Well, over the past two months or so, I have been working on wedding cakes. My brother-in-law, Steven Oaks, just got married on 4-30-2011. They asked me to make their wedding cake. It was so much fun! I had never worked with fondant before and even with all my flower making classes, I never learned to make peonies, which was the main flower for the bouquet.
This first picture is of the wedding cake. It was 5 tiers on top of a cake stand. Talk about scary. All night I was so worried someone would bump the table and down it would come. It made it through the night though. Yeah!
They also asked me to make a cake for the open house on 5-07-2011. It was supposed to be a groom's cake, but the only thing I could think of that is all Steven is dancing. Kyla and Steven met while dancing at BYU-Idaho. They both love to dance! So I came up with this design and it turned out AWESOME, if I do say so myself. Ha Ha
I am really glad to be done with the cakes, but I had a blast doing them. In fact, I think it gave me the push I needed to start my wedding cake business. Mark and I are already planning it out and I have found some awesome cake stands. I can't wait to get started.
