It’s been a little quiet around here because, in typical Second Slice fashion, I decided to try something I’d never done before.
Triple decker cookie cake?
Cookie cups?
A 3D object built out of cookies?
Nope.
My wedding cake 🤪🤯😂
2 half sheet service cakes and the actual 2-tiered cutting cake were equal parts exciting and excruciating. Swiss meringue buttercream, which I’d never done before, was a labor of love (with a lot of cursing and prayers). Thanks ChatGPT for walking me through that process.
Was it worth it? Absolutely yes. Was it perfect? Absolutely no. Seeing the whole process come together was the reward. And then tasting the dense raspberry cake, and then sampling the fluffy lemon layers? Heaven 😇 Also, huge shoutout to my mom for making all the flowers, berries and eucalyptus from scratch! ❤️
No, I am not adding wedding cakes to my offerings. I can’t think of a reasonable price that anyone would pay that would include the ingredient cost plus my time. Good butter ain’t cheap 😬 But, as always, if you have a special request, I’d be more than happy to consider it.
Thanks for being along on my journey of unhinged moments coming to fruition. I think it’s fair to say life is never boring in my kitchen 👩🍳
