Wedding Cake for Melissa and Jean-Luc


Work in Progress



This cake took about 11 hours to make. It was a vanilla cake with buttercream frosting. Melissa and Jean-Luc got married the end of Summer 2008. Their reception was on the outskirts of downtown St. Louis, which is about an 45 minutes away from my house. Transporting a wedding cake is stressful! My best friend Hannah went with me to help transport the cakes, and also to keep me calm. She's awesome like that.

Anniversary Cake for my Grandparents

For my Grandparents 50th Anniversary, their children planned a big party for them, and I was asked to make the cake. My aunt helped me find a picture of their original wedding cake, and I made a replica of it. I changed a few things, but for the most part it looks like the original. This is my favorite cake that I've made so far, so I figured I'd post it first.
