this past week, i made a wedding cake. it’s been a long time, but it all came back to me……..the mess, the fear that it won’t turn out the way it’s supposed to, almost dropping it on the way to the car – all the things that make me say “never again”. then i see the finished product, and the joy it brings to the bride and groom, and hear everyone talking about how amazing it tastes – all the things that make me say “it’s totally worth it”.
kinda like life…..

FAB-U-LOUS. That cake looks beautiful & I can tell it was delicious. Lucky bride & groom. Somewhere in the recesses of my memory, I think I recall that the shaved white chocolate was your specialty. It makes the whole cake look very floral. MmmmMMmmm.

Yummy! And that photo of you and your sister is priceless – reminds me of a statue your mom might do (your hands poised – up in the air – at the same height – same expressions on your faces…sisters!) So, let’s talk cakes…
