Why wedding cakes cost so much

As a long time baker who worked in corporate and private bakeries while in college, I was making not purchasing the products and hadn't really considered this concept before, after all, your typical college slave labor is making not much over minimum wage anyway, irregardless of what the bakery is getting paid for your labors.

The rules state to enter your "cakes decorated with gumpaste flowers" so we're looking for photos of cakes, not just the flowers. Any that weren't eligible I noted as such in the title. Also - you had entered 3 photos of the same cake so I chose the first photo since it showed the most and labeled the other two as duplicates. This just helps us keep track so we know we've looked at them. Thanks! And good luck!

That is so sad. My niece also lost a baby at 15 weeks old about 3 1/2 years ago right around Christmas, and my daughter and her sister were pregnant at the same time she was. It was really hard for her to be around any of them. They were due within 2 weeks of each other. She has 2 more little girls now. But it is still hard especially around the holidays

My son's email and nickname was frogkingbob. Hence the name frogking. I buy everything I see with frogs on it. He passed away in 2008.
I made the frogs for my grandson's 3rd birthday cake last nov and he still talks about the froggy cake.
