I made a wedding cake...

One of my besties, Amanda got married at the end of last year. 
It was a gorgeous, intimate sunset service on a balcony over the beach.

I offered to make the wedding cake. 

Honestly it was harder than I thought it would be. 
I would not have pulled it off without a lot of help from my brother Christopher.
However I made a wedding cake. I'm pretty proud of myself.
I made 2 types of cupcakes - vanilla bean and black forest (choc cherry) both with vanilla butter-cream icing. 
I made a raspberry white chocolate mudcake for the top tier which was iced with white choc ganache and choc curls. 
I even made the fondant from scratch.
It took 2 full days in the very heat of summer, during the Christmas season, with my 2 kids running around the house. I probably wasn't at my best by the end of the process!
Not sure if I'd quickly offer to make a wedding cake again, but feel it's worth noting that I once made a wedding cake!
