Rosanna shared some wedding scenes in her column this week. Among those scenes were some wedding cake photos.  Rosanna says a common wedding cake in her church is "cold water white cake."  Yum!  We've run this recipe before but with "wedding season" right around the corner for many people, we thought it would be a good time to run this column again.  Among the German Baptists weddings are common in May and June, but October is becoming increasingly popular.  German Baptist weddings are often held outside, so weather is a consideration.
Cold water cake is a common recipe for German Baptist weddings
