From the moment Tobias proposed to me, I knew I'd be making our wedding cake. Many people thought I was crazy because I'd have so many other things to do and take care of...but aside from the groom showing up, the next most important thing to me was our cake.
Uschi, Tobias' Mom, had an amazing poppy cake that she'd made for Tobias' birthday and it was like nothing I'd ever tasted before. Trying to duplicate her cake was quite a challenge. No recipe formula and basically she'd make it by eye. I was up for the challenge, and many attempts later I'm happy to say it came out quite well.
Our cake had two tiers of this poppy cake with whipped cream filling and two tiers of coconut cream cake with chocolate mousse filling. Enrobed in colored marzipan with a bit of help from a wonderful mentor Linda.
Uschi and I also baked her almond crescent cookie recipe for a nice treat with coffee on the guest tables.
OH!!! And the bride bakes! She MADE this cake and it was not only GorGeouS, but tasty too! She insisted I take a bite (of hers!) Now that is love!
