Over the weekend, our family celebrated my parents 50th Anniversary. Although I practiced making chocolate lace (previous post), I didn't have any confidence in my abilities at this point so I didn't try it. Instead, I wrapped some ribbon along the bottom of each cake tier and sprinkled it with gold colored sugar and called it done.
I also decided to try to make some flower arrangements with little puppy flowers. I bought a variety of flowers at the local grocery stone, floral foam and a little decorative box and made 2 arrangements. One for my parents and one for my grandmother because grandma's should always get their own flowers to take home.
Here's a close up of the cake. The bottom tier is yellow cake with raspberry, the center is hummingbird cake with cream cheese icing and the third is yellow cake with orange curd. Of course we had way too much cake but that's what freezers are for.
Mom got her wedding cake cutter out from June 1966, which of course we used to cut the cake 50 years later.
We couldn't have asked for a nicer day. The weather was gorgeous, dad was at the grill and the raspberry lemonade was cold. Here's to many more years to a great couple. Love you.
