Well I have never Blogged before and with some prodding from others I decided to try it. I will see how this goes.
Right now I am supposed to be making my friends wedding cake and instead I am setting this up. I will have to get going on the cake though. I have no idea how I got started making cakes for others. I am a Nurse and that has nothing to do with cakes. I do make cakes for birthdays and decorate them but wedding cakes are different. I guess it started when I made my own cake for my wedding. I was too cheap to buy one cause they are expensive. I figured if I could decorate a birthday cake I could do a wedding cake. Well I was surprised
Tony still wanted to marry me after that experience. I just do fake wedding cakes cause if I mess it up I just wash it off and start all over again. I had never used fondant before and that was the problem. The stuff didn't roll out the way it was supposed to, then it didn't fold nice to the cake. Plus it was round and it didn't smooth out nicely on the edges. Needless to say there was a lot of yelling and crying over my cake, which in the end worked out just fine. Now I had said I would never work with fondant again and here I am about to do it again.
I think the difference this time though is the cake is square so the edges should fold in nicely and I don't have to "decorate" the cake really. Just some ribbon around it and then on the day of the wedding I can buy some roses and add them to it. Very simple. I wish that I had done that for my cake, I just didn't investigate it much. I had an idea in my head and went for it. What i got was not what was in my head though.
I have 2 wedding in the next month to go to and then I get vacation. That is what I am looking forward to. I need some time to relax. I haven't been able to do that lately and I need it. When I am on holidays it will be the one year angelversary of my baby so I am hoping that I can not think about that much and just move on with my life. After I passed my due date with no baby I seemed to get better. I have moved on and enjoyed being around babies and pregnant women again. Until then I didn't want anything to do with either and now I am okay. I am back to loving babies and kids and am fine with seeing all these pregnant women all around me. I know at my brothers wedding there will be at least 5 babies and they are all younger than what mine should be and I will be okay with it. I know it will happen when it is right for us. I just have to figure out how to not think about it. Yeah right.
Well I think I have written enough for the first post and I will go and tackle that cake now. Once I get started then the sooner I finish it and my goal is to finish the fondant today so that I can relax till next week when I can do the ribbon and roses.
