the one year old cake...

when i started wedding planning, i knew that i wanted a cake. it was the only time in my life that i would get a big fancy gaudy, over the top cake. funny thing is, i don't actually enjoy cake all that much. i just wanted it for the decoration (an expensive decoration, silly me). i looked high and low over salt lake for a baker and finally found a cute lady that baked out of her house. we had a testing, it was easily the best cake we had ever tasted. she got my vision. she knew exactly what we wanted and made it happen.

terrible pictures with our puzzle in the background:)

fast forward to the wedding day and the cake was perfect. it turned out even better than we talked about. we cut the cake, barely tasted it, and made our getaway. my dear mother packed us a plate of that cake though and i took a bite later that night and couldn't wait to finish it in the morning. well david accidentally left the bag open and the cake dried out so i never got to fully embrace our delicious wedding cake. per our instructions, she froze the top tier of the cake. we opened her freezer many times and saw our cute cake top sitting there waiting for the year mark to come when we could defrost that beauty and finally taste it.

the other half is still frozen in my parent's freezer

here we are, a whole year later and we finally got to taste the cake. i almost forgot it until we were in a rush to get back to salt lake from a wedding in brigham city and remembered that it was in my parents freezer.

we knew the cake would not taste as it did on the wedding day, it was a year old after all, but that cake was still delicious. if you ever need a baker, cake dame is magic.
