Wanna See What My Mil Did To My Cake???

Next time you'll need to put a tag on it (as if it's not bought yet) -- on one side, put the "maker's name" and the other side "DRY CLEAN ONLY!"
I'm lucky -- although my MIL used to make wedding cakes herself she has nothing but compliments for even my ugly cakes and won't even cut them when I bring them to family get togethers ... she can't bear to do it.
When I saw the picture I went straight to photoshop!
Hope this makes you smile 
...and I totally understand MIL issues 
Not sure why the picture looks a bit blurry, looks great when I open it in IE. PM me if you'd like the original picture that isn't blurry.
Aside from being a little shiny, I think your cake turned out great! I love the color w/ the little white flowers! 
Aren't MIL's great! At my wedding mine told the cake server to go ahead and cut the top tier because we didn't want to save it anyway! 
Luckily, she(the cake server) was wise enough to come up and ask me herself after my MIL told her that! 
I am laughing so hard reading all of these posts! I would have died if someone had done that to my cake! I don't even let other people carry them to the car- I prefer to make all the trips myself!
I originally used powdered sugar to coat my work area, but I am a convert to shortening. Just a little bit evenly coating the area works wonders. The powdered sugar always dried my MMF out way too much- but I live in CO where it is very dry, so I'm sure that was a contributing factor!
I still love your cake, BTW. And I probably wouldn't have noticed the shine unless I was looking for it. I would have just blamed it on the flash- cameras do weird things to pictures! haha.
LMAOfffff!!!!
I just had to go back and look at the original pic to see your MIL. Tooooooo funny!!
The cake looks great. I hope you didn't yell at your MIL, did you?
No I didn't yell at her. It was a very stressful day, I had to have her come over to watch my kids so I could do the cake and that's ALWAYS stressful the way it is! I was so tired by the time we had to get ready for the party I just said "whatever". Then I had a couple of drinks at the party and felt better!

The picture is so bad that you can't tell that the flowers are actually pink! And yes, MIL's are wonderful!
I was going to suggest you use Photoshop and the klone feature (I think that's what it's called anyway.. been a LONG tiem since I used Photoshop) to just buff out that shine, but kanaslaura did such a nice job already!! It really is a great cake and I would have BI**H slapped anyone who decided to try to come near it with a wet towel.. good intentions or not.. 
. I am sure her heart sank when she saw that it wasn't drying the way she thought it would.
