My wedding cake -- and of course, being Isabelle from THE Mondo Fruitcake, it HAD to be a fruitcake. Veda's Dundee Cake, to be more specific.
This is the reason the posts on this blog have been so few--I got married on the 4th of November, and here was the beautiful cake, all fruitcake, decorated by Festive Flamingos Cakery in Bristol, Wisconsin, in the most gorgeous way! Everyone admired the cake--it was simply beautiful. The cake topper was composed of two tatted hearts edged in Swarovski crystals. Tatting is a form of lace making that I do, so I created those. Isn't the cake gorgeous? Here we are enjoying our first slice as man and wife:
He is a wonderful man: he doesn't like fruitcake at all, but willingly ate the cake I fed him. Now that's love.
Many people tried and enjoyed this cake at the reception--it was delicious. Similar to a slice of wedding cake I had shown earlier, the cake was enrobed in a layer of marzipan and fondant, both of them delicious. I may have made a few fruitcake converts! We also had a dessert bar for non-fruitcake-eaters. And as a gift for the way out, guests had this:
I'm not sure how many more fruitcakes I'll be eating this year, but I will be back on track soon, and some friends are having a fruitcake tasting at the end of the month, including some vintage fruitcake, so I'll be sure to report on that.
....because it's fruitcake season, people!!

What a great idea for a wedding cake! Congratulations, and here's wishing you every happiness.
btw: this year's cakes just arrived at my place. I bought two for this season: My usual Gethsemani standby and a Mary of Puddin Hill (never tried a "Southern" cake before). Anyway, congrats again, and thanks for the great reviews!
Thanks, Anonymous 2! And thanks for the head's up that Mary of Puddin Hilli is producing cakes again! I'd be interested to hear how you like it!
