I am starting sourdough olive loaf bread tonight! Tomorrow I will be baking a german's Chocolate cake. My Oldest DD is visiting for a belated birthday lunch

Yummy yummy saying my tummy. I just love Chocolate cake.

I just got commissioned to make a dear friend's wedding cake for the end of May! I'm so thrilled! Do y'all have any tips and tricks for making large-scale tiered cakes?

Also, here's another fun part. I am going to have to bring my stand mixer, 25 gallon tubs of sugar and flour, and all my equipment on the road with us on our way to her wedding! (500 miles, 7 hour drive.)

I really am. Since I'm a young(er) baker with my own small, home-based business, it means so much to me that she chose me.

Just put a brisket in some brine to make corned beef for St. Patrick’s Day.

Yikes, sounds like a lot of pressure! Make a list ahead of time so you don't forget anything.

Hope you'll share a picture once you have the cake made!

I figure you already know this but large tiered cakes always have to have platforms or they sink and implode from the weight. Had a friend learn that the hard way.

Sinking or imploding would be awful after all the work to make a big tiered cake.

My wedding was not great to begin with, but the cake, oh the problems I had! The worst? They didn’t use a single platform. I had to reconstruct it from the crumbs.
