Lauren's Engagement Party

My beautiful niece Lauren is engaged to be married!!! 

Lauren is such a loving, caring, talented, giving, faithful and beautiful woman, I am so proud to call her "niece".  It seems like only yesterday she was little.

She's a Charleston cutie!

Now she's all grown up and she found her love and is ready to take a leap into married life. 
Jason is one LUCKY guy!  I have only met him once, but I can say his skill at finding a perfect woman is impeccable!

Here is the lovely couple at the party



The wedding is going to be on the other side of the country so I can't make the wedding cake.  :(  ...of course I jumped at the chance to make a special cake for her engagement party when she came home for the holidays.



The cake is a vanilla almond sour cream and a triple chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry fillings. 
Iced with buttercream embossed with a scroll pattern and adorned with pearl dusted gumpaste snowflakes.

Love you Lauren! 

Congratulations Lauren and Jason!
