Hi all :)

This is my first post – the first wedding cake I made for someone outside my immediate family – and the largest project I’ve ever done to date haha. Its 400 guests-worth of chocolate and vanilla sponge cake, covered in white chocolate ganache then a thin outer layer of coverture chocolate on 9 tiers, 6", 2×8″, 2×10″, 2×12″ and 2×14″. The decorations are modelling chocolate roses and cake lace, with burgundy buttercream accents. I was making it during a heatwave, so I had to make the roses a little thicker than I would have liked. This was my first time baking anything so big, first time covering a cake all over in chocolate (I had a few disasters before I managed to get the nice sharp edges you see here lol), first time using cake lace, first time making modelling chocolate from candy melts…. well lets just say this was a lot of firsts. I also learnt the hard way how difficult it is to fit all this cake into a car and transport it then set it all up without incident. definitely a learning curve :)

Thanks for looking!

*I edited the photos to show the display a little better, the wafer lotus flower on top and that each tier size had a different design
