Making Exceptions

Some of you may know that I used to decorate wedding cakes. Yes, I know... the key words are used to. A skill I'm proud to own, but a task that I never fully enjoyed. So much stress in weddings! I managed just fine pre-kids, but having little ones in the house while I'm trying to focus on a cake is just too much. So I have set my tools aside.

But... every so often, someone close enough to me or my family has need of a cake and I just have to say Yes! So this is what I made on Saturday (and totally had fun doing so, I might add)...

And then I went on to take well over 500 photos of the fabulously joyful celebration. If I ever throw another big party, I want all of her people to help me decorate. It was perfection, I tell you.
