This past June, I had the
opportunity to make my own wedding cake. When I first set out to design
and make the cake I was slightly apprehensive. A wedding cake is a
daunting undertaking for someone who has never done one
before. So I gathered all my materials and made the royal icing for the
scroll work. When I started baking the cake, my confidence kicked in and
I thought “I can do this” with a mental dance in my head that resembled
the dance Rocky did when he reached the top of the steps. Anyone who
has ever planned a wedding, whether is a small family affair such as
mine or if it’s the big traditional wedding, knows the amount of stress
that over comes the bride the week of the event. So the mental Rocky
dance was my way of calming down so to speak. When the whole cake was
done I actually did a Rocky like dance in my kitchen, which amused my
daughters and my husband to no end! In the end it was a lovely wedding
with close family and friends accompanied by a very tasty white and
dark chocolate cake with a lemon curd and raspberry filling. The wedding
cake did not defeat me after all, only made me stronger and excited to
be able to do another one someday!
