Giving it all away - yay!


Finally, I've sent out the extra money raised that's going towards building Well #2 with Well Wishers!!! Meanwhile, I hope Well #1 is being taken care of by Charity:Water since the campaign closed at the end of September. Also, the donations page and final sum donated to both organisations has been updated. 



According to my excel spreadsheet, the actual amount raised from the three month campaign was AU$6,679.90 + US$1,722 (plus $340 people have given me for ingredients and labour!). Unfortunately, $107.28 went towards covering bank transaction fees and approximately $150 was lost in the sh!tty exchange rates at the time :( and that's why I've decided to put the extra money raised with Well Wishers. I've given it all away now, off my chest, moving on!!!

So, I managed to pull through the last challenge of making my first wedding cake and using fondant....
It was a fun process although daunting as I was basically just making things up as I go and having lack of time to do anything (working during the day!) I was lucky nothing went drastically wrong the night before the big day.

Here's a spoiler process photo compilation taken throughout the night... zzzzzz


I'm waiting for the professional shots from the wedding to do a proper post of the cake/wedding.

I don't remember much of the actual wedding, just have a few photos to prove I was there as I was basically a sleepy zombie having done an all nighter. I realised I'm seriously getting too old to go 30 hours without sleep, my body is still recovering from that.

Thank you Jesse and Annie for letting me be a part of your special day!
