What a week this has been... I don't know why I agreed to make 5 cakes for a wedding in the last week of term, but it seems that I did. If it wasn't for my co-chef (Mum) then I don't think I would have managed, because mud cakes cannot be cooked as much in advance as fruit cakes, so the race was on, starting Tuesday.
Check out the ingredients list in total...
Chocolate - 4.8kg (that's 23 x 200g blocks!)
Butter - 2.56kg
Brown Sugar - 9 cups
Water - 9 cups
Kahlua - 3 cups
Eggs - 20
Flour - 7 cups
Some of the chocolate supplies...
Creating the hearts using flood work and touching up the silver edges...
The finished 3 tier wedding cake...
and with the two matching birthday cakes...
So now that this one has been delivered, next up is a three tier cake with a handmade bride and groom for my friend and workmate Sarah who is marrying Brad next Saturday... thank god I am on school holidays now!
