A little bit tired, a little bit proud and very much relieved.

Just got home from my friend Becki's wedding reception and MY GOODNESS the whole thing was just gorgeous. The venue, the decor and yes yes yes of course THE BRIDE. Her new husband, very lucky guy indeed. So the purpose of this post is to show you the result of my 'hard work' haha. I had mixed feelings about it this morning because I hadn't seen it in all its glory. I told my friend I felt like a mother whose child came 3rd in a race out of four. Not my proudest moment, but I'll take it.

But THEN... I saw it on the stand with flowers behind it, and saw how people reacted when they saw it and then I was oh so very proud :D

Enough talk though, here is my baby.


Pretty cool, right? Yeah you're damn right it is. White chocolate mud cake with milk chocolate ganache filling. While I'm not really sure if I'd ever do another wedding cake again, I'm glad I did because it was a moderately enlightening experience (yes, I do realise I'm the only person that would think that). Here's what I learnt:

1. I can become overwhelmed and frustrated at the drop of a hat and all it takes to make it better is telling myself to get over it.
2. Patience is key. You're not an idiot, you just didn't give it enough time or thought. Try, try again.
3. I believe it is okay and somewhat healthy to attempt things you don't think you will succeed at or feel completely overwhelmed by. The feeling of accomplishment is far better than any fear or anxiety felt in the process.

That is all. Thanks for reading. Let the bragging rights commence! Heehee.

P.S. What did I do with all the bits of cake I cut off? Cake-pops, that's what.
