    Hi there,

    Hope some of you may just help me!
    My friend recently asked me to make a tier of her wedding cake. She wants a carrot cake as one tier. I make my own carrot cake but im just wondering if anyone has ever made a "wedding carrot cake" before?
    What size/dimensions etc and how you might decorate it?!
    Or if anyone has a good recipe I can try out??!

    Ive got lots of time to experiment (1 year!!!) but i want it to be perfect so im starting early!!

    Thanks so much for any help! :)

    The size/dimensions will depend on the size of the other tiers obviously, has she given you the sizes of these, and if your tier is the top/bottom/middle, round/square etc?

    Also just let her know to check with the venue if they accept wedding cakes from non HSE approved kitchens, some hotels have gotten quite strict on this so best to check.

    I haven't tried this but odlums recipes are generally quite nice and they have a wedding carrot cake with measurements for 3 different tin sizes

    Hi riddle diddle, I made a deep 12" tier from this recipe , but with quantities multiplied by three. This amount gave two deep layers with a little left over, enough to trim the cake to the desired matching depth of other tiers.

    The recipe multiplies well, use a very big bowl and a powerful hand mixer. Pm me for more advice if you'd like :) on the day it went down really well, cut really well and was totally eaten by the guests, some going for seconds, thirds etc. :)
