This morning I woke up and started getting everything together that I would need to take to Salt Lake with me to set up this cake. In the middle of all that, I got a message from Rex telling me to call him. I called and was told that somehow the cake board ended up with cola droplets on it and there were now spots on the fondant covering it. How that happened, we have no idea! When we put it in the walk in, it was perfectly clean and white. During the day today the guy came to fix the walk-in (good timing, right?) and so they went to move our cakes to the back and that's when they noticed it. Rex wiped the soda off. Luckily it was the board and we were covering it with flowers and cake anyway. After that, we loaded everything into the back of my car and we headed out.
Thankfully we arrived safely and everything was good with the cake. The only thing that happened on the way there was the cake had sunk probably about 1/4" so the dowels stuck up just a little bit in the middle tier. No big deal. We were going to be putting ribbon on it anyway.
We got to the reception location and got to work. We were only able to get in 2 hours before it started and by the time we got everything together we only had about an hour and a half total to get it set up and decorated with flowers.
Adrienne and I are a good team and we work together well and quickly. Kendall (Adrienne's boyfriend) came with her and helped us as well, and that was really nice! It made it a bit easier.
Here is our cake all stacked up waiting for ribbon.
Figuring out how we wanted the ribbon. Each layer was going to be different.

Just finishing up the ribbon:
We were pretty proud of our cake and how well it turned out, especially after all the problems we had with it. It's even more awesome that the entire thing is cake and there are not any fake layers! Go Adrienne! (With a little help from me...)
Our cake all ready to go, waiting for the flowers
The back of the cake. I used corsage pins to hold the ribbon in. I like the look of the pearls on the back.
Helping Debbie put all the flowers on
Our cake 100% finished. It turned out awesome and I'm completely proud of it. Marcie liked it and told me it was better than what she thought she even wanted! (Debbie and I planned out the whole thing)
