The cake was a 2-layer, 14" inch diameter marble cake (black and white), filled and frosted with my standard buttercream, and decorated fairly subtly with the palest shades of pink, blue, and green. (It was BIG and acutally the size of the bottom tier of a wedding cake!) Along with the simple decorating, I like to write "white on white" on such cakes, to show respect for the occasion.
It was pretty late last night when I made the quadruple batch of buttercream frosting and started to put this cake together. The cake has a bit of a rustic finish -- I was going for a somewhat "lovingly made for you" appearance, and I'm glad I went with that, because Cassie so loved it when she saw it.
I left as they were getting ready to head to church, and I trust that all went very well, and that they came home to enjoy a luscious buffet and a slice of cake!
God Bless little Penelope and Carter. You are indeed little angels.

ReplyDeleteJeannie - What a beautiful cake. I loved how you created it with the "lovingly made for you" rustic finish. When something is lovingly made - it is appreciated that much more. Your cake was a special way for you to put a bit of your love to Cassie, Penelope and Carter on their day.

ReplyDeleteHi Jeanne,
ReplyDeleteThis blog entry in particular brought back many like memories for me. For over 10 years, in the 1990's, it was my ministry to bake a small cake, personally decorated, for each baby baptized at The Church of St Peter in Saratoga. Each cake was accompanied by a special note welcoming the baby. with affection and great joy, into our church family. It was amazing to see many of these babies go on to receive their first communion. Thanks for the memory, Jeanne. Hugs, Ginny Scavuzzo
Ginny - what a wonderful memory and so special too!
DeleteOn a side note, not sure if you remember my name - but I worked downstairs from you in the Financial Aid Office. I think of you often as I have a few of the pins you painted and I wear them on my jackets and sweaters. Hope all is well with you. Have a wonderful holiday season! :-)
As always, your cake looks lovely; and with scones it sounds perfectly delightful!
