Our friends Lou and Ollie got hitched and asked all their friends who bake to make a cake to put towards the dessert following the wedding breakfast. A lovely idea to get people involved in their big day... but I could feel the pressure.
I thought it best to stick with Nigella's Chocolate and Guinness Cake as it always goes down well. It turned out fine even though I forgot to change the measurements on my scales and measured everything in millilitres.
There was a fine turnout, with everything from lemon tarts to carrot cupcakes, rocky roads to millionaires shortbread. People got over excited and decided to take a little of everything instead of one large slab of one thing and it all disappeared pretty quickly!
The wedding cake was made by Lou's friend Frann, renown as one of the best bakers of all the friends (she nearly made it to The Great British Bake Off). I have tried her baking skills a few times and can say her cakes, biscuits and cheesecakes are really tasty but often have really cute ideas in them too, she has a blog too - so check her out!
