The cake!

Another shot of the cake, or well, the three cakes. (And there's a spare in the fridge.)

starter
And the food - the starter was this cheesecake with red onions, topped with bleak roe. It's on a bed of aragula (rocket) and served with a herb oil. Lena made it for our Twelwth night menu, and the recipe is posted here. (In Swedish.)

varm
Slow-cooked beef tenderloin with potato au gratin and a chanterelle sauce

dessert
And for dessert, vanilla ice cream with strawberry sauce

It was a wonderful day and a great party! Must admit that I'm a bit tired now, but it was all worth it. I'm really pleased with how the cakes finally turned out - but let me just say that for my birthday tomorrow, I'm BUYING a cake...

You did a great job, Anne. May I ask what was the cake like inside? Do you have a photo of the cut cake?

The cakes look beautiful, as does the bride! I like the sound of that cheesecake (hold the roe). You must sit back and take it easy now Anne.

Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! (That's one for each photo. : )

What a lovely couple and a gorgeous spread. I bet everyone had a fabulous time. I made a wedding cake (well, three cakes stacked) once for a dear friend, so I know a little of what you were going through. What a tremendous job you did.

And, most importantly, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNE!!!! Seems like you just had one--how fast the time goes by. xxx

Alissa - sure, I'll make a separate post of it.

Tesse, I'm so glad you're pleased :) And you know, to get good friends, you have to be one - and you sure are. *hugs*

Wow - check out those fantastic cakes! The next time I renew my vows, I know who I'm asking to do the cake... The couple look very happy & relaxed - and I'm intrigued by the savoury cheesecake starter.
