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!

I hope you will see the love that went into it!

I know they loved this beautiful wedding cake. Your love shone through.

The fresh roses and babys' breath were just the right touch. So beautiful.

I'm sure they loved it. I really like the "quilted" middle layer.

Beautiful cake - what an honor to be part of their greatest memory day.

JanieH 06-08-2012 10:36 AM

That is a beautiful cake - decorated wonderfully!

Every time they look at a picture of this gorgeous cake made so lovingly by you, it will be an everlasting reminder of how much you loved his dad and how much you love them to make such a sacrifice and labor of love.
They couldn't have ordered a custom made cake that would mean so much to them.
Your brother would have been so very blessed to have been part of the wedding celebration and part of all of your lives and he is forever in your hearts. I pray the Lord's blessings upon their union and upon you also.
