Today my friends are getting married! It has been a fun, busy, celebratory week. Last night was spent rehearsing and rehearsal dinner-ing at Rosso Trattoria, owned by the owner of Gervais & Vine. Dinner was perfect, a 3-course meal - I had an arugula salad, a filet over rosso potatoes with grilled broccolini and tiramisu for dessert; Erin had grouper over wild mushroom risotto (the risotto was seriously to die for) and creme brulee. The atmosphere was much less casual than G&V with an older Forest Acres neighborhood crowd.
So - it is 9:05 am and I am blogging when I have a wedding cake to make. I know, I know, but I need to keep my stress levels down and have fun today. So here are a few pictures from the process. My plans were to bake off all the cakes and do a "crumb ice layer" to lock in crumbs and freeze over night - today is the real day where I see what I can do. I am a lot less comfortable with the icing spatula than I used to be, so that was a little nerve-wrecking to discover, but it will be fine and hopefully look great. Stay tuned for the final product - I'll probably post tomorrow or Sunday!
