How Long To Make A Wedding Cake?

I just did a wedding cake and grooms cake. I tried to track all the time spent on it-mixing, baking, cutting boards, making roses and icing, etc. The cakes were: double layer horseshoe with a few roses/message
12", 10", 6" with roses around each base (approx 75) and a second 6" for the first anniversay. Swags on the side with swiss dots.
I ended up with about 18 hours. Is this reasonable or quite slow? I think there is a picture in my picts. Thanks for your thoughts! 
That's hard to answer. If you are doing it out of your home oven with a small mixer...of course it will take you hours longer. Some things can be done during baking...did you count them as separate time? I think I could do this in 5 or 6 hours, but I have professional equipment. It is very hard to compare it.
Well, if the cowboy couple is the cake you were talking about, no. It is gorgeous! Everyone decorates at their own pace and some of us can just whip out a gtorgeous cake in no time while the same cake will take the rest of us 18 and even more hours. I think the term "reasonable" depends on how happy you are with your artistic endeavors.
I have been working on my first wedding cake all week long. It's a 3 tier 2 layer cake. It's apple caramel (Martha Stewart recipe) with caramel cream cheese filling. Butter cream frosting decorated like presents. Really cute but I literally have been baking the past 3 days.
