What is the value of a wedding cake?

There are many articles and discussions on what the price of a wedding cake is or what budget you should allocate.

Should I Make My Own Wedding Cake?

'Should I make the wedding cake?' is a question that is sometimes asked by some brides and grooms who have a love of baking as a hobby. Similarly, close relatives often consider offering to bake a couple's cake as their way of participating in and helping with the wedding day. So is it a good or bad idea to bake your own wedding cake, or bake for a friend or family member?

Chocolate Banana Cake with Tahini, Miso and Walnut

/
This chocolate banana cake recipe was born from the presence of overripe bananas in my fruit bowl. In this cake, the overripe bananas add moisture, flavour and a natural sweetness to what is a delicious chocolate cake recipe. The cake is filled with bittersweet tahini ganache, sweet and salty miso carmel, and walnut praline for some crunch. A really delicious cake for a weekend treat!
