Ok, I lied.

I couldn't really wait to post the final project for this cake.  I know the bride and groom are at the hall now (or should be!!).  And just for the record, this bride and groom were pretty kick-bum!  SUCH a fun couple!
So...I like the cake, and I hope you guys like it, too!

The finished product.

Sneak Peak...kind of

Here's a little bit of a look at the cake I'm working on for a wedding reception this evening.  I have a lot of piping to do with this cake, so I decided to give my hands a break with this!  So far I have one side of the cake completely done.  All it took was 1 1/2 hours! Ha!

I'll post the final product tomorrow sometime - I don't want the bride to see the it all done before the big party!

Here's a look at my 'work station'.

Coffee and cake!  Need anything more??

And while I work, my puppy is here...

...or here!

Surprise Carrot Cake

This is a cake that I made for the people who I did my first wedding cake for.  For the wedding cake, the groom's only request was that there was a layer of carrot cake...which he never ended up getting a piece of.  The bride (though they have been married over a year now) asked for this cake for a surprise for her husband.  I thought it was a great idea!  This was the same carrot cake, with the same icing, and the same ribbon from their wedding.  I just added some of the mini fondant roses to it.  I heard it was quite yummy!
