Thu Apr 20 2006 20:06 Let them eat cake:
I have been taking a cake decorating class from Michael's every week for the past 3 weeks. I have one more class left and then I graduate course 1. I can't believe I did this, but I offered to make David and Ashley's wedding cake in 6 weeks. I hope they are satisfied with what little knowledge I have for making wedding cakes. By that time I will be almost done with course 2 in the Wilton cake decorating courses. I don't think it is as hard as it looks, but it is definitely time consuming. And I won't be able to go to Schlitterbahn with everyone the day before the wedding.
I remember going shopping for wedding cakes when I was engaged and I was very discouraged when the cost of a wedding cake was a large chunk out of my small budget. Not only was it several hundred dollars for the cake, but the estimates didn't even come close to feeding the amount of people we were inviting. Luckily, there was someone in my ward that made a beautiful cake that was inexpensive.
This is what I am hoping for David and Ashley...for them to get a beautiful cake that is inexpensive. Am I crazy??? YES!
