Let them eat cake!

And they did! 

A thin layer of white chocolate buttercream separates a decadent carrot and cream cheese interior from its  fondant wrapping...Pure and unadulterated food porn.

My pastry chef sister and maker of wedding cake tells me fondant is sugar, sugar, and more sugar helped along by a few other key ingredients that turn it into a kind of rolled icing.  This traditional wedding cake gloss holds its form.  It is fabulous for sculpting things like the pretty pink roses and green leaves on our cake.

I'd say our guests loved it.  At the end of the night we asked for the leftovers.  All that remained was the smallest top tier.  In my conspiracy theorist head, I began suspecting the club might be serving my carrot cake for desert the next day. So I spent the next few days making phone calls, confirming cake consumption with my guests.  Turns out some like it so much, they ate it twice!

Still trying to figure out what happened to the roast beast though!
