1st Wedding Cake

My cousin Tina has been asking me since Christmas if I would make her wedding cake for September 17th of this year. So I said yes. Her wedding was Royal blue and silver with stars so the cake ended up being Royal Blue with silver stars.

The cake was 3 tiers to feed 150 people. Oh man, was there a lot left over! I learned that if there are 150 people that doesn't mean that they will all eat cake. 

 The top and bottom tiers were white and the middle was chocolate. It was iced with vanilla butter cream and covered in blue fondant.

I made the cake stand for the cake specifically. I took 8 glass blocks and covered the unfinished side with blue and silver ribbon to match the cake. I then put Christmas lights inside to light it up nicely. I thought it looked really good and made the cake look more grand.

 I get to make my aunt's weding cake for next moth, that should be a lot of fun!

Happy New Year!

I hadn't made a cake in awhile and I was really itching to so I decided to make one for when I went to visit my family in Oshkosh.

I posted picture of it on Facebook when I was done and my cousins saw it. When I pulled up to the house my cousins daughter, Grace, was peeking out the window, checking to see if I had the cake. I was greeted at the doors by my cousins being all excited because the cake actually cake with me. They werent sure if I was bringing it with me or if I had made it for a different occasion.

It was a big hit, even baby Stella loved it!

Grace loved eating the fondant pieces, apparently she is a sugar addict like me!

There was a lot left over but Grace and her brother Sam were more than happy to take a bunch home with them!

This was the first cake I took pictures of with my new camera. I am still terrible at taking pictures but they seem a little better than they did with the camera I bought in college. :)
