I was a little shocked and surprised to find one of my cakes on this web site (which I have been browsing for hours and laughing my *ss of at). <br /><br />This was one of my first wedding cakes. I believe the bride was from Zimbabwe. But I can't remember. I'm not sure if that had anything to do with her choice in cakes or not. <br /><br />I'm not sure whether to feel honored or miffed here. You can bet that each handmade mushroom and butterfly and hand painted flower took some serious time. Much more time than I charged for (seeing as how I was a novice). <br /><br />However, since I have forsaken the wedding cake business for the higher calling of wife and mother, I'll just let it slide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-91750815369123395922009-09-06T13:31:38.327-04:002009-09-06T13:31:38.327-04:00"This is a wedding cake, people.
