although i know how
i
rarely make wedding cakes
here's the deal
elaborate
fancy
wedding cakes
take time to
build
(yes, just like pedro says)
which means
by the time
you
cut into that cake
it
is
old
yes
there are tricks
soak it in syrup
it will seem moist
(when really, it is just wet)
freeze it
suspending the stale
or
or
up the filling to cake ratio
all good ways to get the job done
but
not my thing
i'm a bit of a jerk about it
wedding cakes are expensive
and should be
delicious
which means
for me
baking and assembling
as
the bride is donning her veil
the bride is donning her veil
that being said
there are times
when you can't keep me from
making a cake
last weekend
was one of them
my younger brother got married
last of the lot
&
the bride requested
lemon
i
made
this
lemon meringue cake
(recipe and instructions)
fondant topper
honoring
the year of the dragon
flowers
matching the bride's bouquet
