Always trust your instincts!

Mhmm - I knew it. I just KNEW it. Freezing a cake screws up the texture. Plain and simple.

Many people commented on the fact that the cake tasted good, but the texture was different from before..."it wasn't as moist" was popular. Thus, I have confirmed my decision to NOT freeze the cakes ever. So, I'll simply spend the day or two before the wedding baking 6 layers of cakes. NO SWEAT!

The royal icing = a favorite. Pretty sure this is going to be the official icing of the wedding, but I will clearly still experiment from time to time.

The fondant was not my favorite. It was sort of chewy - which I hear means I overworked it. I found this amusing because I think I kneaded it for a total of 2 minutes before giving up and just rolling it out. However, I am willing to try working with fondant again because it made such a fantastically smooth cake! So I suppose I am now searching for more fondant recipes to make my own SUPER-fondant that actually tastes good and behaves how I want it to.

Thats right fondant - I'm the boss.
