Practice Cake

On Wednesday, Oct 7th (my birthday!), we completed a four tier wedding cake that we baked for a senior citizens ball. The cake was a simple white cake/ white frosting combination, and was our first practice attempt at making our own wedding cake. The cake did not turn out perfect, especially the bottom tier, but all of the participants thoroughly enjoyed the cake. We learned a lot of lessons on this cake and surely the next cake will be much better. We figure this cake took us about 20 man-hours of work, and fed about 200 people.The cake took 12 boxes of cake mix, and over 30 cups of homemade frosting, as well as 15 pounds of marshmallow fondant.
