My brother, Boyce, is getting married in July and I was asked to make the wedding cake. I love to bake, but have NEVER tackled such a task. I figured I better start experimenting now to make sure I have success on the actual wedding day.
I have to start this post with a HUGE thank you to one of my favorite blogs, http://smittenkitchen.com/. I found this blog while searching for wedding cake recipes, and decided to give one of the recipes listed on the site a try. The cake was a basic yellow cake with strawberry filling and topped with Swiss Butter cream Frosting. 
The dry ingredients
The layers hit the oven
One of three layers
First layer topped with strawberry preserves
All three layers
What are the dogs doing? They were no help, just look at Cassius he could care less about the cake. Since no frosting was offered up, he stayed put on the carpet.
The Swiss Butter Cream
The finished productI took the cake to work the following day to put it to the test of the nurses. I received some good comments and can't wait to try the next cake.....coconut cake with either chocolate or pineapple filling with butter cream frosting. Wish me LUCK!
