May Wedding Cake - Bottom Tier (12 inch)

Of all the layers and cakes I made for this project, this was the one that I dreaded the most! Probably because it's the biggest one I've ever baked and it only just fitted in my oven.  It seems crazy that you can't get a 12-inch tin in the oven.

This cake rests on a 14" board and is surrounded by a handcrafted rose garland, chosen by the bride and groom.

I will be traveling with its internal dowels that will be used to support the rest of the cake
