A Success

I'm feeling really pleased with myself and more confident about making Laura and James' wedding cake. I had a go at Nigella's Chocolate Guinness cake replacing the guinness with Newcastle Brown Ale. The method isn't the usual way you would expect to make a cake but I went with it and it turned out really well.





The cake is really moist which I think will work well for the wedding cake because I will have to make it upto 2 days before the wedding. Again I've iced it with ready-to-roll icing and was much happier with the way it turned out. I left out the marzipan this time as I think it with be too much with the other flavours.



Although I am pleased with the icing I still need to practice as it's still a bit bumpy. After discussing this with my mum we came to the conclusion that I will have to double ice the cake or make sure the icing isn't rolled too thin.
