Adventure #1

Wow what a weekend and what an adventure. This weekend I had a wedding cake to do and I had every intention of posting something for the 4th because my kitchen was already covered in powdered sugar but the storms had a different idea. I had to take my powdered sugar else where. Around 5pmto yesterday we lost power. The good thing was all the cakes were baked and the icing made. I tried to ice the cake with a flash light in my other had. It was getting darker and the power was still not on. I had a decision to make. Do i wait it out or pack it all up and head to electricity? Come 10pm we were still out and I was beginning to worry it would get too warm in the house and the butter cream would start to melt. I made my decision...off to my brothers I went powdered sugar and all. My brother was nice enough to cover their dinning room table with a table cloth. I was a good sister though and brought my own folding table for my mess. I was not going to subject his furniture to my wrath of powdered sugar. By 3am I had finished and was ready for some shut eye. You never know what card you will be dealt but this weekend I was very appreciative of the help. All in all everything turned out ok and it was a fun adventure. I will post a picture when the power comes back on...7pm Saturday and still out. Thank goodness for phones.

Update...
The power finally came on Monday night. It has been one busy week. Here is a picture of the cake :)
