Twenty Years Later

Twenty years ago my dear friend entrusted me to make her themed wedding cake.  This darling friend is a sea shell fanatic and her cake consisted four giant sea shell shaped cakes, with a fountain tower in the middle.  A bride and groom stood proudly in a open sea shell at the very top.  Adorning this cake were oodles of flowers done in her coral colours.  I learned today that at her 20th Anniversary she unveiled a handful of flowers that she'd kept from her very memorable day.  Though the flowers are a little worse for wear, it's amazing when you consider that these delicate sugar creation are not meant to last!  Perhaps she's sprinkled a little magic on them...
