  • As promised, cake photos

    Here be photos of the wedding and groom's cakes I did for my hubby's cousin. Wedding was Saturday.



    Vanilla butter cake with fresh strawberry filling and iced with whipped cream. The big red G is for Georgia State.



    Alternating layers of devil's food and white chocolate cake (2 layers of each in each tier) with dark chocolate ganache filling and two layers of raspberry-Chambord filling. White chocolate Italian meringue buttercream. Covered in fondant. Decorations are hand-piped and painted using royal icing, leaves and flowers cut from fondant, and silver dragees.

      Both look and sound YUMMY! Though i do have to admit, when i saw the first cake, the G looked like a 6 to me. But that's just me.
      I can only please one person a day, today isn't your day, and tomorrow doesn't look good either.

      When someone asks you a stupid question, give them a stupid answer.

        I see what you're seeing, now that you mention it. I think tha it's just the angle of the photo, though.

          They sound delicious too.

                    Darn it, now I want some combo of chocolate and raspberries. And, if I EVER get married, will you do my cake? That one is absolutely gorgeous. And I never even cared much about having a cake at all!

                      Sure, but you'll have to come to the South Atlanta area to get hitched.

                          The "bar" on the "G" is not suppose to go all the way across.

                          Be careful. Saying that a "Dawg" went to Georgia State will get you bit. I got an ear full one time for asking "Didn't you go to Tech?"

                            Oops! I'm not really that familiar with the local sports logos as I'm from NC and I don't give a flip for sports. Also, the print out they gave me to use had a dog over the middle of the G so I couldn't tell where it ended. My hubby's not into sports, either, so he didn't notice. No one at the wedding said anything either, so that's good.

                            I'll remember that for the future, though. Thx!

                            Ok. GA Tech is the hornet, right?

                            I get GA State (is there a school named as such?) and U of GA mixed up cause in my head the names are the same (and, yes, I know the U of NC is not the same as NC State, BUT there are many U of NCs, each designated by the city it's in, UNC-CH (Chapel Hill), UNC-G (Greensboro), UNC-C (Charlotte), UNC-A(Asheville), and so on...so that's how that stays straight).

                            At least I didn't do what I did on another cousin's cake one time (I had plenty of time to fix it and I did and he thought it was a practical joke anyway, so it all turned out okay). I got the Auburn and Alabama teams mixed up. The cake was supposed to have the Alabama logo on it and I put the Auburn one on it, because somehow I was thinking they were the same school (I know now they're not, although Auburn is IN Alabama). Ugh. I hate football.

                              Yellow Jackets. Calling them a Hornet will get you stung.

                              Yes, there is a GA State - GSU, not to be confused with Georgia Southern University.

                              Wow! Do you have nine lives?

                              I am not a college football fan myself. However, I use to work in an office that was owned by a GT alumni, had at least 5 UGA fanatics, along with Auburn, Alabama & Clemson. Mondays during college football season were brutal.
