I chuckled when I saw this cartoon in yesterday's paper about baking:

In the year leading up to my wedding, I decided that I would bake my own wedding cake. I had only done simple cakes before then, but I baked great bread, so I figured, how hard can it be? I had not yet found KAF's Baking Circle, so I struck out on my own and to practice, I selected a cake from The Cake Bible. I used two larger round cake pans, and all seemed well. I drove it over to my future husband's house for a family dinner, and the top slid off, and the cake broke into pieces.
However, the white chocolate frosting helped me along in developing a relationship with my future stepdaughter, who loved that frosting.
I ended up going much simpler for the wedding--a Wilton mini-tier three tier double layers cake, and three 8-inch layer cakes around it. (Too much cake actually, although the leftovers did get devoured.)
My cake baking skills have improved, although I've not attempted another large cake.
