Become a Wedding Planner


Weddings can be fun. This one was a small outdoor wedding with about 50 people attending. Just beware that if you do the decorations, the flowers, the cake, the food and plan the ceremony at some point something will go wrong. Fortunately the only thing that happened was out of my control, the best man was late. Everything else went smoothly and it was a wonderful wedding (even if a bit late in starting). I big thank you to my helpers; Stephany, Meghan, Eric, Jacob and Will. Also thanks to DJ Santiago Paramo for wonderful music during the wedding and meal, and for keeping everyone dancing till the party was over. Couldn't have pulled it off without their help the day before and the day of the wedding. Congratulations to the happy couple! (Not so sure I am going to try this one again! Although fun, it was a lot of work!!)

Make a Three Tier Fondant Cake

I made a Three Tier Fondant, marble cake, and it turned out pretty good for a first. After baking 4 inch high cakes each with a different diameter of 5, 7, and 9 inches, I then adding icing between the layers along with columns inside to help support the structure and avoid the weight from shifting. I rolled out the fondant and added it to each layer (not an easy task) before decorating the cake. Seven hours is too long for making a cake... next time I am buying it!!
