September brought us our very first 4 tiered cake, a wedding cake to be exact! For the two weeks prior I made tons of royal icing daisies, teal and lavender. The week of the wedding I baked for hours and hours and hours. Not only did we have 8 cakes for the 4 tiers of the layered wedding cake, we had a two layer grooms cake, and another order of 3 dozen chocolate cupcakes. So, 21 lbs of confectioners sugar, 3 dozen eggs, a whole bottle of oil, and 5 pounds of crisco later we created our very first wedding cake.

| Bottom half, complete. |

| I made the topper out of fresh daisies. |
 |
| Each daisy had luster dust on it to make it shimmer, its kind of hard to see in this picture, but its there! |
Groom's cake. Yellow cake with chocolate buttercream icing.

We learned tons about cake making the week of our first wedding cake. Lessons learned, advice taken, and alot of cake to be enjoyed.
