First I designed and made the invitations and then I decorated the cake to match the invites.
So here is what the inside of this cake looked like
Ok, I must confess......not ALL my cakes look like this on the inside. Usually I just do two layers with pudding between the layers. But doing the checkerboard style on this one just went so well with the invite and all the decorations that I did. It is way more time consuming to do it this way....but it definitely gives off a WOW factor!
WOW! thats so cool. I've never seen anything like it. How did you do that?
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS AMAZING. Do you have 500 prayers yet?
ReplyDeleteWe are getting close.....431 as of 8:04 this morning! I'm counting how many comments/prayers have been left. But there are WAY MORE than 500 people who've said they are praying. (families, couples, groups)
ReplyDeleteJulie, I can't give away ALL my secrets! 8)
ReplyDeleteJust kidding. It's actually not that hard, just time consuming. Give me a call and I'll explain it if you really want to know (don't feel like typing that much right now) 8-)
You better be careful posting about cakes...someone I know is gonna complain about not getting a cake for her birthday :-)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, well I never, its fantatic.
ReplyDeleteThe checkerboard is going to throw kim over the edge :-)
ReplyDeleteCan you move down here so you can teach some craft classes for us. I am need of a lot of help.
Shan,
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you make me look so bad. As you know Matt has alot of time on his hands so he checks your blog reguarly, your new nickname is Super Woman. I've been wanting to share my run with you without everybody in the world seeing so e-mail me your e-address. You are doing awesome by the way and have inspired me on my eating with BLT's. Love, Jen jkoeln@cox.net
I love your new blog page!
ReplyDeleteyou did that cake? *blink blink blink....**
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing. I wouldn't even know the first thing about getting all those colors, layers, etc.... wow.
I love reading your blog and seeing all of your cute ideas. Your cakes are super cute and really fun. I wish I knew how to make cakes like that. Maybe I should take a class... anyway...
ReplyDeleteYour high school reunion is funny to, that reminds me of something I would probably do!
Wowsie, that is one beautiful cake!
ReplyDeleteMelissa
WOW factor - no kidding. I've seen that done before, but it wasn't nearly as intricate as yours. First I thought you must've just made three or so cakes with different patterns, then cut them in half and rearranged them, but I couldn't see any patterns that matched. How many cakes did you bake to do this?
