Verla Kay's Wedding Cake
« on: September 01, 2012, 06:15 PM »
I just finished making my granddaughter's wedding cake for her reception this evening. (It starts in less than an hour.) I think the cake came out beautiful! It's totally homemake - the cake, the flowers, the frostings, everything. It's carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and buttercream decorations.  YUM!

OMG, Verla!!

Your cake looks amazing!! I love the colors, and the contrast of the dark violet flowers against the buttercream yellow! Brilliant!!!

I just wish everyone on the blue boards could taste it!  :yourock

It's completely beautiful! And what aplomb, to be putting the finishing touches on an hour before. Of course, we are used to deadlines, are we not. :)
