A bit of a challenge

So I agreed to make another wedding cake only this time its the real deal!
Laura and James are getting married on September 11th and they want a three tier wedding cake with white icing and red sugar roses trailing down from top to bottom.

As I have very little experience of doing anything like this I am quite nervous but who doesn't like a challenge!?! I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. I have been studying lots of youtube videos and Mum and Dad have bought me some very dated but helpful cake decorating books.

Last year my friend Julie and I had a bake sale at a local pub. One of the cakes we made was a chocolate ale cake and Laura and JAmes decided they liked it so much thats the cake they'd like for their wedding. A bit of a relief as their first idea was a Croquembouche!

So I haven't got the original recipe but I'm hoping this recipe from Delia will be just as good. I'm going to have a practice day on Sunday so i'll let you know how it goes!
