Another cake is finished, and another must be made.
You may or may not know that I'm responsible for our wedding cake. (I just mentioned it in passing, I guess). It seemed like a good idea at the time, and now that I've been told what it costs to purchase a wedding cake, it seems like an even better idea.
That doesn't mean I know how to make a perfectly wonderful wedding cake. I don't. But I have the tools, and have been practicing. Today I made the one which will be the primary recipe -- a really good chocolate cake. Right now it looks like I'll have the twelve inch base be this chocolate cake, then the nine inch middle tier will either be just chocolate, or (if I'm feeling frisky) one layer each of chocolate and white. If there's any white at all, it will be in the top tier. Then again, maybe we'll just make the whole blasted thing chocolate.
The frosting will be raspberry, our favorite. The decorations are still uncertain. However, there's a recipe for practice frosting in the book, so I should be able to get some practice with the old piping gear in time. We shall see. At least I'm feeling less like a buffoon. Slightly.
The countdown is now officially here, lest anyone forget that it's coming right up.
Sweet temptation...why do you torture me so?!
I've been doing sit-ups religiously each night in preparation for my consumption of the enti...uh, "part" of your scrumdiddliumptious wedding cake. Of course, in order to truly benefit from such a cake, I need to have a little taste (i.e., half) of all those practice cakes. That way I will not only be honed for cakey comestibles, but I will also fully understand just how far you have advanced as an official cakemeister.

Delicious cake. My mom's Cuisinart may be fancy-shmancy enough to have the function you're looking for. Worth asking, anyway. Mmmm...
