There’s absolutely zero chocolate in this cake, just a mountain of whipped cream!
Honestly though, their pastries are legit—so many talented women working there, I don't even know how else to put it.😍 I ended up grabbing this wedding cake, some cookies, and another 12 cakes for the buffet spread.

Alright, I'm not gonna change a thing! 😉 😉 Seriously though, this cake looks absolutely stunning 🥳

I'll just grab those hand sprayers so everyone can help themselves if they want to 😍

Linda Barnes8, I actually picked up everything—the cookies, the cakes, the whole deal—over in Small Town, USA 😍

Wait, so who's actually in charge of the bride if she’s an only child? 🤔 🤔 🤔

So here’s the cake! I honestly think it turned out fantastic, mostly because we went with candles instead of those messy sprinkles—we aren't really big fans of those—and we could actually use some fresh flowers on top. Because of that, I guess it might just be better to stick with Tricia's way of doing things

Anyone got some advice? 😁

I just grabbed this cake, and now I'm thinking... what if I swapped out this single candle on top for those little glitter spray cans instead? 🤷 I feel like if I just leave it as is, half the crowd won't even notice it, but the spray would definitely pop! 😁

I'll probably just do my own makeup. I've been looking at photos of professional stylists lately and honestly, none of their styles are really my vibe. I need to go heavy on the eyes because otherwise, I look totally washed out—like a ghost or something! Plus, I’ll probably try to catch some sun in the backyard before then 😍 and I'll instantly look way better

Hey! How much are those balloons going for over there? Since you're from the Midwest, I figured you'd know—did you pick some up recently?

Yay! I finally found 😍 thanks so much 😉

Robert Moore86, I can't find those "99 balloons" on Facebook! Is that actually what I should type into the search bar?? Nothing's popping up for me.

Joe Biden, mine turned out EXACTLY the same way! 👍👍👍👍

Anyone happen to 🤔

Thanks so much! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Any idea why they're doing that?

rapiddrifter7 said:Hmm...don't quote me on this, but I’d guess they’re around $0.33. Honestly though, you might be better off just getting the plain ones and picking up some ribbon to do it yourself. If you happen to be living in Indianapolis, you can grab some really inexpensive ribbon over at Super! 🙂

I don't mind heading out to Indy 😁 where exactly at Walmart should I look? And how much is that ribbon?

rapiddrifter7 said:Check out the New York Stock Exchange listings; you can find plenty of postings there, whether you’re looking for spiked or unspiked rosemary... The unspiked ones go for about 40 cents. 🙂

Thanks! So how much would the decorated ones run me??

gentledriver92, where on earth did you grab those cookies???

Oatmeal Cake

Ingredients

* 160 g egg whites (about 4 eggs)
* 50 g maraschino cherries
* 50 g raisins
* 1 large apple
* 200 g cottage cheese
* 350 g oats

INSTRUCTIONS

Whip those egg whites until they're super fluffy!

Fold in the fruit and the cottage cheese, then give it one more quick mix.

Throw in the apples. You can grate them, but I usually just chop them up—I put half in the batter and slice the rest on top.

Stir in the oats.

Pour everything into a baking pan, arrange the apple slices on top, and bake at about 350-400 °F for 30-40 mins. You want it golden brown and for the extra moisture from the apples to cook off.

You can pop this in the fridge and just zap it in the microwave for like 30 seconds in the morning. Since the fruit is the main sweetener, feel free to toss in extra apples or a bit of honey if you need it sweeter!
