finished!
and it was raining heavily when we left for the party. i took the candles and the goddess off and we managed to get to the car - me in heels, which i only ever wear for parties, sinking in the mud and michael with an umbrella. he sat in the back holding the tower and i drove oh so carefully.
chrissy was thrilled and loved her goddess. i was so tired that i sank into the couch with a beer and didn't get up till it was time to go home!
if you would like the recipe let me know. i don't know what the protocol is on publishing from a magazine. i got the recipe from a donna hay wedding issue and made the small and medium sizes. i have some great tins which have really high sides so they are tall because of the tins, and probably the mixture which has almond meal in it so they are quite solid and hold their height.
today has been spring cleaning as michael's parents are coming to visit and i do want to pull the wool over their eyes and make out i am a domestic goddess. i sure don't look like one as i have terrible hayfever from all the dust! back to it - happy weekend!
the cake is just awesome what a lucky friend you have and the Goddess is gorgeous very beautiful!
