HERE COMES THE BRIDES ...

Well, another wedding weekend has passed without a catastrophe, thank you Lord. Cakes were safely delivered for Andrea and James and we hurried off to photograph Aubrey and Robert's wedding. Here's the cakes from one and the bride and groom from the other.

MY KITCHEN SMELLS LIKE CHOCOLATE . . .

I'm busily working on a wedding cake for tonight and my kitchen smells like chocolate. Small wedding. Wedding cake serves 80 and groom cake serves 40. Mike and I will deliver the cakes at 4:30 and then stay to photograph the wedding. Because we love weddings. (We also design wedding storybook albums.)

I'm also working on a cake for a fund raiser. This event is to raise money to help pay for an evening gown for a Miss Oklahoma contestant. It's supposed to be beauuutiful. Should be.

The picture is a 50th wedding anniversary cake I made several years ago. The husband ran a furniture repair business for many years and they collect antiques together. The finish on the cake is . . . you guessed it. Chocolate. The pearls, hankie, pocket watch, drawer pulls, doily(spelling?) and picture frame are all made from chocolate. The couple inside the heart was their cake topper at their wedding.

I'll walk this morning. But I won't be dieting. I'll try, but my kitchen smells like chocolate.

LET THE CAKES BEGIN

This is my last day to work on my WIP for I'm not sure how long. Alas, the much dreaded wedding cake season is here.I reached 80,036 word count at 1:23 a.m. Stopped when I jerked awake and realized I'd typed several lines of gibberish. Then when I got in bed all these great lines were going through my brain.

I'll post progress pictures on the cakes and reward myself with checking out your blogs from time to time. Will definitely make it to Dana's to read her Daytona trip highlights.
