I figured a cake was a cake and this one was for a wedding... so I called it a wedding cake. Learning the lessons as we go! Csgray, thank you for the CL lead. I'll check out the link. It's the same situation with us, Kapohocat! We planned to have my dear friend do the cake who is a pro, artistic baker in AZ, but she can't make it now. Last minute hiccup. At least we have a bit of time. Just one cake is all we want. One nice, not extravagant, simple but classy cake. and I do think I'm going to start asking around for 'birthday cakes' instead.
The most memorable wedding cake for me? My baker friends wedding, actually. She's a feisty redhead, we walked into the big den where the cake was waiting to be stacked about an hour before the big moment, and caught her dad's big chocolate lab halfway through chowing down the middle layer of the three layer, dark chocolate cake! I'm surprised that dog survived, both the chocolate intake AND my feisty red headed friend!
