This week my sister was in town so that her and my mom could make a four tiered wedding cake for a family friend.  Let that sink in.  Four layers. Two flavors. The middle of each layer was layered with a fruit filling or ganache (this is basically a fudgy filling for those other non-bakers).  And then of course it was to be decorated.

I was lucky enough that my oven is bigger than my mom's so she had to make the bottom layer at our house.  Why does this make me lucky?  Because she left us a tiny little cake which was perfect for my family of three to enjoy.  I thought the hard part was complete and enthusiastically took to making icing for the cake and decorating it.  This is what happened....

What do you think? Beautiful, right?

The only positive I can take out of this is that the cake was delicious!  But alas, it wasn't made by me so I can't count it as a victory.

Here is a picture of the cake my mom and sister made:
