Too hot for a White Wedding

For the last several months, myself and the management team where I work have been counting down to a big day, the wedding of one of our team leaders, JJ, to his fiance Stacey. They asked me ages ago to make the cake for the 1st of October and I gladly agreed, never for a moment thinking I would have quite so many issues with it.

The week of the wedding rolled around and just happened to be the hottest week we have had all year, temperatures in the high 20's every day. Yes, you read that right, hottest week of the year...in September!

I had to get creative with my fondant as it kept sticking in the heat, and I had a serious panic towards the end of the week when the fondant just wouldn't harden off, but in the end the cake looked beautiful, the bride and groom loved it and it was great seeing all the reactions at the wedding reception.
