A Golden Anniversary Cake

click to enlarge
One of the favorite things about my little home business is when I get to do special orders for people I know. Our next door neighbors of 23 years celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary this week. They were married the week I was born! :) They are also Jill's parents! Jill was nice enough to ask me to bake the cake for their celebration. It was so fun! Moist white cake with butter cream frosting. Candy pearls and gold dust were the finishing touches. If you want to see their 1961 wedding photos, click on Jill's name for the embedded link.
Happy Anniversary Mitch and Mary!

  6. Oh that is so beautiful.....Wish you could have made mine and Don's!!!

    Come to think of it, we didn't have a cake. We were in Las Vegas to see the Lion King, and I had my worst gall bladder attack...what a memory.

    You are such a marvelous "Artist" is so many unique ways. Love you.

  18. Damn! You know me and food.
    But to say anything else would be rude.
    You did a really good job on that
    Wow very impressive to the cat
    They should definitely find that all nice and sweet
    Looks too good to even eat
    Not that, that would ever be done by Pat anyway
    But that is sure quite the display

  19. Well, thanks very much, Pat.
    It took a lot for you to say that!
    Such nice things about food
    you must be trying to be good.

    Orlin might give it a lick
    and then I'd have to give a kick.
    lol...
    no, I could never
    or would I ever.
    ha.

  20. haha yeah he prob would give it a lick
    But if he saw you and you weren't as still as a brick
    He'd leap five feet in the air(no joke)
    And be off before you could touch a hair
    Of course he'd knock everything else over in is wake
    So better never to let him near your cake

    ReplyDelete
  21. Pat ~ five feet in the air, oh my!
    We'd be looking at each other eye to eye!
    I guess I wouldn't mind that
    as long as I didn't get a scratch
    And just so he didn't land on the cake
    then my head I'd have to shake.
