Last time I tried to make the cake, I did something really stupid because some lady at Michael's told me it would help. It didn't. I ended up throwing the whole thing away.

So this time (on Friday... for the wedding!) it's gonna be PERFECT!

I've got the minis all figured out... now I'm just researching different methods of sticking that dang ribbon onto the cake.

Apparently the ribbon will absorb the grease from the frosting pretty easily. One person recommended ironing wax paper on to the back before putting it on the cake. So I think I'll try that. And then either a dab of icing or some sugar water to keep the ends together.

All in all, this has been really expensive but a lot of fun. I can't wait to see how it all turns out!
