Awsome job!!
I was invited to do my sister's wedding cake but I don't think I am ready yet..
There's going to be around 150 guests and I want her cake to be perfect, which is not going to happen if I make it..
but, congratulations, your cake looks flawless

Hello,
I know some people wanted to know what the butterflies where made with, the cutter is available at globalsugarart.com under patchwork cutters/ animals and wildlife.
Thanks,
Lynne

I definitely think you should do more wedding cakes.

I understand the whole intimidation thing, I m intimidated every time I go to work, oddly, it exhilarates me and I dig right in. I get an odd charge by overcoming fears. Freaky, I know.

I really enjoy creating novelty cakes because there is no pressure for perfection. I just dont think I am ready for the perfection required for wedding cakes.
As this was for my sister she understands that I am not a profesional and was ready for imperfections, luckily (pure luck) there werent many.
Thank you all for your comments.
Lynne
