…. to the tune of dueling banjo’s.
Ok, let me preface this with- THIS WAS NOT MY IDEA.
My sweet, beautiful, wonderful cousin is getting married this Saturday and because she was planning her wedding on a pretty tight budget, I offered to make a grooms cake for her. Now, the original cake was to be a chocolate cake with an incredibly decadent chocolate ganache icing and chocolate covered strawberries on top- to tie together and compliment a chocolate fountain she was also having to dip strawberries in.
However, my darling mother said “I think you should suggest to her to do a cake that has something to do with a particular interest of the grooms.” Upon suggesting this to my cousin, she thought it was a wonderful idea and we settled on the West Virginia University Logo because he’s a big fan. So- my once imagined sinfully delightful chocolate chocolate on more chocolate cake has now become a chocolate on chocolate cake that could be the centerpiece at a college football tailgating party. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. See:
So, there you have it. A cake celebrating that University in West-by-God-Virginia.
Despite the blazing logo, I suppose it doesn’t look half bad. However, if I have to continue to endure the smell of chocolate that is permeating my kitchen, and more than likely my very pores- I am going to be sick. So, on that note, I bid you au revoir et salut- I am off to dreamland.
Oh, and by the way- Usta Kitty says hello.
MMMMMMmmmmm, CHOCOLATE!!! Hey, can you make me a cake like that when I move into the new house??? ;O) I guess I have to learn to love WVA football?!?!?!?
Have fun at the wedding this weekend!!!! I’m stacking up the sewing stuff for our sewing work weekend!
HI Usta!!!!
Hey Usta! Chocolate cake sounds good. So does cookies. I need to hang out with you more often.
