Ace of Cakes

Okay, so maybe I'm not as good as the guy on 'Ace of Cakes', but I am proud of my first ever wedding cake. It was a fun adventure, but very stressful and I'm not sure if I'll ever do it again......By the way- Congratulations Dustin and Brittany! Love you guys!

P.S. On Sunday, after a very stressful week, all I wanted to do is sleep. Josh was working, so after church I sent the kids upstairs to play in the toy room while I tried to catch a quick nap. When I woke up, I went to the fridge to get a drink and noticed this hanging there.........




Okay, so is that not the cutest thing you have ever seen? Jaxon drew a picture of himself in his church clothes handing me a flower. He even wrote 'MOM' on it all by himself. I love my sweet little boy.

I am so impressed! I get stressed out about my kids birthday cakes, so I would never have the guts to do a wedding cake. What is is made of? What kind of cake? Did you use icing to hold it together? I love cakes, so if you have a minute, add a comment and share the details.

I did the top and bottom tiers with chocolate cake filled with chocolate mousse. The middle tier is white cake with raspberry cream filling. I frosted all three tiers and the outside is made of pirouette wafer cookies. The cookies stuck in the frosting, but the ribbon also helped keep them in place. I used wooden dowels inside the cakes to add support when stacking them.
