Have your cake..

...and eat it too.

unless it looks way too cute on it's stand.

which ours just might.

while in rapid city, sd last weekend mom and i made a quick trick to hobby lobby.

i'm so glad we did. we found lots of fun treasures.

including these beauties.

i had originally wanted to do a plain tree stump under our cakes, but after thinking it through, the time we would have had to spend leveling it, and dissinfecting it, etc...would have added up.

so, when we saw these it was too good to be true. we just want a simple cake, and will use both of them. the small oval one will be just off center to the double tiered stand.

best thing about them--the price. originally they would have cost us $150, but we got them for $28.00 for both. I can't wait to see them in action, as the rustic, branchy look will fit our theme so perfectly!
