Wow, it’s been so long, way overdue! I didn’t think it would happen to me but I guess post-wedding “fappy” got the best of me. You don’t plan for these things and I’m completely guilty! I have a lot of catching up to do.
I can’t believe it’s already been 6 months since the wedding. How time flies! It was a beautiful evening surrounded by family and friends. Logistically, everything went as planned and I was like the first unstressed bride ever. I hugely owe this to our friends who went out of their way to help us before, during and after the wedding. All the decorations were DIY. I have too much of that DIY-bug, y’know ;). Cake was no exception. I know it was going to be demanding. At minimum, assembly had to be done no earlier than the day before the big day. But I knew even better that I was marrying the right man! Day before the big day, we had to haul all our decorations to the venue. Mr took total control. I was left alone in the kitchen and was able to focus on assembling the cakes without interruption. And hallelujah, I cranked out four 10” cakes happily and safely. Amazing!
In coming up with the designs, requirements were; 1) theme was to be rustic wedding in the garden setting and 2) total serving would be ~100. I didn't want to do tiered cake because I don't have experience with it. No wedding will be a guinea pig, mine or otherwise! If I make 10" rounds, I'd have to make 4.
After much pondering, here were the final menu:
- Vanilla cake with coconut frosting. This had the cutest bride & groom cake topper.
- Matcha green tea cake with green field sidewall. Cake topper was the birds' nest.
- Chocolate cake with hearts on the sidewall. I made one heart to be pink ;).
- Naked cake incorporating all 3 flavors above. I kept this cake a no-frill.
So there you have it! I really can't thank everyone enough for making my dream come true of making my own wedding cake!
