Lollipop Tree

PP#10: Lollipop Tree

Yesterday was Anna and Matt's wedding. Noah and I arrived a little flustered, only a few minutes before the start of the service, bearing the fruit of the morning's labour: a caramel mud cake, iced after the fashion of a five-year-old with a white chocolate ganache simultaneously too runny and hideously lumpy.

I enjoyed attending an entire service with my husband; it was something of a novelty that he didn't have to stand up or give an announcement or preach a sermon or run a youth group even once during the service! We held hands and enjoyed the ceremony, in many ways reminiscent of our own nuptials now almost a whole year ago! We should really think about taking down that "Just Married" banner sometime soon...

The party after the service was rather good too. There was a lot of cake, and then, because they felt we'd probably had enough cake by the time we got round to the speeches, they gave us ice cream. Yum! And the heavily laden cake table gave me the opportunity to snap this week's Pleasing Photo of the Lollipop Tree, seen above. A fun wedding!

Not as fun as ours, of course.

I was gratified to see that, despite the lumpy ganache, my cake was gone within minutes of the guests entering the large hall. Perhaps something to do with its judiciously central placement on the table...

Oh, and for an added bonus, here's a photo Noah took of me enjoying one of the lollipops*.

*Yes, I agree, it's better than the PP. But I didn't take it!!
