A fair bit of brandy goes into the mixture, and that serves as a good preservative. Long before refrigeration was around a lot of couples kept the top layer of the cake to be eaten at the christening of the first baby. Some still do. There you are – a bit of wedding trivia for you.

One cool tradition from our wedding: we froze a hunk of the cake and ate it on our first anniversary.

It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be!

I’m glad you went with two cake choices. The spice cake sounds divine, but then, so does the chocolate. Isn’t cake-tasting fun! I’m a bit disappointed that sis won’t be making the cake though. I bet she could whip up something AMAZING!

I wanted to have 2 flavors too but couldn’t quite sell John on the idea.
