Piece of cake... or not!
I suppose it wouldn't be a typical wedding without some kind of snafu...
But the bride and groom didn't know about it until the day after, so I suppose we handled it well.
A small bakery in our hometown made their cupcakes and cake to cut. When mom, Hannah, and Jason went to pick up the cake on Saturday morning, it looked like this...
The design was just like the picture, but the pink was NOT! With navy, red, orange, and yellow for wedding colors, pink was just not an option.
So Hannah and I got to work right away...
We scraped off massive amounts of pink frosting and had our aunt and uncle pick up some buttercream from Dillon's, since we knew there was no way we'd have time to make frosting and fix the cake.
We then left to set up and decorate at the barn, sprinting back around lunch time to eat, fix the cake, and change.
We slathered on the pale yellow buttercream to cover up all the pink and used a knife to make a design similar to what it looked like before. It looked...... okay.
Brad and I drove it (nervously) over to the venue, where it was graced with a "K" cake topper. I arranged a few flowers on top of it (and on top of the cupcake tower) and called it good.
I heard that Megan commented on how beautiful it was.
Mission accomplished.
