Wedding Cake

This last weekend Seth's older brother got married to an amazing woman. Anna, she is fabulous and is a great addition to the family. However she is a little nuts because she asked me if I would make the wedding cake, and of course I have never made wedding cake, needless to say I accepted and was so excited to make the cake. I called my friend Webber to help me with this project. Webber is good with all things regarding food.

A week or so before the wedding Webber and I got together and did the test cakes. Then 3 days before the wedding we got together to make the cakes...it did not go so well. We made cakes without salt, other cakes did not bake evenly then collapsed, cake batter spilled in the oven when we put it in, and it goes on and on like this...but 6 and half hours later we had a 6", 9", and 12" lemon wedding cake ready to be transported.

Wow, you know I was going to blog about how when we got down to Zion everything went wrong and it did for the first day...we forgot the whisk attachment to the Kitchen aid, we had to go to a restaurant and ask for theirs, which they lent it to us for 2 days. Equally surprising and awesome. Then the chocolate frosting was becoming a nightmare...blah blah, but I am realizing people won't really care. The important thing is that the wedding cake and grooms cake turned out splendidly. Most importantly they tasted really well...lemon cake with a whipped frosting. It was a lot of fun to do and I glad someone finally let me do their wedding cake. Jannasen (the couples Hollywood name) were really good sports about it.

Side note, Fisher was their ring bearer and did a good job with that, but when the Martinellis started flowing with the music blaring Fisher got crazy!!! He was a dancing machine, he was such a trooper, it was such a long day with him and no naps...poor guy...but he was great...just keep him dancing and you will keep him happy.
