My First Wedding Cake

My friend asked me to make her wedding cake. She wanted three layers of chocolate cake for her 150 guests and a rich fruit cake on the top for herself.

The largest cake is 12 inches, the next layer 10 inches, the third layer 8 inches. They are all four inches high chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling and chocolate ganache and covered with icing. The top layer of fruit cake was 6 inches covered with marzipan and icing. I decorated the cake with aqua coloured butterflies and fondant figures of the bride and groom and their two children.
