my first wedding cake

Finally, at last, I'm sharing with you my very first wedding cake.  The picture to the left is a little teaser, but first let me explain. 

I was extremely nervous to do a wedding cake for anyone so my policy was I DON'T DO WEDDING CAKES.  Never say never....

My aunt, after a long story with many details that I won't go into,  met someone special, fell in love and they decided to get married.  After years of thinking she would never marry and being perfectly content with that, God, in his amazing love, sent her someone.  Someone who would love and cherish her as she does him.  Someone to share this life with, to share her hopes and dreams with and to share her Christian walk with.  I think she deserves this awesome blessing and so did her Father God!

 

So Aunt Sammie asked me to make her cake.  She made me feel completely at ease saying that it didn't have to be fancy or super duper perfect.  She knew that I could do it and wanted to build my confidence.  I wanted to be able to bless her with a pretty wedding cake.  So it was settled.

I was pleased with the way the cake turned out  and so were the happy couple.  The cake was all white almond (which is my new favorite by the way) with buttercream filling.  I covered the cakes with beige fondant and we went with a little bit of a grape theme.  So without further ado, here are a few pictures.

She was beautiful and the cake looks stunning as well. I still can't believe I missed it. I guess that's what newborns will do for you. :0P
