#18 Bake and Decorate an Eccentric Cake

The list has been finished and now it’s time to post every time I complete a goal.

Speaking of which I have started checking stuff off and the first goal completed is a cake! Specifically, I intended for this goal to be a cake that I just did for fun and call it good. But the cake that actually fulfilled this goal ended up being a wedding cake. Who knew I’d ever end up making a wedding cake?! Cause holy frick I never thought I would.

My brother got married Friday August 31, 2018 and I was tasked with making the cake. Which I have no clue why they thought they should give that responsibility to me, but they did and wonderfully it fits in with my goals. So win! But seeing as this was a time sensitive cake I called in one of my best friends to come in and save the day and help me decorate this cake. She’s helpful and wonderful and she totally had my back when I effed (and by effed I mean palmed the whole top-tier when it got stuck and just committed) up this whole cake. Luckily it turned out great and looked gorgeous and tasted amazing (we are currently dealing with being hit up by multiple guest to make cakes for them and that is way too much responsibility). My brother and my sister-in-law had total faith and trusted us and we pulled through.

Also, on the off-chance that we didn’t have enough cake or that one failed we had prepped two sheet cakes of German chocolate cake. So, we made a lot of cake and had more than plenty for all of the guests at the wedding.

First goal checked off and I’m super happy I had my friend there and I’m super ecstatic to be starting all these challenges.
