Let them eat cake!

One of my friends has recently started baking wedding cakes to distract her from a full-time job as an elementary school teacher.  She dragged me along to one of the reception venues back in the spring, where I acted as Artistic Director A.K.A. The One Who Decides Where The Flowers Should Be Placed, and also so that I could take a few pictures of her final creation.

It was delightful.  My only complaint is that she didn’t let me take a slice of cake home with me.

(P.S. One of my other friends, who is getting her PhD in french studies, will most likely request that I set the record straight - Marie Antoinette NEVER said, “Let them eat cake!”)

Amusing yet somewhat shameful confession.

It’s been so long since I attempted to blog, I couldn’t even remember the log-in.  (This will be the only reference to my blog sabbatical.)

WHAT have I been doing since March?

Not much.  I quit one of my jobs (the one that provided free housing, but contractually made me a homebody), moved across town, re-discovered the joys of cooking, obsessed with my BFF over the many many MANY details of her wedding which will take place in three weeks, and which will be my very first wedding as The Photographer.

The. Photographer.

As in, no others.  It’s all on this girl.

She couldn’t be more excited.
