= MY SISTER’S WEDDING CAKE!!!
I was so busy with the cake, I forgot to take a picture. Here’s one thanks to my cousin, Kristen. It didn’t turn out exactly like I planned, but no one noticed because they were all looking at the beautiful bride!
More pictures from the trip to Michigan are coming soon!
