Making my own wedding cake

Thank you so much Sarah! I am thinking one of the cakes should be a lemon-blueberry pound cake. And I agree, a powdered sugar dusting is easy and can be done on the day.

Thank you for your input, much appreciated!

OMG, that sounds delicious!!! I love Grand Marnier, but have never come across this cake! My fiancee loves rum cake, but I suspect he'll love this more!
Thank you ever so much :-)

Making my own wedding cake

Folks,

thank you so much for your responses (and well wishes!). I think it's a great idea to make my favourite and the grooms favourite and one more. Apricot and almond sounds really fresh and interesting.
I'm thinking perhaps make a couple of large bundt cakes and the rest in the mini version as I otherwise might go insane. LOL
It's gonna be fun experimenting, though. I'll keep you posted!!

Thanks again,

Elin

Making my own wedding cake

I am planning to make my own wedding cakes, in the form of 1 cup mini bundt cakes (http://www.decuisine.co.uk/cookshop/bakeware/garland-minibunt-mould.html?id=0e275cedc20deaa90089ec9971a56ba5.1250244359&&referal=/cookshop/bakeware/nordicware_bakeware.html).
I have got the moulds, so all I need now is a good recipe. One of my very favourite recipes is the apple spice cake (http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/a...). However, because I have to make about 80 of these (!), I need to be able to make them in advance and freeze them, but I am not sure this will freeze well because of the moisture in the apples.
Can anyone please give me advise or suggest a good recipe that will freeze well and also is easy to make in bulk?

Thanks!
