So i haven't been on the Internet very much the last four days, so that's why i haven't posted anything. I was kind of busy with my first wedding cake. Exciting.... i know!! Well for me at least! I actually started on Tuesday by making icing and Wednesday i make cake batter(i ended up with 8 batched of it!!)
Thursday was a fun full day of baking 12 layers for the cake and icing. 3 layers for each tier, which means 4 tiers for all you math pros out there! I started at 9am baking and got done baking them around 3 i believe. I iced the tiers, till i ran out of icing, until about 10:30 Thursday night!
Friday i started around 9:30 after i let my sleepy husband sleep in for a while. I put the fondant on, and piped the dots until about 11pm. But thankfully by then i had finished it. My hand was looking a little limp from piing and using a rolling pin all day and my arms and back were pretty sore, i think the bottom tier weighed in around 25-30lbs. It was a MASSIVE cake. I didn't end up going to bed till 2am then got up at 5am and fought with a 3yr old till 6:30 and by the time i got in bed at 7 and closed my eyes dax woke up around 7:45! Thankfully Chris knew i had a rough night trying to get some sleep he got up with the Kids and let me sleep till 10! I've not done that in a while!
Saturday was just a crazy, i took the cake to the reception around three just to show Mrs. Jamie and Mr. John and then came back around 5:30 just to get it all set up for the reception at 7! It was a beautiful reception and i have pictures but forgot my camera there. So later this week i will post pictures of it! But for now i have 2 pictures of the cake that i can show you. I was really nervous the whole night. I sat at the closet table just to hear what people were saying about it! Paranoid...i am!! SO here it is!
Well there it is! Im off now to go Grocery Shopping! Fun Fun! I will post more pictures later!
That cake looks awesome!! I bet it tasted even better! Goodness...now I have a major sweet tooth :) Oh and how in the world did you accomplish that with a newborn and 3 year old??
