I almost didn't post this cake, but really wanted to share the story behind it. I had written down the wrong date for this cake, and was out shopping one Saturday when I got a call asking where this wedding cake was. I thought it was due the next week. I had already baked and frozen most of the cakes, and made many (but not all) of my gumpaste flowers... but I only had 1 1/2 hours until the wedding! My husband was out of town, and I was alone with my 2 and 4 year old. Needless to say, I was a wreck, and I called all my neighbors in tears. They immediately swarmed my house, bringing sugar and other ingredients, watching my kids, turning on their own ovens, and running to the store for any extra supplies I needed. Husbands with oven mitts were running cakes down the street from their own ovens to my house. In an hour and a half, we managed to get this cake together along with 3 sheet cakes. One neighbor drove to help me deliver the cake, and when we returned, the others had entirely cleaned my kitchen, done all the dishes, and mopped the floor. The cake wasn't perfect, and I did give the bride a partial refund, but she was happy with it. While it was an extrememly stressful day, I realized just how blessed I was with some of the best neighbors anyone could ask for!
