The biggest cake I have ever made. For my sisters engagement party. I sculpted the roses by hand using white chocolate clay. I did enjoy making the cake and did learn many important lessons.
For example, her party was in another country, and when choosing the flavour, they were interested in chocolate raspberry, when I asked if they had raspberries there, they said yes, once I arrived, turns out they are very expensive and sour!!! Their frozen strawberries weren't any better. Lesson, choose a simple flavour u can find everywhere.
Anyhow, I had a great time making it. I baked it with my mom, who was excited about making the cake with me. She said I can give her orders, it felt awkward giving my mom orders, but we made a great team. My mom loves baking and decorating cakes and I guess I inherited that!!!
I took with me many of my supplies even the chocolate clay, but had to search for others such as the boxes to transport the cake in. Its a challenge searching for supplies in a foreign city, but doable. But overall, its a good experience and I believe I can tackle another three tier cake!!!
