I'll bet it tasted great, too.Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264419866877407201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-79669595864436274912009-03-28T08:19:00.000-04:002009-03-28T08:19:00.000-04:00I just love all the pictures!

I can't decorate it to save my life though LOL.<BR/><BR/>And Steph~~ Your story sounds so frustrating but I hope you're able to look back on it and laugh now! Well, maybe? :) A little?

We have some around here too, for when we need them. I don't like that they turn my white sneakers gray though.<BR/><BR/>That supper looks soooooo good! I'm glad you enjoyed it, even if you had to pay for it later.<BR/><BR/>Your kitchen looks completely wonderful. Why are you moving again? (I know, you already said.)<BR/><BR/>That is a heart-breaking cake. Here's how I get around that, or try to. If my cake is humped on the top, I cool it right-side-up. Also, I don't turn them out of the pan until the pan is cool enough to lay (and keep there) my hand on the bottom of the pan. After the cake is cooled, I get a long knife and slice off the hump. Then, I turn it up-side-down on the cardboard.<BR/><BR/>I think Steph must have rockets in her shoes to do a tier in 3 1/2 hours from start to finish! I'm surprised the dog is still alive. I would have strangled him with my bare hands!Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648805632326563495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-65922025831861441502009-03-27T13:01:00.000-04:002009-03-27T13:01:00.000-04:00Steph - that is AWFUL!

I can't imagine doing another one in 3 1/2 hrs, but when you get into WORK REALLY FAST mode, amazing things do happen.Miriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171889409871334109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-57669351388451382912009-03-27T12:53:00.000-04:002009-03-27T12:53:00.000-04:00I love your wedding cake.

The last wedding cake that I did was for the daughter of a couple that we used to attend church with. It was a square cake like yours but mine was covered in an olive-green fondant. Well, DH and the kids had gone on down to his parent's for the weekend and I was going to follow the next day after delivery of the cake. <BR/><BR/>I finished the cake up early (for once) and I left to go run a couple of errands real quick. My parents happened to be home with their dog for the weekend (we lived with them at the time). She has never bothered any of my cakes before and I had no reason to believe that she would this time. <BR/><BR/>I came home about and hour and a half later to the bottom corner of the cake GONE!! My mother thought it was hilarious! She wanted me to cut bake a small cake and replace the bottom corner!! Unbelievable! And no, I did NOT do that!<BR/><BR/>I had 3-1/2 hours to bake, cool, ice, fondant cover, and put icing dots all over the bottom tier of the cake!! I had to go buy another pan, some cake mixes, etc., called my neighbor to borrow her oven, and clean out the freezer enough to throw in 2 layers! <BR/><BR/>So, I can totally sympathize with you! I have gone on to make more cakes, but since we've moved I've not made any wedding cakes. I will be making my in-law's 50th wedding ann. cake later this year, but that dog will be no where around when I do!!Steph Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06284475573894548307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8364051899386841101.post-39237980153177886152009-03-27T08:25:00.000-04:002009-03-27T08:25:00.000-04:00Girl, you crack me up!!I desperatly need a pair of...Girl, you crack me up!!<BR/><BR/>I desperatly need a pair of boots like that--or just good ol' rubber boots. <BR/><BR/>I love your wedding cake making skills! I'm making a 25th anniversary cake for DH's Aunt next month--it is a recreation of their wedding cake. Now, I am a bit nervous after seeing your cracked mess.<BR/><BR/>And, thanks for throwing in there that the "low cholesterol" meal gave you a stomach ache. I was in major amounts of envy until I read that! :)<BR/><BR/>I've been enjoying the sunrises as well.
