My sister, Fiona, is getting married next year and I've offered to make her wedding cake. I'll keep updating this thread throughout the long cake process, so every time you see it pop up, it will be new info or questions.
Her and her fiancee came up this week and I was able to make them two little testing cakes. One cake is chocolate with a raspberry liqueur moistening syrup that I brushed over the cake to keep it moist and give some flavor. The cake was layered with a raspberry buttercream and the frosting on the outside is a chocolate buttercream. The other cake was chocolate with a lemon syrup, layered blackberry buttercream and frosted with a lemon curd buttercream. Here are a few photos, I'll post more details later, along with the tasting results...
The photo quality is not the greatest but it gives you a general idea.
