Let Them Eat Cake

Last Sunday, Feb 13th was a fun filled day for family and friends. We had a wedding shower for Kimberly, actually more like a 'party'.  Thirty five wonderful people showed up to give their love and best regards to Kim and Edward.
We held the party at Kim's house in Indio so all of her friends from the desert didn't have to drive way up here, instead we drove that a way. No problem, it's an easy drive right?  UNLESS your bringing the cake!  That's right, Katie, Crystal and I made the shower cake here in Lake Elsinore.  That meant we had a 100 mile delivery to make...
Katie got 'Caught Red Handed' making fondant  roses




Crystal giving the thumbs up to our original design


Now years ago I took cake decorating class and always made fun cakes for my kids parties, Katie of course is our culinary student and has had a couple years of baking and decorating classes and Crystal is the families resident artist and design queen of all things crafty, so we had a great time with the design and baking and decorating.
Katie had instructions to be the human shock absorber.

Our ride down to the desert was something else. First we padded Kaitlyn and gave her shock absorber lessons then we were off.  I made sure to drive on the 'slow' side which is not my usual.  We decided to stay on the freeways so to avoid as many stop and goes as possible and were doing great until we got about half way and Katie realized the sun was melting our frosting! Whoa, time to rotate!!  Then we noticed the lean, yes we were now carrying the leaning tower of Piazza.  Well to make a long story short we made it just fine and Kimberly was blessed.
A great big Thank You to everybody who made this such a fun day!!

Kim had a great day, Thank you everybody!!
