What a day. Have I ever told you how much I hate delivering buttercream cakes during the summer. Half way between Legendary and Piedmont Park I looked in the rear view mirror to see Kristi's hand supporting the cake with the icing squeezing out from between her fingers. I will be lodging my complaint with Kasim on Monday.

I should have snapped the cake before we left. It started as a simple gum paste flower boarder, but after our repair job we had a nice cascade instead. All in all it turned out well. The brides were happy and the guests ate all but two slices.

It had been a minute - we are still very busy here. It seems every time someone says, "it's going to be a slow..." that business picks up. I am not complaining, just saying.
