R & R

Yesterday was a very special day for my good friend Rachel...she became Mrs. Rob Parish!  They are an amazing couple, and I'm so glad I got to be a part of their beautiful wedding day!  Congrats to you both!
This was my first official wedding cake, and I'm so thankful that Rachel and Rob had the faith in me that I could make them a beautiful cake.  The bride and groom decided on my classic Red Velvet cake, but with a chocolate cream cheese filling rather than traditional vanilla, and I must say, it might be my new favorite combo!  
Rachel decided that she wanted to have chocolate fondant, with red and white as her colors, and said she wanted "swirls and dots!"  I've known Rachel for many years, so I had no doubt that I could make a cake that would be "her."  
This was also a bit of a nerve-wracking experience due to the fact that I was attending the wedding, and was there to see everyone's reaction when they took their first bite of the cake.  Turns out I had absolutely nothing to worry about at all!  The cake was a success, and I received many praises from all the wedding guests!  
Again, I thank Rachel and Rob for letting me be a part of their special day!
