Ok, now I know there is a sister out there waiting for me to post pictures of winning cake swag.....but you'll have to wait a bit longer cause I just don't feel like taking pictures right now! Instead I'm concentrating on studying for the RN exam which will occur in about a week and a half. Yes....must study. I can't wait until it is over. And all fingers crossed that I will pass so I don't have to worry about it again. The worst of the worst would be if I didn't pass and had to fiddle and fart around with nursing textbooks until september. I think I'd die. I want to be free from school!!!!! (here I say that and currently my work is going to send me and the other grad nurse to perioperative school for 2 months starting the 1st of June. Lovely. Not that I'm not appreciative, cause I am...they pay for it afterall and I'll get paid to go. But the thought of homework during the summer does not turn my crank whatsoever.)
So today I will post a picture of my big achievement over last weekend. The first 4-tiered wedding cake I've ever made!! (My own wedding cake was only 3 layers). And all covered in fondant! Whoot!
The sword sitting on the table has cut 28 wedding cakes, all in the same family. Pretty cool. I think the cake was a hit. It was all chocolate with chocolate ganache filling and covered in buttercream, then fondant. The flowers were silk. Took me a whopping 1.5 full days to create it. For me, impressive. What was even better was that I had made way too much ganache filling, so made it into little chocolate balls covered in cocoa for the gift opening the next day. Those who didn't choke when inhaling cocoa dust really loved them (actually those who choked must have liked them too cause they kept coming back for more....but there was always some type of poking fun comment regarding inhaled cocoa dust).
