So, the baking for the official, final wedding cake has begun. The second of tonight's two 10" chocolate cake layers just came out of the oven. I'm doing them one at a time this time around to avoid the uneven effect I got last time on cakes from the second oven rack. On Tuesday I did all the shopping for the cake part of the cake. Some numbers of what's going into this: 20 cups of flour, 8 cups of cocoa powder, 8 cups of butter, 17 cups of sugar, 32 eggs, and one gallon of milk. Yum! Valrhona cocoa this time, which I found at the local Whole Foods. Very classy. I plan on posting fewer pictures this time around since, if you've been reading, you've already seen how all of this works. If you haven't, get cracking!
