So, I'm taking on a project that I may very well regret. Well, isn't that true with everything?

Anyway, my cousin and his fiance are getting married in September. It will be kind of low key, probably outside, tents, that whole deal. And I've agreed to make the wedding cake...YIKES! Am I crazy? I don't know yet...

I've never made a wedding cake. Actually, I've never made a cake from scratch so this could be interesting. As some of you may know I do have a bit of a creative vibe going on and I do really love to cook/bake so I can't imagine that it will be that horrible, right? Ahhhh!

This weekend we are having a "tasting". I plan to make 3 mini wedding cakes that will each vary slightly. I am making a Lemon-Raspberry wedding cake that is basically a fluffy white cake with lemon curd (i hate the word "curd") and fresh raspberries in between the layers and then I think I'll try a buttercream icing topped with fondant. The second I plan to attempt will be a chocolate cake with maybe a raspberry jam type filling between layers and either buttercream or cream cheese icing. And lastly I am going to do a dark chocolate wedding cake with a chocolate orange ganache in between layers and then probably fondant icing.

I hope I'm not getting in too deep but I think I can handle it. I have NO idea what I'll do to make them look nice but that has got to be the most fun part. Wish me luck! I'll take pic's of the mini cakes this weekend and let you know which one, if any, becomes the chosen cake for the wedding...
