Being a stubborn, overreaching individual with an primary focus on making sure that this wedding was unique to J and I, I made sure that the four months we had to prepare and execute a wedding were both stressful and busy!
My first major decision was to make the wedding cake.
Seeking an opinion from my beloved was proving to be an almost impossible task. Finally after forcing him to look through many a wedding and cake book he finally decided on a non traditional cake. Three tiers but not on top of each other...
Being a fan of fruitcake he made my life slightly eaisier for me by choosing to have the big and the little tier out of fruitcake (which can be made well in advance) and the middle one out of chocolate mud.
It took 6 cakes to get the required heights for the cakes.
It took approximately 132 individually hand rolled roses for the tops.
Eventually just two days before the wedding day the cake was delivered safe and sound to the venue.... but I can assure you not without many a anxious moment.
