Another attempt at a ginger cake, as I continue my quest for the top tier of my wedding cake.
Next on the list was the Gingerbread Guinness cake from Tea With Bea. I got a bit nervous as the batter was alarmingly runny, but the cake came out brilliantly and I brushed it with some syrup from a jar of stem ginger to make it extra yummy.
Unfortunately, it still had an uneven top, but after a quick Twitter chat with Bea herself, I realised that I could just slice the top off to get the perfect cake for my needs.
It tasted even better after a few days, so I reckon this one’s a keeper. I’ll make the proper tier closer to the Big Day. Now just the chocolate middle layer to go…
Hey Kat, its Polly.
I hope all is well- when are you getting married? Sounds very soon!! I’m very impressed that you are making the cake, I would be lazy and get someone else to!! 😀
I look forward to hearing about the big day. Best wishes
Hi Polly, good to hear from you! We’re getting married at the end of December, so not long now. The cake is shaping up to be a challenge, but in a good way 🙂
Cheers,
K
