A June Wedding

My first Wedding Cake was a blast. My sister in law told her sister about me and after chatting briefly she asked me to do her cake. I was so excited as this would be my first Wedding Cake and I have been so excited to for the chance to add to my portfolio. Becki was an excited and easy to please. After a few drawings we finally landed on a design and then all I had to do was plan :) 

This wasn't just any wedding either, it was a wedding back in my hometown, so my first cake was a traveling cake, and a wedding cake ;)

I set out to do research and figure out the best way to do this, cause not only was this cake special it was also a cake that would have 2 'fake' tiers since the they didn't want to serve the cake just mostly for pictures. I decided to make the fake tier bases prior to leaving for my parents and bake the cake and do all decorating there. 

 Here are a couple of shots of me doing the scroll work on the cake. Because my family is so busy, crazy, and full of small kids at this point I was wearing ear buds to block out the noise and keep me from getting distracted. My family was understanding and patient :)

 I was very happy with how the cake turned out and so was the bride and groom. 

I chose to sneak their names and the wedding date into the scroll work as an after thought and everyone thought it was a great idea and loved it!

 

 Congrats to Brian and Becki Grow!!!
