Newest endeavor

Well, I know it's been awhile, but I've been busy (as usual) preparing for my latest cake creation. I've done several tiered and/or stacked cakes, but this was my official first wedding cake..complete with the official label. I was so excited about it and I'm still flying high even though it has long since been devoured. Did it require a lot of work? Yes. Did I learn anything? Yes, fondant ribbons are hard, next time I'm going to use chocolate clay. Did I have fun? Yes. Was it worth it? Oh you betcha! Will it be my last wedding cake? Lord willing, I pray it is not!

So who was the brave soul to let me do their wedding cake without any other wedding cakes in my portfolio? My cousin Steve and his gal, Angela. They have simple taste so they chose a simple, yet elegant cake. It was an all white cake with buttercream filling and frosting under homemade fondant. It was adorned with a fondant ribbon, fondant leaves, chocolate roses, and chocolate pearls. I received many compliments which always makes a girl feel good, but I couldn't have done it without the Lord my God. He is the reason I can do something like that. Thank you Lord.

Well, without further ado, here is the picture (although I think it was much better in real life):
