Recaps/Details: Cake

I'm not sure why I look like I'm about to stab my husband in this photo.

Paparazzi moment number two. There was a bank of cameras trying to get a pic of us cutting the cake.


The cake was amazing, people are still raving about it. As previously posted the bottom layer was made my my Dad and O's Mum made the middle and top layers. We had cake served with the buffet in the evening, all of the (lemon drizzle) top layer was eaten and most of the middle (carrot) layer too. The bottom layer was a 12 inch square fruit cake - even having given away quite a lot we still have some left. Thankfully fruit cake lasts forever so we are slowly making our way through it.

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.
