Mission: Complete!

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Saturday finally came and I was ready! Things went pretty well, so thankfully no more of my time consisted of me redoing anything (though a couple hours were spent clearing room in my fridge to store the cakes as I was making them).  Perhaps the good juju from the Olympics being on TV in the background helped as I imagined myself taking the gold in the cake making games...

Before...

Of course, even after the cakes were finished and ready to go, the most difficult part lied in actually transporting them to the wedding site.  It was the first time in my life, I think, that I didn't get mad at the traffic, because I actually wanted to drive 8 miles an hour.

Anyway, on to the wedding: The venue was at the Stimson-Green mansion in First Hill. Lucky for me it was so beautiful that I could have piled of bunch of Hostess cupcakes on the table and it probably still would have looked good.  Fortunately, once my cakes were set up they looked pretty darn nice if I do say so myself, and the setting made it look even better.  I was pleased, but still quite nervous for the wedding couple to see my creation....

My butterflies faded when I got huge smiles, raving reviews, and many many compliments for everyone in attendance. And no one threw up!  I am happy with the end result, and for me that's saying a lot.
