So, today I delivered the wedding cake I made this week. It was only the 2nd one I have done and I was pretty happy with it. Like I am sure the rest of you, I think of my cakes as my children. I put alot of time and energy into them and I am very protective of them. I thought I would share this experience and give you all a laugh.
I had to deliver this cake to the brides fathers home where they were holding the wedding. I loaded the cake up, loaded up my 2 girls and headed off. I ended up in the woods of central Missouri and when I found the address I had to drive to the top of this hill to the "house". I got out of the van and ordered my girls to STAY PUT. The wedding party was taking photos in front of the house between puffs on thier cigarettes, the groom was missing more than one fron tooth, the bride who is a rather large woman (so am I so dont get mad) was wearing a strapless toga type dress that thoughtfully showed off all of her tattoos and had her slip all bunched up around her waist. I took the cake out of the van and started into the dwelling where I found chipped up concrete floors and a 3" step in the middle of the room that they did not warn me about. Only to leave this cake that I really worked hard on in a filthy kitchen filled with smoke and pets. I have never seen so many smokers in one room in my life. I was only in the house for 2 minutes and my girls wanted to know what smelled so bad when I got back in the car. I left knowing without a doubt that the cake I made was the nicest thing for miles around. WOW what an experience.

It's gotta make you feel kinda good that your cake brought some beauty to the place.

Oh, and love your signature...it's so true

It takes all kinds to make the world go around! I bet they really enjoyed that fancy cake

Sounds interesting! lol That made me think of a picture I saw a long time ago, it was a back woods louisianna wedding where everyone wore camo and the wedding cake was a POS sheet cake decorated in.... yep you guessed it, CAMO!! LOL

I dont know why I thought of that but it was pretty hilarious anyway

Bakermommy, I have another one for you. "Motherhood is a gift that you cannt return".

BeeBoos your too much...I'm still looking for the receipt that came with all four of mines...can't seem to find the darn things.

Oh my, I would have wanted to take my cake back home after I saw the condition of the house. I would not have wanted my beautiful cake in a filthy kitchen. Especially knowing how hard I worked on it.

Oh it was not easy to walk away. It all brough to mind the movie Deliverence . I could just hear the gtroom saying "You sure do have a pretty mouth" .
