Cake Batter Up!!!!!

So, if you read my earlier post on 20 things you don't know about me, then you now know I like to make cakes. My Co-worker and I took all 4 cake decorating classes at Micheal's about 6 years ago or so. My husband, Bart, didn't attend any of the classes, but somehow learned right along with me when I would come and practice. So now, Bart, my Co-worker, and I make cakes for family, friends, and Co-workers. Two weeks ago we were asked to do a baseball themed wedding cake for another co-worker. She had been on pinterest and saw a wedding cake that was white with red baseball stitching on it!!! Her Fiancee is the Athletic Director at a local high school, so this cake was perfect for them.

This is the picture she sent from Pinterest!

Cute right? So we had to make this the night that storm came through Raleigh and left thousands without power! My Co-worker didn't have any electricity! Thank God the Town of Fuquay did, so she loaded up her stand mixer, and off to Casa De Tyler she came! We stayed up until almost 1:00 in the morning finishing that cake. It was tiring, but we truly had a blast! The cake turned out perfect ( at least we thought so), and looked for the most part just like the picture on Pinterest! We dropped it off the next day, and the reception site was gorgeous! Making cakes for a BIG event like this can be so stressful, and evverytime I do it I say I'm not doing anymore! Then, in the end, I feel great to have helped someone out and make them happy! At least until they eat the cake and it's all gone! So I'll probably stay with it a little while longer!

Hope everybody has a great week and SWEET dreams, literally!!!
