Lincoln, Nebraska Wedding Cakes | S’more Cake | Nicolette and Alex’s Wedding
When Niki began her plans for her wedding day, it made me reminise how my mom had been there, helping with all of the details for my wedding. We ordered the flowers together, booked the reception hall, visited with the priest and sewed my dress. My mom wanted to make my wedding cake. I wasn’t sure about this but agreed to let her do it. It turned out very pretty. She made a two tiered square wedding cake decorated with my favorite color yellow. She had never made such a big cake before. Leading up to the wedding day, she spent time learning how to make roses with buttercream frosting which she also shared with me. I was very impressed with how it had turned out and it touched me with the love and care of detail she put into my wedding cake.
As Niki and I started planning her wedding, I asked if I could bake her wedding cake. She also was reluctant to have me do this, however, I was able to convince her to let me try. She wanted a three tiered cake with three different flavors of cake in each tier. She picked carrot, chocolate with raspberry filling, and a vanilla cake with with raspberry puree and a limeade cream cheese white chocolate filling. As I began Niki’s cake I learned a lot about what makes a cake moist and light. Sifting and the proper measuring of flour has made a big difference in how I make my wedding cakes.
Niki and Alex were married at the top of a ski slope in Allie’s Cabin at Beaver Creek, Colorado. It was an adventure taking the cake up the mountain in separate tiers on a shuttle bus. I will always remember this experience and enjoy the wonderful photographs taken by Susan.
