It was a wonderful, but BUSY weekend... We love Chris, and have a new appreciation for who he is after meeting his family. We love them too!! By the way, Chris and his dad look like a TWINS, not father and son??!! If you overlook the slightly greying hair...(his dad, not Chris).

I really don't have many photos at all... I'll have to wait and blog again when Wendy, the family photographer sends me her pics. She has the only one taken of our Morrison 5 all together, and dressed up for the day.

Here is the cake, finally finished and ready to be served. Unfortunately the photo does pick up the slight "squish" on the left side of lowest level of the cake. It had a slight lean, that was actually less noticeable in real life.

This was the top section, with their Monogram, CFB,
There were 5 sections to the cake, with 2 layers in each section (plus a separate small double layer Birthday cake for the mother of the groom). The cakes travelled perfectly from our house to Rosholt. Freezing was a definite help. So, other than having to have my oven repaired the DAY I wanted to start baking, the rest of the procedure was a breeze!!

Dad did the "fancy" work on the cake... I love his grapevine on the lowest level. I did the assembly, base frosting and frosting pearls between each layer. We "budgeted" about 2 hours for the assembly and decorating... obviously we have not done this in a while. Reality hit us at about the 3rd hour... but really, it was only about 3 1/2 hours from start to finish. (not the baking of course).

Last but not least, the lovely bride and groom. This isn't the best picture of Bethany, but it does show off her dress neckline, and gorgeous bouquet! LOVE those roses!!
