Some serious preparation - cakes!!

Today it was some hardcore cake decoration - fortunately we played to my strengths ( I washed up).
But by the end 3 cakes each lay frosted twice by a bewildering selection of frosting.
We have, marzipan and fondant on a tradtional fruit cake, chocolate ganache and royal icing on a chocolate cake and a white chocolate butter cream and something called 7 minute meringue (which wasn't) on a carrot cake.

Rachael wielded the spatulas and I washed and at the end of many hours we had three cakes ready to be stacked for the grand occasion.

Greg lent his support by cutting out the place cards he had recently printed.

All seems in hand for the great day (now very close).

  3. Can confirm that the cakes looked and tasted delicious. Rachael decorated them with peonies and a bride and groom from the 40's - bought on ebay.
