Cakes and cakes and cakes and cakes and cakes

My first attempt at cake making. I'm getting ready for my brother and his wife's big wedding party (they got married in August in Hawaii). I'm making cakes for each table, or something like that. This is a "Lady Baltimore Cake" found in a really cool cookbook called, "Southern Cakes" by Nancie McDermott. It has some wonderful cake recipes in it, beautiful pictures, and cool stories about where the recipes came from. I'm not sold on this recipe because of the frosting. It just seems too much like marshmallow fluff to me...however, I may just not have made it right...I need to borrow my sister's hand mixer so I don't have to whisk everything myself. Pretty intense stuff.
