wendy and alberto's reception was last night, and i volunteered to bake and decorate a wedding cake.
i wasn't sure how long it would take me to decorate the cakes, so i baked them on wednesday. wendy said she wanted a tasty cake with pretty decorations. that didn't give me
much to go off of, the bottom cake was white with raspberry jam; the middle chocolate with carmel frosting, and the top was strawberry with chocolate mousse. mamsis was nice enough to send me an icing recipe and a website to help me assemble it. the website said to use straws to support the tiers, but i used dowel rods instead. although i practiced my decorating technique, i can't do anything too complicated (even the simple drop flowers didn't look perfect every time). luckily josh agreed
to help me out, so he did most of the decorating.
we did drop flowers on the top and viney lines on the sides with flowers. i like doing the cake, even though it was a lot of work. and everyone at the party told me what a nice job i'd done. the party was a lot of fun. we had phillipino ice cream and spring rolls, and chinese, italian, and ethiopan dishes.

Lucy,
Your cake is beautiful. You (two) should be proud!
Are you still lovin' the Dyson?
that cake is awesome looking! and the flavors make my mouth water. glad you had fun at the party!
Wow! The cake is FABULOUS! I love the colors - It looks beautiful and it sound delicious, too. It was so nice of Josh to help - he looks very professional with that pastry bag! I'm sure the bride and groom, their friends and family, too, appreciated your kind favor. Glad the recipes and web site helped. But You guys deserve all the credit. Ready to go into the cake-baking business?
nikki asked me if she could be my number one assistant when i started my bakery. and helina asked what other baked goods i could make. i didn't actually eat the cakes, since i was so sick of looking at them and eating icing.
your cake looks fab! I can't believe that the website suggested straws. I have never seen anything but dowel rods used.
