Yesterday I got to go to easily the coolest and most open minded wedding I had ever been to. One of my dearest friend's sisters was getting married and I was asked to make the cake and so I was able to go celebrate the marriage of Sam and Robyn. The really cool thing about their wedding was that it was an interracial lesbian wedding that was 100% legal in the state of Iowa. It wasn't a commitment ceremony but these two got to express their love for each other in front of their friends and family, in the eyes of God and in a legally binding ceremony. It was awesome. A few weeks prior, Robyn's adoption of Detroit, a special needs child, was made official. Sam and Robyn are now an amazing family of 4, including Sam's son from a previous marriage. It was so fun to be a part of their special day and I'm so glad they allowed me to make all their wedding day goodies! How else do you celebrate a gay wedding except with a rainbow cake! I made a two tiered rainbow cake that was very wedding appropriate on the outside but a lot more fun on the inside. The reaction from everyone during the cake cutting was great!
The butterflies were also edible.
The happy couple with their fantastic rainbow cake!
In addition to the rainbow cake, I made 10 dozen cupcakes.
Instead of posting all the the recipes here I will link to the ones I used!
I made a total of 5 cupcake flavors:
1) Blue Velvet
2) Chocolate Espresso
3) Chocolate
4) Pink Champagne
5) Wedding Cake
I know its been a long time since I updated my blog. This has been a crazy busy year and I haven't had much time for baking. I'm hoping I can do a little bit more once I get my new oven installed. A big thank you to my friend Teresa for being my baking assistant and making it all possible. But most of all:
Congratulations to the new
Samantha and Robyn Carwyn!
