Wanted to show this off as I am pretty darn proud of it! I don’t actually bake all that often but all other wedding cakes I’ve tried have been so dissapointing that I ended up making my own wedding cake. Then a few months later I made this one for my brother’s wedding which had 120 guests 😱 (mine only had 35 haha). I did a cake tasting for my brother and his wife with a bunch of different cakes, fillings, and frostings, and we went with two different his and hers cake flavors on alternating tiers: (1) toasted almond cake with passion fruit curd and white chocolate swiss meringue buttercream; and (2) toasted walnut cake with tangerine curd and maple cream cheese frosting. I also had another seperate cake the same size as the bottom tier (11”) set aside in the kitchen for extra slices. So stressful, definitely won’t be offering to do this for anyone else in the future 😅
