So for the final count, today I managed to use 4 pounds of butter. 5 pounds of sugar. 3 pounds of flour. And 2 dozen eggs. Yes. All in one cake. Ok, one giant tiered cake. Oh, and also about 10 pounds of fondant. No joke.
Lemon curd filling. So yummy.
At some point during the process a baby bird flew into the kitchen, derailing my photo taking while we got the birdy out the door. But here is the second tier, strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream filling.
All covered with fondant, ready for the "flair".
The theme for the party is polka dots and lot's of color. Hopefully I got it right.
And of course it needed a little "e" for our Ella Cabela:
And there you have it. I'm really praying it all holds together and doesn't fall in on itself before the party tomorrow. The sucker weighs a good 20-30 pounds. I put the dowels in to support the tiers, so fingers crossed! Now this baking lady is gonna make a strong cup o' tea and have me a sit down. My tootsies are barkin'! :)
