Lincoln Nebraska Wedding Cake | S’more Cake | Cece and Dan

♥♥My younger sister, Cece became engaged to Dan at the end of May, 2012, so when they asked me to make their wedding cake, I was pleased. He LOVES chocolate cake, so he wanted the entire cake made with chocolate. We also decided that it needed to be 4 tiered as the entire town of Red Oak would be invited to this reception, with anticipated guests at 250. Then my sister decided on fondant and I was very excited about planning a four tiered cake with all the possibilities of decorating with this icing. She is an artist, so it was very important that this cake be as beautiful as possible. After many taste testing of chocolate products, looking for the best and planning the best accenting flavor, we decided on a very rich chocolate cake recipe, with raspberry base and a dark chocolate filling with lemon flavored fondant. She picked out black and white ribbon resembling the invitation that was also planned in black and white.

Lincoln Nebraska Bakery|S’more Cake|Lemon Layered Cake

When life throws you lemons, make a lemon cake!!!! When my daughter, Niki, invited me to North Lake City, Utah for the photography of my web site, S’more Cake and told me that lemon cake was her favorite cake, I knew that would be my first signature cake. And what a cake this is! This cake is a four layer, lemon flavored cake with white chocolate mixed into the batter. It is frosted with a lemon buttercream with lemon zest and white chocolate. The filling is a lemon curd and lemon buttercream. When I was making the cake, the room became filled with the aroma of lemon and it was wonderful. My grand daughter Allie was running around, asking for “s’more cake, please”. It seems that she also enjoys the flavor of this sweetened fruit. But she had to wait until the photos had been taken.

We all watched as Niki prepared the platform, lighting and presentation of this cake. I loved the white wood floor that she suggested for the base and we used the new cake riser that I had just purchased from William Sonoma as the cake stand. It was a lot of fun and I love the way this cake looks!
