I guess I've done some crafting recently.  Our oldest son got married in September last year and since I was a florist I decided to do the bouquets.  Since we were trying to save some money I volunteered to make the wedding cake also.  Shortly after that I asked myself if I was crazy?!  Thank goodness I live near Lynn's Cake and Candy store which supplies cake decorating and candy making supplies.  I could not have done it without their help!  It took me a total of 13 hours!  I am willing to do it again for my other 2 children but after that, forget it! Lol!
I used white cake mix, I can't remember which brand but I think it ended up being 8 - 10 boxes for all 3 tiers.
The frosting was pre made and purchased from Lynn's Cake and Candy.
My husband helped me a lot by placing each cake in the freezer to set the frosting while I was working on a different cake.
I assembled the cake at the Reception and it turnedout remarkably pretty!
I sometimes miss working in a flower shop but then I remember Valentines Day and I get over it! Lol!
See you next time!
