First Wedding Cake

An year old memories which I did not post due to my laziness or maseufiyat (a little bit of Urdu which I learnt watching serials).  

This was my first attempt to a wedding cake. Thanks Babu Uncle for giving me this chance to make is sons wedding cake  or I would have never thought of attempting it.  It was a task in itself, specially understanding the engineering of it. The cake was rum cake with lots or dry fruits.  The 3 tires where of 10", 8", 6" each.  The flowers were purple hydrangea. 

And before the final cake was made, there was a pre-run done, which was as below. 

This was finished by my kids and his friends and the church catechism children.
