After 3 Months the Burden is Lifted

This cake (and the grooms cake) have been invading my every thought since the cake was ordered something like 3 months ago. I am SOOO thankful to have them done, delivered and eaten. This was my first fancy wedding. I had done a wedding before, but it wasn't in upscale Dallas. Matt helped me cut the fondant since I don't have the patience and focus to do it perfectly. It went on a lot easier than expected and made the cake look very neat and sturdy. Mom helped me deliver it, which was an adventure in itself. We had to go all the way to Dallas, so I was worried about all the cake in the back...the groom's cake jiggled all the way there..it made me crazy! Then when we got there we couldn'r find the club we were delivering to, come to find out it was inside of another building and unmarked. Genius. Once we finally found it (on the 39th floor) we had to walk around this hioty toity place in jeans and sandals looking for a cart to bring the cakes up on. Then the groom's cake jiggled all the way up the elevator...geesh. Once we got the cakes up the entire wait staff was having a meeting right next to the table watching us set up, oh my. Then the real fun began. The groom's cake was drooping in the back (probably from all the jiggling!!!) so we built a chocolate strawberry support system, then the flowers kept falling out of the middle of the brides cake...drama drama drama. If you know my mom and I at all you know that we laugh...a lot. We would run into to each other or something else that lacked grace and laugh, but I don't think you were allowed to laugh in such a high class place... Once we finally got everything set up I thought they turned out pretty well. It was absolutely God through me, no way I could do something that beautiful by myself. People were taking pictures of them, so I am guessing that was a good sign. Someone came up to us and said it looked like you could wear the bride's cake. I'm not totally sure what that means, but I'm going to take it as a compliment. I wasn't as impressed with the groom's cake, but it wasn't a complete disaster.
