This past weekend my friends (who are both named Robert and who previously taught me how to make this delicious Mac N Cheese) had the most beautiful wedding! I rather ambitiously ended up offering to do the flowers AND make the cake. YIKES. But I played it smart and did some excellent outsourcing. To wit, the cake: I enlisted my friend Rodney, who's the pastry chef of the uber-delicious Delessio. We were given a picture of a cake and tried to faithfully recreate it. It was definitely a team effort, and we ended up with this:



So it's not perfect, but let's remember: it was free. Ha!

The flowers were a different story. There were some, uh, challenges. So. Moving on. Let's just look at the final results- roses for the nosegays, and hydrangeas in matte brown Ikea pots for the tables.

 

The wedding was at the Arboretum in San Francisco followed by a fabulous dinner at Indigo. All in all a magical night! But... I definitely won't be volunteering for this type of activity in the near future!
