Piece of Cake???

Recently one of the couples in our church celebrated there 25th wedding anniversary. Praise the Lord. There family had a suprise party for them. I asked if I could do anything to help and they responded that I could make a cake that was some what weddingish. Well sometimes I get these great ideas and sometimes not so great ideas. I decided I was going to go all the way and just make a wedding cake. Now you see the only cakes I have ever made have been the kids birthday cakes. So now realizing I have a lot of work to do I went to talk to my mom who works in a bakery/deli. She has never made a decorated cake either. She offered her help anyhow. This kind lady by God's grace gave me some great advice in the cake decorating isle. I also had a crash course in rose making and so did my mom. Well as you can see it wasn't a complete disaster and actually it was fun. My only piece of advice is you need more than 2 hours to decorate a cake. So anyway, was my idea great? At the time I was not thinking so. But now that everything turned out and the cake actually did make it to the party, it wasn't such a bad idea.
And by the way, Thanks mom, I love you!!
