THE cake.

I am not much of a plastic-figurine-cake-topper kind of person. In fact, I'm not much of a 3 tiered cake kind of person either.

So it figures that having a tall stack of our all-time favourite chocolate brownie (yes, from the recipe on the back of the flour bag...) is both taste-ly satisfying as well as meaningful. It will be inspired by the traditional french wedding cake - The Croquembouch


Okay okay.
I admit that that is not a genuine Croquembouch. But the chocolate eclairs look so much more appealing when coated in chocolate rather than sticky spun toffee.


Replace the eclairs with dark fudgey brownie packed with white chocolate (and perhaps raspberries?), replace the spun toffee with white and dark chocolate dribble (much like the first Croquembouch), serve with large bowls of cold, thick, Greek yoghurt.. voila! The perfect 'Jesse and Christina' wedding cake.

Now, to disguise it in wedding attire; Cake Toppers.

I have seem some disturbing cake toppers in my time. But not these.

Oh no.

These are adorable! Despite the fact that they would take forever to make. I can't put aside the idea of a bird bride and groom since Rach suggested it!

Cara of Peonies and Polaroids shows how to make them here. Her and her The Boy constructed them together... along with ten billion other DIY wedding projects.
