Forget white water rafting, sky diving or bungee jumping. I believe I’ve found the ultimate white knuckle experience for adrenaline junkies and it is… WEDDING CAKE DELIVERY ON AN IRISH ROAD! Feel the fear as you bump and trundle over miles of uneven Tarmac as it undulates over bog land in the sub zero temperatures and driving rain of the Irish summer, worrying for mile upon mile of seemingly endless, potholed road, as to whether the cake you’ve spent 30 long hard hours of your life working on is now nothing more than a squished, collapsed pancake of a thing on the backseat of your car? Feel your heart trying to escape from your body through your mouth as you pull into the car park of the hotel and open the back door of your car to check if you’ve beaten all the odds and made it there intact?! Then the final sweaty surge of fear as you delicately pick up the cake and hope you don’t trip on the way to the cake stand and land face down in your lemon drizzle! I’m sure the bride didn’t appreciate the blood sweat and tears that went into making it. That’s the joy of making cakes as favours for people. All the fear and no reward except knowing you’ve created something beautiful from your heart.

Omg I swear I was in that car with you with my teeth clenched! On point! We laugh when its over but it is so stressful during the trip. And my biggest fear is exactly what you said… Getting it there then tripping… Ohhhh I would die! So glad you made it there in one piece.. Bet you had the best ride home ever… Telling off those potholes letting em know whos boss. Lol!!! Beautiful cake by the way :)

Ha Ha..made me chuckle..sooooo true.
Lovely cake… Don’t you put yor cake in the boot of your car?? I place a non skid mat on the trunk/boot floor, then my sturdy box lined with non skid mat with my cake. Everything else has been removed from the trunk/boot, for fear of tight corners and flying objects..

Made me smile with your description of the delivery. My cakes are always gifts for family but I still feel very anxious. Last week my husband got a dirty look and he’s lucky that was all when he took a corner too fast. He will not carry the cakes because he knows he would not survive if he anything happens to them. Love your cake.
Lovely cake!
Thanks everyone. This one was a gift from my cousin and I to her sister in law Goreti. I don’t know if I would have the nerve to do this professionally. One wedding cake a year has my nerves frayed, I’ve no idea how I’d cope with one a week! lol 😄 xx
And I know all about dirty looks too Goreti. I think my family understand that I’m under stress though. 😂😄 xx
