A clarification... Didn't want people to think I had ants or mites in my rice. :sweat:

I merely thought it was flecks of teflon you added from the pan for crunchy, slippery texture

The furikake consisted of toasted sesame, nori, and bonito flakes... I love the smoky aroma of the bonito flakes... :bonk:

THe pics here are making me starving as usual.... :drooling:

Well, here is the delicious wedding cake my husband baked. A Norwegian bløtkake (strawberry cream cake) :mrgreen:

He baked it at a friends and then when it was being driven to the hotel they hit a bump and one side fell. So they made some emergency repairs at the hotels kitchen. The hotel people never had the Groom bake the cake before.

The little flags were hand painted by me for a little international flair. ;)

That's why I have organic ones sitting in my fridge. :woot:

That doesn't help Evie. :P

Too bad you didn't get a pic of the cake before the damage. Still looks delish though!! And that's so cool that your hubby baked his own cake. :D

I'll eat them with the pesticides....more flavor.

The Hotel couldnt even manage to save all our mostly full bottles of Akevit, somehow they disappeared by the next morning. :P

But I doubt we could have transported it home anyway. There was no frosting, just fresh whipped cream. Yum.

Everyone ended up eating two desserts actually. The chocolate cake the restaurant served was awesome too!

He was so nervous that day he'd never have thought of it.

I thought so too. It was good to put on own stamp on things. :victory:

And no, I doubt the berries were organic. :puppydog:

yes, it was indeed as delicious as it looks. it's too bad i was stuffed from the meal and then the two desserts. if i wasn't going to burst that night i definitely would have been back at the dessert table for seconds. :sweat: kudos to tom for baking a delicious cake. his rorschach blot crepes aren't bad, either. :mrgreen:

and as i've told you and tom before, you guys looked fabulous -- the waltz was awesome!

Eve,

Now that's what I call my kind of cake. It looks delicious...definitely perishable and not one to keep in the cupboard for the first anniversary.

Just in case you may be interested..in UK they always had three tiers for a wedding cake. The cake was always a dark fruit cake with almondpaste icing and then Royal white icing and any other decorations desired. The bottom large tier was cut for the wedding breakfast. Then the second tier was saved for the first anniversary. The top third tier was smaller and saved for the christening of the first child.

The cake was always better after being kept sealed as it was made with lots of rum or sherry etc. Almond paste was OK but the royal icing was more like cement after a few years......

You must ask your dear husband to make another similar cake in twelve months time... :dancing:
