six tiers two were chocolate with crème de mint filling. Two were white cake with white chocolate almond filling and the last two were banana cake with butter cream filing.
Once I got my knives on that cake it came apart easily and away we went. I cut that cake up and hubby helped and we demolished that thing in no time flat. I didn’t even take the time to look up and say “hi” to the people I knew that were at the wedding.
It was a beautiful location, the bride and groom were beautiful and everything was gorgeous. It was just too hot, and too loud. As the evening wore on the temp outside cooled off and it became really nice. Inside it was really hot and the music kept inching louder and louder. I am not a loud noise person! We tried to communicate some at the cake table, telling people what the cake flavors were but you had to yell to be heard and sometimes someone would put their mouth right by my ear and I still couldn’t make out what they were saying. As I walked by a couple of 50 something folks sitting quietly at a table, I realized they were both wearing ear plugs. Too funny! Next time I’ll know.
The cake was beautiful, it tasted great, the people were happy and enjoying the celebration. And the bride and groom are hopefully well on their way to their honeymoon. All is well with the world.
