When I heard my cousin was having a wedding reception but didn't have a wedding cake sorted I jumped at the opportunity to make the cake. I hadn't made a wedding cake before but felt I could do it and just needed the opportunity. The bride and groom left the design of the cake up to me which I was excited about as I love coming up with the concept for the cake. The reception was being held on a lake and was a casual ordeal as the actual wedding was a private function a week earlier so I knew I didn't want the cake to be a traditional wedding cake. The couple live and work on a resort island in Australia so I decided to make the cake an island theme.
I was very pleased with how the cake turned out and came together. The bottom tier was a white chocolate caramel mud cake with a toffee filling. The middle tier was a white chocolate lemon poppyseed mudcake with a passionfruit filling and the top tier was made of rice crispie treats.
The biggest challenge I had was transporting the cake! The reception was two hours a way so you could say I was a little nervous about how I was going to get the cake there. My husband with his kiwi-ingenuity saved the day though and the cake arrived after driving windy roads and through road works completely unaffected.
