My Secret

A Wedding Sheet Cake?

Our Penguin Sheet Wedding Cake

Our Penguin Sheet Wedding Cake

The Story Behind The Penguin Wedding Sheet Cake



I chose to share this cake with the world even though it is NOT my best work! In fact it's pretty bad, at least for a would be professional cake decorator.

But it did have a lot of romance and meaning behind it.
We fell in love fast and hard, in fact we were engaged within 2 months of meeting at a friends wedding, and married within 10 months.

He lived on the west coast, I lived on the east.
We traveled back and forth to see each other every couple of months and that was the extent of our dating, besides getting to know each other over the phone.

On one of Scott's visits to the east, we stayed in a quant little inn in Kent CT. It was there that we found our first penguin.

The penguin became our sign of love for each other from that day forward. (I know it's silly!)

Our wedding was low budget. Having one wedding cake under my belt at this point I decided to make my own.

The wedding was very small with only very close family and friends. Due to the fact that I was crunched for time and not in my familiar kitchen, I decided not to try to get too fancy with it. Hence the sheet cake.

Oh yes and we lived happily ever after. Our 25th anniversary is coming up in May of 2010.

And now you know the story behind the penguin wedding sheet cake.

How I did it!


The cake was delicious, because it was my best carrot cake recipe that I still use to this day.

It was filled with my carrot cake icing recipe frosted with my favorite wedding cake frosting a.k.a. buttercream, made with real butter.

I used the Wilton cake decorating instructions and the Wilton bowling pin pans to form the penguins.

I have a page on my site called cheap wedding cakes, where you can get more money saving ideas and a tutorial page on how to make your own wedding cake. Not a sheet cake, but a real three tiered simple wedding cake.

Happy cake decorating!!! I hope to see some of your creations soon.

Donkey's Are Awesome!
by: Lorelie

Thank you yaniangelicstyle,

I love your story. The fact that you both saw these donkey's that no one else saw is hilarious! When your in love everything seems to have more meaning doesn't it?

Badgers was a trademark for my sister in law and her husband. Don't know where that came from but maybe every couple has an animal representative.

READERS: If you get to this post and you have a special animal mascot, we would love to hear about it.

Thanks yaniangelisticstyle for visiting my website and sharing that. See you on youtube.

Nothing silly 'bout the penguins..
by: yaniangelicstyle

" Love your story, its a love story full of life, love, humour, hard work & so much more. I specially like the part with the penguins becoming sort of a trademark for you & your husband. Wanna hear something hilarious, well this reminds me of my sweetie & I. We like donkes...lol Early on our first months of dating, for some reason while driving out in the country side we would run into donkeys, no one else saw them but us. People started to notice our trademark & now we have a collection of Donkey stuff...LOL. I love your story. The cake was cute with the penguins all doll~up in their wedding attire."
