The Wedding Cake!

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, I made a wedding cake! Mi Hermanito got married a couple of weeks ago and I was in charge of the wedding cake. All of that practice payed off because it turned out mostly pretty good! The bride (my new Sister) watched me working on part of it, and that was slightly nerve wracking. Imagine making a huge cake, that you have never made before, and having the bride sitting there, staring at you - plus assorted family members, whoa.

When I was making the first 12 inch layer, I put it in the oven, I was watching it, everything was going well...and then it fell. Luckily my mom's friend who makes wedding cakes had volunteered to help me, so I called her, very distraught, and she came over. Thank heavens for friends. We found out after the wedding that the top element on the oven I was using wasn't working, so the fact that I baked a wedding cake in that oven, and not all of the layers fell is pretty impressive, if you ask me.

The next big piece of news is my BFF is getting married in less than 6 weeks, hooray for her! She isn't sure what she wants for her cake (or if she is sure, she still hasn't sent me a picture), so we may be in for round two here in a little more than a month!
