This fall cake was made for Susan's wedding. After she wrote:"Hi Lynne,
I am just getting around to sending these photos to you of the beautiful cake that you made for our Thanksgiving wedding. One of my (many) favourite moments of my wedding day was when my sister and I snuck up the stairs at Geraldos before the ceremony to see how the hall was decorated and most of all how the cake looked! We ran up those stairs in heels and full gowns (like two little school girls giggling) and ran into the room. We had spent 15 months planning my wedding together, so this was the unveiling moment!! We were in absoulte awe of the cake and I was so pleased when I first saw it! It was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT sitting on the handmade cake stand!!! Once the reception started, many of our guests came up to the head table to speak with us and comment on the exquisite cake and inquired as to who made such a beautiful cake and how fitting it was to our Thanksgiving weekend wedding!
Even more compliments came once the cake was cut and placed on our sweet table (even though I didn’t want to cut into it because it was so beautiful to look at). Many of our guests tried one piece and then came back for more! They absolutely loved it and said that they had never had such moist wedding cake that tasted so great. Once all of the cake slices were gone, I even had a couple of guests go back up to the head table and steal another slice from the top layer that we were planning on saving for the next day at our gift opening! I had to ask the staff to discreetly remove the top layer for fear of it being devoured. The next day, all 30 of our house guests wanted another piece of the pumpkin spice cake from the top layer. So, we cut it all up and served it again to everyone!
Both Rory and I would like to THANK-YOU for such a beautiful and divine tasting cake that was so perfect of our wedding!
Susan"
