I’m surrounded by cake. Right now. Literally surrounded.
I’m also eating a vegan enchilada… but that’s neither here nor there.
I’m taking a break on this Friday Wedding Cake Extravaganza Madness Day to give you a glimpse of what’s going on in my kitchen.
The only thing not pictured is my enchilada and crazy crazy hair. It might be best to use your imagination on those.
Chocolate cake. It’s secretly vegan!
I used this cake recipe and multiplied it by four to make a two layer 10-inch cake and two half sheet cakes (for behind the scenes slicing).
Vanilla Butter Cake. Too yummy.
I used this cake recipe, multiplied it by eight and made a two layer 14-inch cake and a two layer 6-inch cake.
Phew.
Oh! I freaked out and had to check tomorrow’s weather. I need to make sure my buttercream can hold up to the sun heat. I’m good. Just a maniac.
Back to the cake. It’s baking. Right now.
Next up? Whipping up the buttercream.
Who wants to come help with dishes? Seriously.

Just curious. Are they 3″ pans? If you stack two of those and if they are 2″, you won’t get 4″ high tiers. Good luck with the cake and cleanup.
Lauren @ Crave. Indulge. Satisfy.
Lovin the cake updates! I can’t wait to see the finished masterpiece, I know its going to be beautiful!

You can do it Joy! You’re fabulous. And your cake will be fabulous. And heck, for what it’s worth, I’d love a chance to hang out at your place and wash your dishes. :)

This looks like some serious yum! Hope you’re having fun making the cake and not getting stressed out. By the way i’m insanely jealous of the weather forecast in your area. Mine is filled by thunderstorms instead of sun. Kinda sorta depressing.

You are so brave! As for crazy hair (I feel your pain), I always wear a bandanna when I bake. Your cake is going to be GREAT! Can’t wait for the big “reveal”!
Stephanie
If it makes you feel better, I’m crazy haired all the time, with no excuses whatsoever. Sending you good juju and dish cleaning energy from Houston!

I should clarify…from one crazy haired gal to another!

I didn’t see a calculator on the table to do the multiplication, you probably used your phone;)
If I was anywhere near your state, you’d know I’d pitch in, my only request would be to lick the whisk! Good luck, you’re almost there, it’s looking great:)
