The opportunity presented itself for me to make a wedding cake. The picture she sent me was this very simple rustic looking cake with a burlap bow on it. When I arrived to set it up, I was in love with the reception hall. Burlap everywhere! But maybe I was a little partial to it because she and I had the same wedding colors - purple and green.
After an entire day of baking cakes, I finally finished up Friday night. I had them all crumb coated and was able to make it to bed at 12:57a, 3 minutes ahead of schedule! However, as the morning came, I quickly became behind schedule between cleaning up my mess from the night before, running to the store for more Cisco, feeding children, etc. I had planned to take the cake over around 11, but I didn't leave here until 12:30, and when I arrived, the doors were locked. But I calmly was able to put the cake together, as I played hostess for people coming and going.
With a few days notice, they added an additional sheet cake to the order. I added the same "messy" touch touch to it. I was glad I was able to complete that cake at home. More so I was thankful both layers came out of the pan without any problems!
Right before I left, someone brought the letter to add to the top of the cake. If I would have know that, I would have brought reinforcements for it. Hopefully it doesn't fall down between now and serving time!
So tell me, for my first wedding cake, how did I do?
You did awesome!!!! Wish I was getting married so you could do mine - oh wait - maybe an anniversary cake sometime!!!
