My Wedding Cake
I was fooling about not blogging any more but being too busy was the truth. A week has flown by since my last post. Holly turned 10 and my parents arrived yesterday for a visit. Things won't slow down anytime soon but I am still here.
Kim from The Continuing Adventures of SlugMom requested a picture of my wedding cake so here it is. I couldn't find a cake topper that I like so I settled for the Precious Moments. But what I hated was the tacky blue flowers all over it. The cake decorator told me that she could put some silk flowers around the base and showed me some pictures of other cakes that she had done. They were pretty. Pastel pink and white. She said that she did the blue to match my bridesmaids dresses. Blue is my favorite color, especially navy, royal and sapphire. But it doesn't belong on a wedding cake. I didn't see it until after the wedding, the pictures and the reception line. I was horrified. But what could I do at that point? John liked it. He said it tasted great. I said I didn't care about the taste. It should have been pretty.

Me too!! Wow, we had the same topper AND blue flowers!! Too funny!
The cake looks awesome though.. yummy!! What a fun flashback!
That is quite the fancy cake with all the layers and additions and bridges and such- the dark blue flowers is a distinct look, isn't it!
What a lovely looking cake!
Thank you for the info about LOST - I wondered what was going on! I can't wait.
Your cake doesn't look bad. I think it was nice - I'm with John pretty is overrated - a yummy cake is way more important!
And it was so sweet of Gabe to call Kendra - he thought today was her birthday. Tell him thanks.
Yes, it can be quite the disappointment when, in your mind, you are expecting something totally different. I'm sure nobody else ever realized that anything was out of line. Besides, you two made a beautiful couple, so they were probably just focusing on the bride and groom. :-)
Oooh I'm so sorry I almost missed your direct reply to my inquiry!
That is a very interesting cake decor approach. I can see how, if it wasn't what you asked for, you might not appreciate it. :) Thanks for showing us!!!
My cake had fairly bright turquoise frosting flowers on it. I should see if I can find a picture ... :-)
A Belated HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! It's fun getting caught up with you. What a big cake, you must have had a large wedding. I love all those fountains & bridges on cakes. Today's my Wed. Anniv. & so I shared some of our faux pas too. My cake was much different than yours though.
