So I’m not going to mention the fact that its been over 5 months since the last time I blogged. I’ve decided that instead of talking
about the fact that I should blog more and how sorry I am for leaving none of
you hanging (let’s face it) and just accept the fact that I am a monthly (at
best) blogger. I think I’m ok with this. And it means that if I blog more than
that then I am exceeding everyone’s expectations. Win win.
This past October my lovely sister Jenny got married to her
best friend Jon. They have a beautiful love and I thought it would make the
most sense to start my 2013 blog posts off with this beauty.
I’d say it’s mainly because the cake I made for this wedding
far exceeds any other cake I’ve done so I really just want to show it off.
My sister told me to do whatever I wanted – the cake I’ve
always wanted to make. So I decided to challenge myself and hoped to really wow
people. My entire extended family was coming in from Manitoba and the reception
was at the amazingly beautiful Alloy – so the pressure was on.
Bring it.
My inspiration:
Maggie Austin makes absolutely beautiful cakes, I saw this
picture and fell a little bit in love. I decided to do my own take on this
So after 2 seasons of One Tree Hill here’s what I whipped up
(all photographs courtesy of Mathieu Young and Jason Haughey)
This is my favorite cake to date. I urge someone else to
dare me to make whatever I want so I can have as much fun and challenge myself
as much as I did with this lovely.
Since we're on the subject might as well show a couple more pictures of the magnificent couple and the wedding

So there you have it. I feel immense anxiety when I think of the fact that my wedding (whenever that will be) will have to follow this one
