Whew!

So glad this one is done. I booked this wedding over a year ago in Omaha. At the time it was only a 45 minute trip. Today it was a 3 1/2 hour trip one way, on the coldest and ickiest day so far this year. I'd been dreading the trip for some time. But I made it with no mishaps. Done and delivered. Yay. Yay! Yayyy!!!  I was even pretty happy with the outcome. There were a few things, of course, that I would have liked to improve upon. But everything overall was great. I even managed to successfully carry the entire 4-tiered brides cake up to the second floor. You would think that a hotel as nice as the Paxton would have a cart.

This was the grooms cake. So fun! It took about 8 hours.

Brides cake. It had a lot going on as per brides request. As long as she's happy... I'm happy! One thing I did differently this time was to line both of the cake boards with fondant. It took a little more time but gave it a much nicer, more finished look.

After no sleep and the long drive, well, I guess I'm so happy to be done that I don't feel completely worn out!

300 cupcakes

Last week I got to do a center piece cake with 300 cupcakes for a company in Kearney. Both were fun. I started baking at 5am and all were filled and frosted by 2! It was quite a feat. Their company logo was a bulls eye and their celebration was a circus theme.

Wedding & Grooms Cake

These are photos of a recent wedding I did at the Cornhusker Hotel in Lincoln, NE. Besides the nearly three hour drive, the heat and humidity was a killer. The cake was Tuxedo with a whipped ganache filling. Its hard to see in the image, but stenciling was done on the sides of the cake.

From the bride, "Hi Cheryl-Thank you for doing such an amazing job on our wedding and groom's cakes! Everyone couldn't say enough nice things about them! They looked and tasted GREAT!" I am always more than thrilled to hear back from a bride that they were happy with their cakes.

This is the grooms cake.... simple but fun. I love doing cakes like this. Yes, she married a doctor.
