Default Wedding Cake

I just returned from Dallas where I attended my nephew's wedding. It was a very grand and upscale event at a large Westin resort in North Dallas. The food, service, orchestra and all was very impressive. But you should have seen the wedding cake and groom's cake! They were outstanding. The wedding cake was large, elegant and multi-tiered draped with beautiful fresh flowers. The groom's cake was large and chocolate, with a white choc/chocolate drawing of Okla and Texas (groom's from OKla, bride from TX), with a cascade of luscious chocolate-dipped strawberries.
But as elegant as they looked, so also they tasted, from the icing to the moist cake. They were served by the waitstaff with a glass of crisp champagne. Everyone loved it.
When I asked my nephew who did the cakes, he looked puzzled, and said, it was Panini Cakes that you recommended to us!
Well done, Jeff! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Mom, I mean Henry,
Well I knew I would get caught sooner or later. By now everyone should know, I'm all about self promotion.
The fact is, that I have been scamming the last six years. I don't even have directions to a bakery, much less direct one.
I do try to sell a few cakes a year, but my trailer kitchen is really too small and the microwave has been broken. The other problem is after getting the citation from the health department, they have not been able to get back on the property to reinspect since my Rottwieler has had pups and is very protective.
I have a picture/mouse-pad of a red velvet armadillo cake around here that maybe I can post.
