I've been terribly bad about updating this blog. Truth is, though I've been cooking, I've been distracted. Life seems to be going back to normal now that the wedding is over. My friend took some great pics at the wedding, including some shots of the wedding cake and the groom's pies from the fabulous Shamane over at Shamane's Bake Shoppe in Boulder. Mike, a total pie fanatic, was super excited about the prospect of having his favorite pastry in place of a traditional groom's cake. He ended up choosing cherry, apple, and maple pecan. I didn't get to have any at the reception, but the folks at Spice of Life sent us home with leftovers (awesome!).
Our cake was chocolate candied orange on the bottom (with buttercream and chocolate ganache -- if I'm not mistaken) and the top two tiers were citron raspberry (lemon curd and raspberry with white cake). Sooo awesome!
We made it home with the top of the cake and Shamane's actually gives you a cake for your anniversary, so we won't need to freeze the top. Instead, we had champagne and cake yesterday and vegged out with some Fringe.
Everything turned out amazing and I think (I hope) everyone had as great a time as Mike and I did.
