60 Years and Counting...


This was my very first cake that people would eat. Not that all the others haven't been eaten, but this would actually be eaten by "other" people. By that I mean, other people than family! This cake was the cake that pretty much started it all! Tim's grandparents, Bro. Buddy & Jeanene Bryant were celebrating their 60th Wedding Anniversary! It was a surprise party and it turned out great!

We started this cake at 5:00 Friday evening, and finished about 6:00 am Saturday morning. Many shakes, shot nerves & tears later, the finished product turned out beautiful! I remember having to make a Wal-Mart run for Clear Vanilla & Chocolate Cake mix at about 1:30 am, and having a breakdown in the middle of the baking aisle because they didn't have the Clear Vanilla. I'll never forget the look on the lil night stockers face when he told me they didn't carry it. Poor guy probably thought about calling the State Hospital on a crazy lady in Powdered Sugar coated clothes, crying over vanilla! Luckily I found some in the Wilton section....so we were all good!

Finally got to bed, only to get up early to deliver a baby shower cake to Britany Schmidt! (Which is the next blog).

Anywho, my in-laws came to pick the cake & I up to take to the party location. My mother-in-law was taken back , I think anyways, on how great it turned out! Felt bad that we stayed up SO late working on it, but it was totally worth it! The guest's of honor loved it, friends and family all oo'd and aw'd over it!! I was honored to just be a part of their celebration! Here's to 60 years and counting!
