Wedding Bells

I had great fun making this wedding cake for the bridal tea at Oak Bay United Church on Saturday.  I used a fairly straightforward recipe (pound cake with vanilla icing) and it turned out very nicely; the cake was sturdy and easy to layer and I liked how pure-white the frosting became after 10 long minutes of beating with a hand mixer!  It had been a while since I put a stacked cake together so I was relieved that it didn't collapse (thanks to the miracle of plastic straws).  I was also glad to remember how to make marzipan roses - they're always well worth the time and labour.
