Yesterday we were able to surprise our friends with a really nice party celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. Miss Artist and Miss MusicBox decorated this beauuutiful cake for them. The Artist learned how to make frosting roses Thursday night! They also studied a website called Project Wedding for ideas... before spending 5 or 6 hours with the actual cake. (Intense Home Ec. credits accomplished on Friday! ...but not much algebra or geometry...)
I have so many good friends who were willing to help me get the food and the fellowship hall ready. They also made the place look lovely and festive for the occasion...
... and a relative brought this gorgeous floral arrangement. The tablecloth is hand-embroidered from Israel (and belongs to a friend whose daughter is in Haifa with her family).
Our pastor said a few jokes and read some verses from I Corinthians 13 ~ while the shocked couple regained their composure a bit. ;-) Mrs. H. cut the cake and fed a bite to her dear husband, just like she did on December 22, 1959. We had a good number of people able to attend, even some folks who were at their wedding!
It was a great day!
Cake recipe will be posted soon... It looked good ~ and tasted great! :-)
"For this God is our God for ever and ever:
he will be our guide even unto death."
Psalm 48:14
he will be our guide even unto death."
Psalm 48:14
what a wonderful celebration that must have been! :) And that cake looks DELICIOUS & beautiful!!!
