Well I delivered my 1st wedding cake over the weekend. It was really stressfull as the bride was not really specific in what she wanted. Im always nervous that what looks good to me, is not another ones cup-of-tea.
The venue where they had the wedding was beautifull, the staff not very friendly thou. Its a working farm that they are busy converting to have really rural weddings, so the reception hall was covered in flies. The manager/owner was not impressed that someone else was doing the cake so he was so unhelpfull. After setting up the cake & getting the kids to shoo away the flies so I could take a few photos, I asked for something to cover the cake with. He said he was going to spray some insecticide over the cake soon, I musnt worry 
. Well he saw the look on my face and went scurrying off to get a netting. They were also supposed to have some fary light under the fabric, but the MOB had to go and ask hime where it was. He just told me he's not putting lights up there. 
Well everything turned out beautifull, the wedding was stunning and I got a whole lot of compliments on my cake. Even a few enquieries

Your wedding cake is beautiful...
Now that you've done your first one, I'm sure many more will be added to your gallery of beautiful cakes.
BTW, if the crack about the bug spray was supposed to be funny - the manager/owner sorely missed the mark; he was just being a jerk!
Congratulations! Your cake is beautiful. Love the red and white.
Did you tell your cake client what the manager said about spraying insecticide?

The cake is INCREDIBLE!!! GREAT JOB!! While I was reading your post I could just imagine the scene and it made me "homesick" to visit South Africa! S.A.A. is offering a "Buddy Rate" for 1300.00 US now! THAT'S CHEAP! Now, what's your address? LOLL

thanks for the lovely compliments!
and yes the man was serious about the bug spray, I did mention it to the groom, DH's best buddy, and he said the caterer was upset because he wasnt doing the cake. He gave them a quote, but was not prepared to do a stacked cake, and stacked was what the bride wanted! So Im sure it was a case of seriously sour grapes
Bethola, ur more than welcome to come and visit, we can chat cakes all day
It looks so great! You did an awesome job for your first time!
What a beautiful cake, and envy can do bad things to a person, so I wouldn't worry about it! And man, that guy is gonna have his place shut down from insecticide on food, lol. Jen
Looks wonderful to me! Wow and if someone ever told me they were going to spray my painstakingly created art with insecticide, I would go after them with a cake server!
