I am starting to freak out about my schedule over the next few weeks. Between leaving work, planning a hen do, making a wedding cake and decorating a venue I feel a little bit like my head is spinning. And this is silly because I am the one who offered to do all of these things. The problem is not that I am doing them but that I am putting the pressure on myself to make sure they're amazing, and essentially being a massive control freak about them.
It also doesn't help that I have really bad PMS and am generally having a massive freak out about EVERYTHING from the state of my friendships, my complete lack of a love life (whats new there) and the fact that this time next week (most likely) I will be unemployed!
I know everything will be alright, I do, just right now everything feels so out of my control and foggy and I can't stand that. AHH!
So my schedule for the week of making the cake.

So my schedule for the week of making the cake.
- Four days ahead: make the sponge cakes and wrap in plenty of cling film
- Three days ahead: place the sponge cakes onto thin cake boards and ice with buttercream
- Two days ahead: cover the cakes with fondant icing and insert dowelling rods
- On the day: stack the cakes and decorate once the cakes are in place
