Dev and I love making our kids cakes on their birthdays, we try to get really creative and have fun with it... so I thought "Hey lets try and make Tonya's wedding cake!" We learned a great lesson, leave the wedding cakes to the professionals! Here is what happened...
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!

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!!!
