It was loved and delicious. However, the top layer was the anniversarly cake. We stored it in my mother-in-laws freezer to enjoy. Well, Hank, like you we didn't have much luck with it. It was fallen apart when defroasted. We tried to put it back together to cut it and it fell apart again. Guess what we found? A huge rather dead moth!

She rarely does it now and would probably cuss at the rose "tee" if she had to do another rose. :) I have never been married, so I haven't had a wedding cake, yet.

In response ...Loved the interview, Mary & Hank. In response to my wedding cake, it is a wonderful memory for me. My husband & I married with $500 in the bank. Little did we know then that 5 days after the wedding he would be fighting for his life and remain in hospital for 6 weeks! This would continue for another 15 years. <br /><br />Because we had no money (and soon my husband would have no job, but we didn't know that yet), we held the wedding at my Grandparent's house. 88 people were in attendance, all related except 4. The minister performed the service free.<br /><br />But back to the cake. Grandma, Mom, my Aunt and me all made the fruit cake, taking turns mixing it. A neighbour of Grandma's did the decorating, plain by today's standards, but it looked great to me, and had plastic doves which I still have. We were married on the Ides of March (we should have known better), but next March we will celebrate 48 years of marriage, so we must have done something right!<br /><br />Betty Geleannightreaderhttp://nightreader-blog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-59348193430635404322010-12-01T16:26:18.582-05:002010-12-01T16:26:18.582-05:00My wedding cake was quite plain.
