  • This is the most critical part. Take care not to colour outside the lines!

    The art of the rainbow wedding cake

    Over the past … almost month (!) since Andy & I got married, there’s been a lot of talk about cake.  And a fair bit about ‘big gay rainbows’ as well.  I’d found this rainbow cake idea somewhere online, and after a successful test-run last year, decided to make another…
