my friend mikael asked me to make his groom's cake for his wedding! this is my first groom's cake (mikael knows that, by the way) and i'm incredibly excited and honored. i'm also pretty nervous! and so, even though the wedding isn't until may 8th, i've already started practicing. i'm going to track the progress of the sample cakes, so feel free to comment, make suggestions, etc. and, if you live in nashville, i'd love you to try it. i pretty much always have one made :)
i have no pictures of the first cake, but here is the second. it is a layer of chocolate devil's food cake, chocolate mousse, chocolate cheesecake, chocolate mousse, and chocolate devil's food cake. because it is a rich cake, icing is too sweet. so, for this cake, i topped it with the same chocolate bark that i dipped the strawberries in. while a great idea in theory, it was a disaster! the chocolate cracked every time i tried to cut a slice. so, i'm going to try another topping tomorrow. but for now, here was cake #2.
i can't decide between one layer of strawberries...
or two...
