They wanted a simple white cake, so I tried out a recipe last weekend. It tasted delicious, but being the perfectionist that I am, I was not happy with the way it was looking. I was having a hard time getting the buttercream smooth. I found a neat trick online, and I have to say, the final cake turned out pretty darn good. I am proud! I hope Brian and his new wife like it!! Congratulations to them!
Here are a few shots I took before Beth whisked it away (I hope it survives the hour car ride to their house tomorrow!). Please ignore the disaster that is my kitchen counter.
Thanks to Beth for thinking I'm a good enough baker to make her brother's wedding cake, and thanks to Jaime for letting me borrow your oven! (Mine broke two days ago, just in time for me to have to bake Thanksgiving pies and someones wedding cake!).
Anyone else need a cake?? :)

I can totally see the difference in the icing before and after. What's the secret? How many layers is that? Great job!!
The cake looks so elegant! Did you make the pearls, too??
Yay Erin! Looks super great! Mwah!
it looks so good, good job! i am sure they loved it. yeah what is the secret, i told you suzanne's secret too ;)
Thanks guys! Heather the secret is the paper towel smoothing method, which I think was Suzanne's secret also, but I forgot until I found it on the interwebs again ;)
Mommy, I did NOT make the pearls hahahah good joke ;)
Very nice! I love the touch of the pearls.
I was actually wondering if they were edible icing pearls or a "decoration" silly!
the pearls were edible little crunchy candies, not icing.
