A few weeks ago, I did my very first cake tasting for Ashley and John. Today was their big day! It was a beautiful, clear, unusually HOT day in the PNW. It was about 90 degrees in the sun, and the wedding and reception were outdoors! The venue was perfect: outside, next to Puget Sound. The yard had gardens, chickens, and ducks. It was really nice...
Well, I had to make 7 cakes for this event. That was fine, although, I was worried about the heat. But things worked out well; the cakes stood up to heat, and I received a lot of comments and positive reviews. This was a big job, and I felt really good about the cakes, particularly the trickier ones -- the gluten free carrot cake and the vegan-gluten free chocolate.
