Latest Wedding Cake

Here's the latest cake I've done. It was President Nuttle's son. Some of you may know of them. Anyway the mother of the bride is one of my mom's best friends and I was honored that they asked me to make this cake. It was chocolate cake with mint buttercream and chopped andes mints. Seriously yummy! The caterer said they couldn't keep the chocolate cake coming fast enough for the guests. I also made three almond cakes with almond buttercream and raspberry filling. That too was sooooooo good. The flowers and all of the decor for the wedding was done by my Aunt Aleatha and my mom. They just started a business called True to You Designs. You can find them on facebook. I'm pretty sure Doug will be starting a website for them soon. I will post pictures of their stuff soon. They always blow me away. They even had me making some of the floral pieces. Not easy.

Have a great week everyone. I have 9 days left til we leave for Florida and I'm quarantining us until we leave. So don't take it personally but we aren't going anywhere unless we have to. After being sick for three weeks I think our immune systems need a break. We're still batteling strep and a bad ear infection. On the good side I think Ethan is feeling better today. He was singing Follow the Prophet as loud as he could while he was on the pot. That kid cracks me up!

New Moon Cake

This week I made a New Moon cake for my sister in law's sister in law. She loves New Moon and so Sarah wanted to suprise her with a New Moon cake. Her mom wanted to get her a little spring cake with flowers. I'm so glad that Sarah convinced her that Danielle would like the New Moon cake better. I was sick this last week so this cake came down to the wire plus I have a wedding cake to do for Saturday and I'm still working on getting the business started. Ugh!!! So much to do, but it's great! The flower on top and red petal is from the new moon cover, the red ribbon is from the cover of Eclipse, and the bottom tier is inspired by the movie. The crescent moon and spears are straight off the movie cover. I hand painted the background colors and the trees on the bottom tier. Oh and did you notice that the cake sparkles? Yay Team Edward! I'm not really sure why my dad put ivy leaves in the picture but bless his heart he thought it added something. Maybe it did. Once I photo shop it, it might look a little better. Just love dad for doing the pics cuz I suck at it. Thanks dad. Love ya.
