Wedding Cake
 

On Tuesday 6th June, my lovely nephew married his sweetheart. When they announced their engagement they asked me to make the cake.

I am always making cakes and have done a few lovely ones, but I have never made one that was so important.... I mean, if you mess up a birthday cake you can always nip to the shops an buy another one... but a wedding cake. But I had to agree.......he is the only son of my wonderful older brother who died 6 years ago at the very young age of 43..... we were very close and I miss him so much so to be involved in the wedding of his only son was was a must for me.... but I was so worried.

Anyway, the wedding has been and gone and they both said that they loved the cake..... one layer Vanilla, one Lemon and one Chocolate! So I thought I would show it to my friends on the board!

Caroline, it is soooooo very beautiful. Yes, I can see the love. What a blessing you must be to your nephew and his new bride. Wow!

Aren't fresh flowers on a cake the greatest? How did you do the middle layer? It looks woven. Gorgeous!!

Beautiful cake and I see you put a quilting touch to it on the second layer!

What a gorgeous cake!! And it sounds delicious. Wish you were here, I'd hire you for my daughter's wedding.

Your cake is absolutely beautiful and elegant, and it is obviously made with love! You feel blessed to have been asked to make the cake, and they are blessed to have had you make it.

I could look at that cake again & again. It is so pretty. I've never seen fresh flowers on a cake. I see & feel the love you put into making this cake. And as someone already said--I love the quilting touch to the second layer. Now I want to go back & look at it again. If I ever marry, I would love to have you make the cake. Added to favorites.

You should be proud. The cake is perfect.
