Thanks Wayne, I didn't realise it was a uk thing. Can I assume that wedding
cakes in the US are sponge with frosting? I guess this rules out 3 tier
w/cakes? as I assume sponge wouldn't take the weight.
Newsgroup Uk.food+drink seems to be pitched more toward restaurant food, but
I think I'll repost it there. Thanks anyway.
