Part 6/7:
With every layer assembled and infused with fruits like currants and zesty candied peel, the groom bakes a cake that embodies not just a culinary challenge but a symbol of love, unity, and heritage.
The Final Taste Test
Once complete, the cake is revealed, its appearance sparking curiosity as to the flavors encased within. After a taste test, it turns out more moist than anticipated, suggesting a balance of flavors that—while reminiscent of holiday spices—does not overshadow the cake's identity as a wedding cake.
The groom assesses the cake's uniqueness and notes an exciting departure from the conventional cake one might expect at a wedding. While it won't be the cake served at the upcoming celebration, it remains a charming tribute to the wedding culture of the past.
