Ok, here she blows!

THe bride came in while I was cleaning up and raved about it, and wants to talk about another cake for her daughter. I have to say, with all the trouble, I'm pleased with how it looks. At least I learned a few things.

I should be three sheets to the wind in about 45 minutes.

Thanks to all of you who responded with advice, I really appreciate it!

The cake looks great! I tried to leave a comment but my computer keeps having problems "running scripts" on some pages so I wanted to tell you here! It looks like fondant! I'm going to try that someday, because it really looks good!

Of course she loved it! It came out GREAT!!
Happy three sheets! You've earned it!

That you were able to get cream cheese frosting to look like that is a minor miracle as far as I'm concerned...I made my Mom a coconut pound cake with lime curd filling and cream cheese frosting for Mother's Day (sheer lunacy in 95 degree weather with 90% humidity and no a/c, but I did it anyway )...and cussed them (the filling and frosting, that is) for daring to oppose me. Even back home in the States, I always felt that was simply not a frosting to use for customers. Brava to you!!
