Months ago when we met and did our little decision making session of sizes and cakes and fillings and such, we had figured on making sure there was plenty of cake. After all, there should be one-hundred and twenty guests and an after party where cake would be needed. It was also decided that wedding slices were not an option and opted instead for the larger party slices. Based on these factors, the initial plan worked out to be enough cake for about two hundred people, give or take. Two days before the wedding I got a call frantically saying we needed more cake and I suggested making the base bigger to accommodate and it was agreed upon.
Here’s the funny part, or the sad part, or whichever part you think it should be: There were only about forty people at the wedding. Which meant that not only would there be enough cake for the wedding reception and the after party, but also enough to feed the entire church after service the following day with the remainder of the base cake alone, which, by the way, is what they opted to do. However, even though they had so much cake, the impression everyone had of such a huge and lavish wedding cake was priceless. Best of all, the cakes tasted amazing, especially the German Chocolate cake with coconut pecan filling. This was meant to only be used for the topper, but I thought that since I had to go through all the work of making the filling that I’d also make the groom’s cake the same since it is his favorite. Sadly only people at the after party were able to indulge in this cake, but as one of those guests I got a slice too. It was delicious.
