So, after very much ado, involving the difficult process of keeping the damn kitten off the iced wedding cakes, and checking the height and symmetry of said cakes with the lad's digital calipers and various other engineering processes to ensure the stability and structural integrity of the cake, we finally got it to the venue, set up and decorated. Not too shabby an effort for an amateur. And actually, while there were moments in which I questioned my own sanity at taking this project on (as did my mother and Grandmother), I really enjoyed it. It was lovely to have been able to make this for my dear friends and I know the bride's mother was really grateful that someone who was sort-of part of the family was making it, so that was important to me. It was fun! So much so that I'm considering taking a course or two in cake decorating...so, perhaps we will have yet more chapters in the tale of FF's Adventures with Marzipan?!
