We made a ginormous mess! I started making cakes on Monday, I made a total of 13 cakes. Then we started putting it together on Thursday night and were up until 2:00 a.m. Dev, Deta and I frosted, cut 225 fondant circles and assembled the cake.

The finished product...I think it turned out beautiful!
Well we left the cake went to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner, came home were fairly exhausted (we stayed out til 1:00a.m. Friday night, kareokeing), got ready for bed when I realized Devin was gone, well it turns out this beautiful cake self destructed and fell on the floor at about 6:00 that night. So sad!!!!! Here is the results of the crash...
So after a lot of tears and a lot of options (Trace Brooks thought he might be able to run off with the Wal Mart display) I decided to rally and help Dev, Deta (she had been making cakes all evening, bless her heart) and Dick. My amazing family jumped in the car too... so we had a lot of help, which made it a lot more fun!

Tina and Trace (he was a circle and diamond cutting extraordinaire)

Lots and Lots of Circles
Putting on Fondant
Putting the final touches on the final cake
Finished cake #2 (not quite as cool, but it was 3:00a.m and Tonya had a cake to cut at her wedding!)
The debut at the reception
It was quite and experience and will make for a good story, however, I will never do it again! But it was worth it for this beautiful couple!
Tonya and Drew, thank you for smashing the cake in each other's faces, it is just what this cake needed!!!

wow, good to know, i would be so sad...they both looked beautiful!
WOW! I am so impressed! You guys are amazing. Way to persevere! I made 300 cloth napkins for my wedding - seriously stupid and something I will never do again! So good to see you last month! Hope you guys are doing well!
I can't believe I am just now reading this!!! What she didn't tell you is that if they would have told me Saturday night I would have told them to go to bed and not worry about it, but being the amazing family that they are they wouldn't even think of it!! I never saw the first cake in person, but the pic was AMAZING, and I couldn't be prouder of them. The second cake, in my opinon, was just as amazing. It fit in perfectly and was delicious. I keep forgetting to tell you Tiff, that more than a few friends have commented on how delicious it was. It all worked out and I am so blessed to have a family pull through like that! I am a blessed girl!!
You guys are so good to even try to make a wedding cake! Both of them looked amazing!!! I wish I knew how to do stuff like that! How exciting for Tonya to get married! I peek at her blog every now and then, too. She's so cute and seems real happy! Cute family, Tiff! Hope all is well!
