Finished Object Friday - 40th Anniversary!

Well, the second Friday in August just flew past me! I did think about this poor neglected blog, but just didn't get any posting done. Nope today is not Friday, but tomorrow is! :)

Part of my busy-ness last Friday was helping to plan a 40th Anniversary celebration for our pastor and his wife! What a wonderful thing to celebrate!!! Basically all of my Saturday was spent baking and decorating a cake for them. ("Thank you" my friend Clara for her help!!)



It was my first time doing a cake like this - I've never done tiers before, and I enjoyed it! Each tier was a different flavor - starting with red velvet on the bottom than chocolate and strawberry on the small top tier. I love doing those frosting roses - so easy and yet, it looks so pretty!!

I assembled the cake "on site" so it was hard to get a good picture of just the cake... ;)



Happy anniversary to a wonderful couple!!


And of course, a cake cutting picture:

Now it's your turn!! Maybe you have some fun school project or fall decorating! :) It's hard to believe that it's that time of year already! Where, oh where, did the summer go?? :)

  3. What a lovely cake! I'm sure they especially appreciated the fact that you made the cake instead of having a store-bought cake.

    I thought this was the second Friday of the month. You can tell it's been a little crazy at my house lately!

  4. Seriously, that is the prettiest cake!! And you've had me hungry for red velvet ever since you made it ;) Maybe next time I'll have something besides the laundry finished for FOF! ;)
