Photo Challenge--Sweets

I've been a little extra busy lately, so I had to pull some old photos for this week's Brenda's Photo Challenge. This first picture is the groom's cake which I made for my son's wedding a couple year's ago. It was a sweet occasion.

And it was such a sweet occasion that I'm using the Brides' cake from the same event as my second photo. My co-worker made this beautiful cake. I made the flowers and the brides bouquet next to it. I really enjoyed being a part of this wonderful event for my son and his lovely wife.


My last picture takes a little different approach to the theme. My second son, Stephen, has a very special girlfriend. They've been dating for 4 or 5 years now and they celebrate their "dating anniversary" each Nov. For their 3rd anniversary, he made her a bank and took pictures of the project throughout the process. He spent hours making the bank and then put the pictures together as a Power Point with their "song" playing in the background. So my final entry for sweets is the finished labor of love. It thought this was a very "sweet" display of his love and devotion to her. They are not engaged yet, because they are waiting until they are both finished with college.
Now I'm off to the Women of Faith conference. So it will be later tonight before I can check everyone else's pictures of Sweets. Have fun!!

those cakes are beautiful...you are an accountant and a cake maker, how did you receive so much talent? I've always wanted to take a cake decorating class but haven't gotten around to it yet...maybe someday. Love the bank and its meaning too...very sweet indeed.
