This is basically what our cake is going to look like except without the flowers on top and with dark navy ribbon. (Gaynor I promise that we had chosen our design before I saw your cake but they are quite similar).
The cake is going to be the master piece of our parents. The bottom layer is going to be a fruit cake which my Dad will make. The next layer will be carrot and the top layer lemon sponge. The middle and top layers are going to be made by O's Mum. We know that they are up to the job as my Dad made #1's wedding cake and O's Mum made his sisters wedding cake. Such talented relatives we have and what better talent than cake baking!
The only thing they are not confident enough to do is icing the cake so we are bringing in a professional for that.
That sounds amazing! I love that your families are coming togther in the cake making!
ReplyDeleteYummers! Hmm makes me think I should enlist the talents bakers on both sides of our family.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to have your family baking your cake. Such an extra special touch. And the icing isn't too hard :) I baked and iced my wedding cake and it worked out okay. Although I'm sure it would have been a hell of a lot better if someone professional had done it!
ReplyDeleteLooks great and sounds delish!
ReplyDeleteWow, that cake is amazing! I love the placement of the ribbons, and what a cool family connection that each layer is made by a family member. So clever!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! And I never thought to have a pro do the icing! I wonder if I could find someone willing to do that.
ReplyDeleteHa ha, all the best people have square cakes with ribbon! So nice that your family is making it too.
ReplyDeleteDifferent fillings are the way to go too; we had fruit on the bottom, choc next then madeira then the little one at the top was fruit too so we can keep it.
I didnt even think I had even shown my cake yet so I wouldnt have even given it a thought being similar!
Good to have talented bakers in the family! :)
