My little sister and I have a lot in common.... one of those things is we don't like to eat cake because growing up we only had dry boxed cake... so my goal is to make a cake for my sisters wedding that is sooo good and moist that she likes cake again. So today I called her because she asked me if I would be offended if she had someone else make her cake, I said no I wouldn't be offended at all, but I wanted to save her some money.
I asked her what flavor of cake and she said vanilla but didn't know what kind of filling she wanted, so I looked up several awesome recipes for filling and she shot them down because her fiance doesn't like fruit in his dessert!!!! There went all my great ideas :s but alas, I spoke with him and we agree on a vanilla cake with chocolate filling and for his grooms cake I will be making a sort of "death by chocolate" cake.
I haven't made very many homemade cakes so this is my chance to practice making them and perfect at least two recipes before August. I also haven't ever worked with fondant before so I am really excited to try new recipes this weekend for homemade fondant!!
The design for the wedding cake is simple: white fondant, with black ribbon at the base of each tier and real red roses at the top. There will be a black vine piped from the bottom tier to the top with fondant leaves. Then for the guests there will be cupcakes with a red butter cream rose and black leaf on each of them.
I can't wait for this weekend!
So any readers have any good ideas for ANY cake fillings(with or without fruit)!! I would love to hear some feedback!
