Sweetest by far!

Today was a busy but special day.
First it was the second shower for my future sister in law, and second it was the dedication of my sweet niece Norah Jayne!
At our church instead of baby baptism, they dedicate babies to God, where parents promise to lead and guide their child towards a relationship with Jesus Christ. So today was that day for Norah. The service was at 6:30pm, so we had a dinner before hand. My mother in law txted me Friday saying that even though it was last minute, was there anyway I could make a cake for Sunday. I definitely wanted to make something special for her so I said yes. Even though that meant a limitation on what I could create. There was gonna be around 15 people so I was afraid to make a smaller cake just in case it wouldn't be enough, so I just make a 12'' one tiered cake. But I probably could have gotten away with a two tiered 9'' and 6'' cakes. This is the first cake were I would have to fill such a large surface. Again with limited time I tried to think of a few specific things that would make it special.
My husband wrote a beautiful lullaby as a gift for Norah, taken out of the scripture Psalm 121. So I wanted to include part of that on the cake, with also the meaning of her name. The day before I was asked to make the cake I finally got in my edible markers that I ordered, so I thought this would be a perfect time to try them out. So I made a sleeping baby (my first) and then used melted white chocolate to make a design at the top of the cake, and added some small fondant flowers. I then wanted to use the marker to write the scripture on the cake. I was so nervous that I was gonna screw it up that I made it too small, and while it didn't look bad, it wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. So after I had already dropped the cake off I went home and make a book and wrote the scripture on that, and covered up the other scripture the next day. I used the last verse of the passage which reads
"the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore."
And when I researched her name it meant Women of Honor, and shining light. So I just simply wrote Honor and Light.
So this cake was simple, but I tried a couple new things so I was pretty happy how it turned out.
