Excellent housewarming party
My friend ZoeJane and her Lord of the Realm had a housewarming party last night to, well, warm the house they just moved into last week. It has fantastic wood floors and a large master bedroom and shiny new appliances in the kitchen. There’s a built-in wine rack that filled with gift bottles of wine as guests arrived. Although there were 3-4 empty wine bottles at the end of the night so perhaps it’s not as full as it could be.
In addition to wine, I brought a small homemade wedding cake to celebrate their marriage two months ago. Their wedding was in the Bahamas and they didn’t even have a cake, so I thought this would be a good time to commemorate the occasion stateside. Matt Mechtley gave me two little figurines to use as the bridal couple on top: an elf swordsman from HeroQuest and a Chaos Warrior from Warhammer on which I glued a veil and tiny tiara. (ZoeJane enjoys fantasy novels and games.) I was pleased with myself. The cake was delicious and I will post pictures when they are available. My first real wedding cake was a success!

it was fun! I think 15 is about right… and the time flew! I couldn’t believe it was already 1 am. I’m going post pictures now.

Whoa….I recall you decorated the shit out of my wedding cake. You did all the real work on that and it was beautiful.

Oh yeah, that was a real wedding cake I did. I didn’t make any of the components or use any decorations besides frosting, though. Still, I helped with the assembly and the end result was only somewhat crooked. Ok the top tier was really crooked and it got more so as the frosting softened.
