Grey Ombre Wedding Cake - It's a miracle! I finished a wedding cake with hours to spare! No mater how much I prepare, or start early, I always seem to finish a cake less than an hour before go time. Good thing this one wasn't too tall though, the wind would have blown it over! :-) Also, it was the first time I have ever done a cake near a pool where there wasn't a close call. This cake was blessed.
