I'm Back

It's been quite a long time since I've blogged. I just haven't been in the mood, either that or I can't get to it because my now 2 year old keeps me from doing anything personal. It's been a crazy couple of months. I made a wedding cake for a dear friend of mine from college and they liked it so much that her sister has asked me to make her wedding cake as well. I'm still contemplating doing hers. I was also asked to make a birthday cake for someone in my Ward, which I absolutely loved doing. I have lots of pictures to get up here to show those of you who read my blog. But I will start with the wedding cake that I made back in August.




I made a sheet cake, a 4 tier cascading cake, and a grooms cake. The sheet cake and the wedding cake were yellow cake with a strawberry filling and some had a chocolate genoshe filling. The grooms cake was chocolate with a chocolate genoshe filling. The grooms cake was lots of fun. My friends now husband was a Marine for 4 years and he collects old war helmets. The grooms cake I made was a replica of one of the WWII hats he had re-painted himself. I copied all of the colors and his pattern and he loved it. The flowers on the wedding cake were ALL edible. It took a very long time to make those calla lillies and roses by hand. But the end result was worth it. It was worth all of the time I took to make this cake just to see how happy they were with the end result. All of the cakes had buttercream icing and the wedding cake also had a basket weave pattern with violet intertwined, which of course I did on my own. It took me a total of 4 days to make the 6 cakes. The first day I baked all of the cakes (the wedding cake was 2 layers each). Then it took me a day and a half to make all of those flowers and another day and a half to decorate. I will put up the birthday cake I made next time as well as some Halloween photo's of my little girl.
