    You have my highest praise and admiration!  We just had my inlaws 40th anniversary party and as a surprise to them I made all the desserts for it.  I recreated the taste of the wedding cake and did a double layer cherry cake with vanilla buttercream frosting.  Since we had about 70 people there I made more desserts - 60 red velvet mini cupcakes, 24 Cinnabon cupcakes and another cake, chocolate with salted caramel buttercream frosting, all from scratch

    Thankfully they all turned out really well and I got compliments from everyone all day.  But I had to bake on Saturday morning, go to work from 2pm-9:30pm and then come home for a couple more hours and bake.  Then I woke up the day of to make some more frosting and frosted the minis. 

    I have no idea how you brides can do all this for your wedding, especially when there are so many other things going on!!!  I wouldve never been able to do it, even if I did have more fridge space :)  I was able to refrigerate everything thankfully...our apartment gets quite warm and I didnt want all the frosting to melt all over.

    Haha, this made me smile! I bet your desserts turned out lovely. 

    I never knew how stressful it would be until my first trials. I'm still really looking forward to it (I'm doing a medium-sized wedding cake, and then a bunch of layer cakes) but it's such a huge undertaking.

    @naangel55:  Yummy! I would totally hire you to make the cupcakes at my wedding. Those flavors sound incredible.
