MY FIRST TIER CAKE



Hello people, hope you are all having/or had a Caketastic day.

My post today is about sharing a picture of my first tier cake which happens to be my first wedding cake as well. It’s a bit late sharing the pictures (wedding was July 2012) but I thought since this blog is about sharing my experience I might as well share this.

I was excited about making this cake, a bit nervous I won’t lie but I think mostly happy. Everything I needed for the cake was ordered and ready weeks before the date, the second tier was a Fruit cake which I had to bake weeks in advance. Well the process was not smooth all through..... I made a terrible error of stacking the cake from the house so while transporting the cake to the venue; the car drove over bumps which made the cake shift and crack. As if that was not enough stress, after arranging and decorating the cake table, I noticed the cake began to slide to one side. At this point I just thought to myself I must be 'MAD' to have attempted this huge task but I remained positive and hoped that the reception would start quickly so that the couple could cut the cake in time for me to dismantle it and avoid any embarrassment. Yes, I survived, the cake did not collapse and I have also done another tier cake since then.

This was made for a 50th Birthday and Wedding Anniversary

There is always a first time for everything, you've just got to face your fears even if you are in doubt.

Thanks for viewing xoxo....
