Wedding #1: Check!

1 down and 1 to go. I'm too tired to blog much, but I thought maybe you'd want to see a couple of photos...

Cake before...

Cake after the bride's custom touches for the top

Speaking of cake, if anyone wants a BIG piece of banana cake with Bavarian Cream filling and cream cheese frosting, come on over! We have the whole wedding cake and a few half-sheet cakes left.

The, now, 11 of us, plus my parents

Proud parents of the bride and
happy to be parents-in-law to a wonderful new son

It was a wonderful day, and just happy the couple was so happy. Princess Bossy wishes cake could keep for 3 weeks, as she wouldn't even need to get one!

The weather was just about perfect. Definitely not hot, and, very importantly, not 'showery,' as forecasted.

Congratulations on a beautiful wedding. I love the way your whole family was involved in its planning and execution. I hope you'lll post more pictures for us to see. Last weekend all of your GardenWeb friends were thinking of you and your big event. I know the upcoming wedding will be just as beautiful and special.

Way back when my husband and I were married (35 years ago) couples often froze the top layer of their wedding cake and ate it on their first anniversary. We all know now that you aren't supposed to consume foods that have been frozen for that long, but hey, it didn't kill us. In fact, as I recall, it was still pretty tasty!

Thank you. I'll put up a few more pics, although, the 'real' pictures, that I'm sure are much better will come much later. It's hard to wait!

We also saved the top of our cake, 26 yrs ago, and ate it on our first anniversary. It was also very good. I didn't know there was anything bad about doing that, as we'd planned to do that with this cake. Do you think it's a dangerous idea to freeze it today with the Bavarian cream filling put in yesterday?

I don't know why Laxsupermom's comment came through the Blogger comment system instead of this one, but here it is:

"Your Princess is radiant! Everyone looks terrific and the cake was so modern & pretty! Thanks for sharing."

My sister-in-law called today to comment on how genuinely and obviously happy the couple was. She said they were constantly BEAMING, and there was no question that they were about being married to each other, and less about the wedding trappings. These 2 had absolutely no 2nd thoughts about the step they were taking. I am happy they are so happy. Not only is the wedding checked off, but also the answer to prayer that God would send her just the right prince. :-)

Congratulations! And felicitations to the happy couple.

I think if the cake hasn't gotten hot the cream should be fine. Sugar is a pretty good preservative. Modern practices mean there are far fewer bad organisms in the food to breed. Still dangerous if they do, but low probability. The only reason for not freezing cream cake for a year is if it's in a self defrost that warms up. That could potentially let the bacteria develop--still unlikely. Otherwise the only issue is if the texture goes off.

All your princesses look so nice in their dresses with the lace trim. Their mother looks composed, elegant and happy. And the bride and groom are just radiant! What a lovely occasion!

Thanks for answering my cake question. I can breathe a little easier now.

And it was indeed a lovely occasion... thanks.

Oh. I think what happens when a comment comes in on the Blogger software rather than the app is that something interrupts the loading of the app on the commenter's side and it defaults back to the base software.

The whole family looks so beautiful and happy. What a great MOB you make! Congratulations on pulling it all together. Hope you can catch your breath before #2.

The struggles to get to this point were worth it, huh? I told you it wouldn't rain. ;)

The wedding party is so happy! You are stunning, Rhome.

Freezing the top layer of the wedding cake is a newlywed ritual most of us. Ours was good a year later.
