The Cake that Started it All - Megan's Cake
This is Megan's cake. She's a brave soul. She had asked me to make her wedding cake despite the fact that I had never made a fancy cake before. No pressure, right? But I did my research, took over the kitchen for a few days, and made a practice cake (which my home teachers appreciated). This is the final result. Not bad for a first-timer, right?

If I have to, I guess... - Jody's Cake
I told my younger sister Jody that I wouldn't make her wedding cake for her. Who wants to deal with stress right before their sister's wedding? But she forced me into it...and didn't even pay me. Pff. Good thing she's my favorite sister.
