I've been looking around for a place that can put together a cake for what we're loosely calling a wedding on Saturday. It's more like a celebration for a wedding we already had, but there absolutely has to be a gorgeous cake.
The groom of course doesn't care as much if it's gorgeous and would rather it be simply delicious, but I've thankfully talked him out of baking a sheet cake and then putting G.I. Joe action figures on it. Men. Sigh.
I have a picture of something along the lines of what I'm looking for, but it doesn't need to be this big or this fancy, just something similar. Mainly I'm a fan that it's chocolate covered, and like some of the decoration on the sides and the flowers on the top.
You can see it here, it's the 'Chocolate Enrobed' cake with the grapevines on the side.
I understand that's a different cake maker's work and I'm open to ideas you have that are your own work along similar lines, especially since this is kind of a rush order. I mean I'm not going to be some crazy impossible bride-monster about it or anything.
The GROOM on the other hand insists that the cake taste like a 'Jaffa cake', whatever those are. Apparently something to do with spongy white cake with some kind of orange filling? I have no idea if you can do that for me, so please tell me if you can't and what sort of cake flavors and fillings you actually do have so I can start bargaining with him. Because Men. Sigh.
Anyway, please get back to me after reading all my rambles and let me know what you think. I guess I should also mention that I want to keep a tier to eat on my anniversary if I live that long and that I would say we probably won't have more than even 20 guests, but leftover cake is not an issue for me (it'll get eaten without a problem and I'd like some slices to pass around to those who can't attend). I'm not sure how big it needs to be.
