Long Weekend, Cake Icing and Family

I had a long weekend, but it sure didn't feel like it. We had a family reunion Saturday and my grandparents 68th Anniversary Reception. It was definitely a long day. Friday I spent ALL day baking and decorating 3 cakes for their reception. I taught myself how to decorate cakes about four years ago when I wanted to start making my girls birthday cakes. It's definitely time consuming, but a wonderful feeling of accomplishment once you finish. Needless to say when I got finished about 11:30 Friday night, I had icing from head to toe, but I thought they turned out pretty and my grandmother loved it......that made every minute spent worth it!
