First Timer's Wedding Cake

One week researching on the internet and books, three days coming up with the actual design on blueprint and planning, plus three more days of actually making it in various stages.....this is the outcome............

Yup, I made a wedding cake for a very close family friend. They are FINALLY tying the knot, so why not! This is also my first attempt of making a fondant type cake. I made everything from scratch, except for the flowers, I didn't grow them!!! :) I didn't tell them about the cake coz I don't want to dissapoint anyone if it turned out to be a disaster and I didn't have a cake to give when they expected it. Well...it turned out to be a lovely surprise for them...they didn't expect it...LOL



I did so much research on the type of cake that I was really really stressed out! It also had to be assemble over the course of three cakes. So lets say that I screwed up on day three...I'm pretty much done and over with!!! Didn't have the time to do any thing else...and all effort would have gone down the drain!

The toughest part, surprisely, was baking the cake itself. I guessed I was a little over confident with the cake part since I bake a fair amount of it with no major disaster. The part which I thought would most likely to fail turned out to be the "easiest".

Of course, by the end of the whole thing, I was totally exhausted to say the least and was not really paying a whole lot of attention to what I'm doing. Main goal at the end was just finished up with whatever and slap it aside!! Hehehhe...bad attitude but with barely six hours of sleep each day and having to do everything else...it was definintey a brain drain!



Ed thought it was pretty good especially for a first-timer and asked if I was gonna start a new profession. Sure....that and find a cure for Cancer and AIDS, end world hunger, create world peace...oh yah oh yah.....find time to sleep...:)

Just for you guys, N & K, congrats again!!!! See ya this weekend!!! :)

PS: Did I mention I LOVE FONDANT!!!! They are like foundation, pretty much cover up MOST "blemishes"!!! ;)

PSS: San, CONGRATS AGAIN on your baptism!! Sorry that I didn't know....I'm a lousy friend!! :(
