Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage. Lao Tzu
My sister, and her partner of many years are getting married - a formal blending of hearts and families.
The cake represents all the love this union brings to the couple, their kids and the extended family. The purple hearts are his, hers and theirs. All the hearts link to make one big heart that contains their love, or in this case, cake.
May sound corny to some, but that's just me, corny! I love a happy ending and I try to look for meaning and good in everything and everyone.
Ali and Rog, I wish you both the very best and look forward to your big day!
Keep an eye out for a post-wedding post!

The cookies are great, the cupcakes are beautiful and this cake is stunning. I just love how you do not just bake a cake but you bake a beautiful story into it. Best wishes to your sister and her soon to be husband and to their lovely blended family. The upcoming nuptials celebration party sounded like a ton of fun.

Thanks, Yvonne! My apologies - I thought I included a link to the recipe in this post. It's from one of my earlier posts here https://www.isugarcoatit.com/2011/08/vanilla-bean-dulce-de-leche-surprise.html. Just omit the Dulce de Leche addition and of course bake in round pans as indicated above!

Jacquee, this cake is stunning and I love the story about it. It's not called 'corny', it's called 'romantic' and I am right in there with you! Your flowers are really something else - they look so real!
