Well finally after two cake baking sessions that turned out disastrous (i put it down to my old handmixer not being able to cope with a large double mixture and it didnt mix it hard enough, cos neither of the cakes rose in the middle, they tasted all right tho and everyone was eating chocolate cake for the next week!!) So after two disasters and one day to go I baked 12 individual single cake mixtures and that worked. The cakes were yummy and thanks to Deane (and a little help from Daniel too) we got the cakes iced and ready late on the Friday night. Next hassle was transporting them all to the wedding venue but as you will see below the cake didnt turn out too bad for an ammatuer!!!
