Labour of love

I'm making our wedding cake!

Tiers one and two are done (one and two being the top two) and tier three will be done on Sunday. We're freezing them and will take them out the week of the wedding to decorate, so the adventure will be finding somewhere to freeze it on Sunday. Our freezer isn't big enough for a 12" square cake. Some would say that we ought to find somewhere big enough first, but that wouldn't be so much fun that driving around looking for friends or relatives who are better freezer endowed than we are.

We decided on carrot rather than fruit partially because of the house move and fruit cake baking all within a week was a bit much, and also because I don't want to be tired of fruit cake by the time Christmas comes around...

The ingredients:



We have a cake in the oven!


The finished top tier...



OK. So as it turns out I haven't done such a good job at documenting the baking of the cake. But actually, the photos of the bowls of mixed ingredients ended up looking like sick (and I didn't want to put the wedding guests off) and the photos of the baked second tier looked just like the photos of the baked first tier...

Perhaps the decoration photos will be much more amusing...
