Trying Out Wedding Cake Components

Dinah and Eli requested something light, summery, and citrusy for their wedding cake and we talked about a few flavor options. I've spent the last couple weeks making (and freezing) all sorts of possible components. A couple spice cakes, a white chocolate cake, a plain white cake, buttercreams from four different books, lime curd, lemon curd, two blood orange curd recipes. Oh, and candied slices of lime. It got to be kind of a lot to keep track of. I had a chart at one point. Ended up assembling 5 different cakes, each with a unique combination of components. Stay tuned for pictures of the taste testing.
