Today's goal: Finish baking Rick'n'Abby's wedding cake. There is cake in my oven right now. There is cake in my refrigerator waiting to go into my oven. There are cake ingredients in my kitchen waiting to be mixed up into the final layer. It is a cake baking day. I baked one layer of the bottom tier on Sunday so today I'm baking all the other tiers and the other bottom layer. The way I see it, if I can finish baking today and make icing and filling tomorrow then assemble the bottom layer on Thursday things will go better on Friday.
Since I am now fairly certain that everything will work, I can now explain why their cake is so stressful to me: We have planned it to have a real working waterfall running from the middle layer to the bottom layer. I don't think I could do this with a cake for ANYONE else. Rick'n'Abby have been so great about sharing their creative talents and built the ponds and waterfall themselves. Branden has been helping me with information about water and pumps and built the stand to go under the cake. Katie has been helping with some of the practical aspects and just letting me bounce ideas off her. There's a good chance that after this cake is completed I will be able to do this again on another cake, but without all the help I've received there's no way I could have been even this close to making something like this work. I am so very excited to see this all come together but, at the same time, I am stressed because no matter how much help I've had, I'm the one who has to pull it all together and make it work.
Now the timer is going off and I need to get back to cake baking. Wish me luck!

well you are amazing and if anyone could make it work its you. If somebody (even a loved one)had asked me to do something like that the answer would have been NO - not even something I would be willing to attempt-so good for you, good luck.
