CAKE & TOPPER
Our cake was an amazing geode cake!!! Huge thank you to Laurie for being willing to make us one. She and I discussed some ideas on the cake, tossed some picture ideas back and forth and came to the conclusion that Cody and I wanted to see her creativity at work. She wanted a chance to play with her cake making skills and we wanted to provide her with that.
The little purple and green clay dragons we crafted up to be our cake topper. Now we just need to find a base for them to sit on...a small round mirror or something. |

**8-21-19 Amazing cake update!!!
Normally I am not much for cake. Cody neither really. But that cake that Laurie made us was so good we had to fight people off the last of the top section so we could have some of the elderberry cake ourselves! Every layer was incredibly moist and tasted absolutely amazing. The buttercream frosting even tasted amazing and I really REALLY dislike frosting usually! Laurie did truly amazing. You could taste the love in every bite. That cake truly tasted like a special treat! Believe it or not, there isn't much left of it either. Everyone who got some, absolutely loved it and came back for more.
Now the wedding cake being amazing is awesome, but there was also a special cake made just for the kiddos...which they more than happily ferreted off like a bunch of sugar sprites and vanished into the trees for a short time.
We can't thank you enough Laurie for all the ways you helped pull all of this together, and still pulled off some amazing save action. Thank you so very much!
For those interested, I HIGHLY recommend Laurie Watkins awesome officiant skills. She's amazing!
