My sister asked me to make the cake for her wedding. I tried to talk her out of since I am a savory chef and not a pastry chef. She told me she had been to several bakers and no one was willing to follow her every request. She wanted copious amounts of buttercream frosting, three layers, between the bottom and middle layer she wanted sliced strawberries.

Between the middle and top layers of cake, she wanted lemon curd. She asked for the cake to be rustic looking but also have fresh flowers matching her bouquet. The frosting was to remain white, white cake too. The cake needed to be tasty. No fondant, no gum paste, no-frills. I agreed to make her cake. She was thrilled with the results. I asked guests not to take pictures because I was embarrassed. But she got what she wanted.
