A week or so ago I created a wedding cake for a special wedding reception we held in our mezzanine.  It was fun to bake and fill the cake;  ice it with buttercream and enrobe it in fondant. The vanilla genoise was soaked in a vanilla syrup, the filling was a lemon zest pastry cream. The best part though, was personalizing it with piped tempered chocolate notes and symbols.  It was a simple and elegant cake, striking at the end of a long table in our upstairs dining area.  I sliced and plated the cake in the kitchen, it was served with a whiskey caramel.
