Practice Makes . . . Well, Better

I can't say the wedding cake turned out perfect, because I'm starting to believe that there is no such thing as a perfect cake. But, I was really happy with it overall. It was much, much, much easier and prettier than the 'practice' one I made for Gerald's birthday party. There were a few minor mishaps.  Like when we had a small freak accident, and some heavy photo albums fell on the already frosted and fondant-covered cake...aaaacckkkk!  There was a good half-inch deep dent in a couple places on the cake.  It was amazing how easy it was to fix, though.  You could hardly see but a little line after I worked out the dent, and I put a few dots over it and put it in the back.  Phew!  We also had kids that couldn't resist the temptation to touch the cake, both the night before when I was setting it up and at the wedding.  (Katelee was innocent this time - not like when I was making Gerald's birthday cake and she walked right up and helped herself to a bite!)  But it survived the kids, too, and it was actually pretty funny!  I mean seriously, what a temptation a big cake like this must be to a little kid - especially the big dots on the bottom layer.  The kids just had to walk up and take one to sample!  So funny!

   

The photographer took some professional pictures that I will post when I get ahold of them, but here are some I snapped just for now.
