The Wedding Cake

I haven't had the time to write-up my experience making a wedding cake for my friends Lane and Courtney's wedding but I've finally found a photo of it to which I can point you: the wedding cake in action. Outside is rolled fondant, inside is Red Velvet cake. And when I say red, I mean red. For a first wedding cake, I don't think it turned out too badly. But I'm not sure I'm up for doing another wedding cake, at least not anytime soon!
