The filling to this cake is my favorite, and I think one of the best cakes ever. Sort of an Italian wedding cake, the first layer is of a creamy cannoli filling with flakes of Scharffen berger bittersweet chocolate throughout......the second layer is filled with organic whipped cream and Mascarpone cheese, with fresh strawberries. The whole cake is encased in Italian meringue buttercream, then wrapped in rolled fondant that has been tinted orange to match invite. I had thisvision of a deep orange cake. Reminds me of the bride - shes bold, fun, sexy and classy!
After covering each layer in the fondant, put the bottom layer on the marble. Then insert wooden rods for support, and glue on the top layer....
get it on, right in the right spot......it's cool about wedding cakes, at each step something could go horribly wrong, and then you almost have to regroup and begin again. The pastry gods were with me on this day.....after i got the layers together and the fondant on smoothly I breathed some heavy relief.
Fabric swaths out of fondant, pink dragees border....and then gluing on the flowers with more buttercream tinted orange.....see next post!
