Camco Financial Announces Fourth Quarter And Full-Year 2012 Earnings
CAMBRIDGE, Ohio, Jan. 31, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Camco Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:CAFI), the bank holding company for Advantage Bank, today announced financial results for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2012. Net earnings increased to $2.8 million or $0.26 per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2012 from $0.9 million or $.12 per diluted share for the same period of the prior year. For the full-year 2012, net earnings were $4.2 million or $0.50 per diluted share compared with $0.2 million or $0.03 per diluted share for 2011.
Jim Huston, President and CEO, commented, "Our fourth quarter and full-year 2012 financial statements reflect solid achievements in key areas that further strengthened our balance sheet. In addition to our solid operating results, we successfully completed a $10.0 million rights and public offering in November, 2012. Those two factors enabled us to end the year 2012 with approximately $60.0 million in stockholders' equity. This represents Tier 1 equity of 8.42% of total assets compared to 6.56% at December 31, 2011. We continue to implement plans to improve our long-term performance through rigorous attention to net interest margin coupled with opportunities to increase noninterest income while also reducing noninterest expense. We exited 2012 stronger than we entered the year and anticipate attaining further progress in 2013."
Review of Financial PerformanceOverview: The following items summarize key achievements of the Company during the fourth quarter and fiscal year 2012: Fourth Quarter 2012
- The Company successfully raised $10.0 million of capital through a shareholder rights and public offering in November 2012, which resulted in the issuance of 5.7 million shares of common stock.
- Net interest margin decreased 0.04% from the linked quarter, principally due to lower yield on earning assets.
- Noninterest income increased $0.6 million from the linked quarter and $1.2 million from the fourth quarter 2011, driven by higher gain on sale of loans and higher loan fee income, along with improvement in the value of mortgage servicing rights, offset partially by decreased gain on sale of investments.
- Noninterest expense decreased $0.6 million compared to the same quarter ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to lower expenses related to real estate owned.
- Classified loans (which includes substandard, doubtful, and loss) at December 31, 2012 were $3.4 million below the linked quarter.
- A charge-off of $0.6 million for Other Real Estate Owned was recorded due to deterioration of real estate values.
- Core deposits (defined as checking, savings, and money market deposits) increased $39.1 million, or 13.8%, in 2012 compared to the same date of the prior year.
- Net interest margin decreased 0.25% to 3.41% for the full-year 2012 compared to a year ago, primarily due to lower yield on earning assets. Cost of funds for the full-year 2012 was 33 basis points below 2011.
- Classified loans at December 31, 2012 were $11.6 million below the same date of the prior year.
- Tier 1 equity at December 31, 2012 was 8.42% compared to 6.56% at December 31, 2011, an increase of 186 basis points.
- Noninterest income increased $1.5 million compared to a year ago, driven by higher gain on sale of loans and higher loan fee income, along with improvement in the value of mortgage servicing rights, offset partially by decreased gain on sale of investments.
- Noninterest expense decreased $1.7 million compared to 2011, primarily due to lower expenses related to real estate owned.

FaceSnap free until Friday, has Galileo support for hands-free selfies
Now here's a photography app with a difference: FaceSnap (free until May 9, US$0.99 after) is probably the best way I've seen so far to take photos of yourself or others by automatically taking snapshots when it detects a face in front of one of the cameras on your iPhone or other iOS device. Developer Applologics UG has made the app free for the rest of this week to celebrate the release of the app and build some buzz.
There's a special feature in FaceSnap for anyone who has a Motrr Galileo robotic motion platform. The app works with the device in several of its modes to automatically search for faces, then snap a photo when it sees one. This can be useful for room surveillance or just grabbing images of friends at a party. Instead of running around with iPhone in hand taking photos, the Galileo/FaceSnap combo does it all automatically for you. Here's some video of the Galileo and FaceSnap in action earlier today -- sorry for the tint to the video, but the DSLR I usually use to shoot my video is currently unavailable:
So that's FaceSnap! Don't delay -- go out and download the app while it's still free, as you'll love this new way of shooting face photos.

text: 20 October 2011 Defenders of Wildlife Welcomes Interior Department's New Vision for National Wildlife Refuges Posted by: James Navarro | 2 comments | Share: BREAKING: Interior Secretary Ken Salazar sets a course for conservation in new vision for the National Wildlife Refuge System. Jamie Rappaport Clark, Defenders of Wildlife's president and former director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, welcomed the Obama administration's effort to frame a new conservation vision for the more than 150 million acres that make up America's National Wildlife Refuge System. The new vision document released by the Interior Department today gives refuge officials a roadmap for managing these special conservation lands to address emerging threats and challenges such as climate change that weren't considered in 1999 when the last refuge system vision statement was put in place. The following is a statement from Defenders' President, Jamie Rappaport Clark: "The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's updated vision for the National Wildlife Refuge System will help ensure that it continues to anchor the conservation of our nation's wildlife heritage in the face of the rapid transformations in the environment and in our society. Climate change was not a central concern in wildlife management when the last refuge vision statement was developed in the late 1990's, but it certainly is a major concern today. This new vision reflects that shift and charts a course for enhanced wildlife conservation in the 21st century. "While the vision lights a way forward, the success of the document will be measured each day in the field, wildlife refuge by wildlife refuge. It's up to all of us — conservation groups, ranchers, farmers, hunters, anglers, communities, and federal and state land management agencies — to ensure that this vision becomes a reality. It's up to all of us — conservation groups, ranchers, farmers, hunters, anglers, communities, and federal and state land management agencies — to ensure that this vision becomes a reality. "This means working together to add new lands to the refuge system that promote the conservation of a wide diversity of wildlife; to ensure that refuges have the financial resources needed to protect wildlife and provide a high-quality experience for all Americans; and to adapt and modify the way we manage refuges to protect wildlife and habitat from the impacts of climate change." 2 Responses to "Defenders of Wildlife Welcomes Interior Department's New Vision for National Wildlife Refuges" Edie Cleveland October 20th, 2011 Now we'll get to see how much force the Feds are prepared to put behind this. Mr. Salazar has a long way to go in my book – when it comes to conservation policy & action, I'm from Missouri, even if I live in New Jersey. Reply richard downing October 20th, 2011 please look after your wolves, we in england have lost ours and in doing so have missed out, they are such an iconic animal you keep your wild wolves and in return the rest of the world will want to come and see how you have managed to keep yours, they will keep people in work and generate a lot of money in tourist dollars and you will still have this lovely animal running wild in your country please dont ever try to get rid of them they are to precious they mean so much to so many Reply Post Your Comment Click here to cancel reply.

ATLANTA, Nov. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Corporate travel managers again rated Delta Air Lines No. 1 in this year's Business Travel News Annual Airline Survey. The airline ranked first among all carriers in key categories including: Value of Relationships with Account Managers and Sales Representatives; Distribution Channels; Complaint/Problem Resolution; Quality of Customer Service; and Networks, Airline Partnerships and Frequencies.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090202/DELTALOGO )
Delta also earned the distinction of being the first carrier in the survey's 15-year history to be rated No. 1 in all 10 categories.
"This award reflects how our most important corporate customers continue to embrace the $3 billion we are investing to improve our flying experience while highlighting the hard work and service commitment of our 80,000 employees," said Ed Bastian, Delta's president. "Recognition from our most frequent customers is the most important recognition we can receive. To finish first a second year in a row and in all 10 service delivery categories is a great acknowledgement of our efforts to build a better airline.""We offer our congratulations to Delta Air Lines for their strong showing across all the categories we measured in our latest Annual Airline Survey. Their efforts over the past several years are clearly resonating within the business travel community," said Tim Reid, vp-Group publisher, The BTN Group. Through 2013, Delta is investing more than $3 billion in airport facilities, global products, services and technology to enhance the customer experience in the air and on the ground. Customer improvements include a $1.2 billion facility renovation at New York-JFK's Terminal 4, a $160 million project to modernize LaGuardia's Terminals C and D, as well as updating the Los Angeles airport jet bridges, baggage claim hall and ticket counter areas and other facility improvements in Salt Lake City and Seattle.

text: I just re-watched the game and paid close attention to our O-line vs. Kentucky's D-line. I was watching the highly-touted Za'Darius Smith in particular and noticed that he was completely ineffective in that game. He got manhandled all night long by an "OK team" full of players "smaller than people we already played." He was either neutralized or shoved around on most of our offensive plays. A couple of times he got penetration. In those instances, he over-pursued and was left chasing after Murphy and Jones after they picked up huge yardage. For much of the night, he was taking plays off. If you watch, you'll see him on a lot of plays just standing around while things are still unfolding. This dude would not crack our two-deep. He has no consistent motor. He is yet another example of why opposing football players should think before they speak. http://kentuckysportsradio.com/foot...rs/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

Posted by: old_user on Jan-13-13 3:04 PM (EST)
For fishing what do you think is be better? Side mounted motor or stern mounted motor?
I have read that some people say a side mounted motor can get a little tricky/harry if your fishing in fast current and debris and need to make a quick maneuver to get out of your current situation.
I have also read that most people do like the motor mounted behind them because its complicated to control.
I have only dealt with two square stern canoes one was a cranberry creek model that was still double ended and had a raised square stern. The other was the a old town discovery sport.
I liked the cranberry creek canoe. Wish it was longer than 12'9" but I agree that it was a some what of a PITA to operate the motor behind me like that specially if i was trying to troll with it. It just wasn't set up right for that. Two long of a reach back to the motor.
The old town was my uncles. I like fishing out this canoe way more then mine. the motor controls were way easier operate than my cranberry creek. seat was just better placement for it. it seemed more stable which I doubt that it actually was. It was just that first initial stability that made it seem like that. Im sure once you were starting to go over there was no saving it.
The whole reason I started this thread is I have never operated a side mounted trolling motor and I think I have only ever seen one. It got me thinking if a square stern canoe is really worth it or not?
I will mainly be using this canoe in rivers close to home. No rapids, some downed trees to get around, and dams to fish. This canoe will also be used on smaller to medium sized lakes. I will almost always be using a motor. I have decided on gas or electric yet. I want to be able to troll which I had a hard time to do so with my last gas motor.
The thing that really has me questioning getting another square stern canoe is I would really like to do a yearly trip into the BWCA and Im starting to wondering if buying a good paddling/fishing canoe would be the ticket and then just buy a side mount for a trolling motor?
So whats your opinion on the subject? Should I get a good paddling canoe and then go for the side motor mount? Should I just go with a square stern again?
At first I am going to look for a good used canoe. A place in Minnesota has all kinds used and I am going to see what he has in stock and then post back here and see what people think of the options he has.
My requirements this time is I want a canoe at least 15 feet or longer. I also don't want to pay over 1200-1500 new.

My suggestion

If you intend to use a motor most of the time, get a square stern. This has nothing to do with how simple it is to operate, because either way you'll get used to it quickly enough. It has to do with a side mount being another thing to deal with and get line tangled on.
hard choice
Posted by: old_user on Jan-14-13 3:22 PM (EST)
Thanks for the information big D. I kind of thought this is what the answer was going to be. Do any square stern canoes still paddle decent? Like I said I am going to look used first, but if I end up buying new my options will really open up.
Depends on "decent"
Posted by: Big_D on Jan-15-13 8:35 AM (EST)
Decent for one fellow is trash for another. I don't think there's any high performance square end canoes, but I'm real pleased with my Esquif Cargo. Smaller versions exist. I think it paddles and rows just fine. Now mine is very large, so it isn't going to respond to gentle strokes, but it is readily controlled and stays people side up with a minimum of effort. But if you're used to a Dagger whitewater solo canoe, you're going to hate it.
Maybe instead of paddle, think "row".
Posted by: Steve_in_Idaho on Jan-19-13 12:14 AM (EST)
Probably a more efficient way to propel the wider square-back canoes. Or maybe stand and pole it.
Agree on both counts
Posted by: Big_D on Jan-19-13 12:35 PM (EST)
Rowing a square stern is easier than paddling. Ballast makes all the difference with a motor or engine on it. Steve nailed it.
rear mount for a double end canoe
Posted by: Wolfscout on Feb-04-13 5:47 AM (EST)
I've got a side mount on my Old town saranac 146 that I built from a video on youtube. I have an idea for making that mount into a rear mount. What I'm planning on using is all 2x6 materials screwed to the sidemount. I don't see why it wouldn't work. it's partially the same one I use on my kayak when I go inshore fishing.
Square stern
Posted by: briansnat on Feb-09-13 10:54 PM (EST)
I never got the point of a square stern canoe. If I want to paddle a square stern canoe sucks. If I want to use a motor I'm better off with a small jon boat. Nearly as light and much better for fishing than a canoe.
square or pointed
Posted by: old_user on Feb-13-13 2:40 PM (EST)
down here in the south we use whats called a flat back pirouge and keeping the bottom beam in the water is everything.Seating is also a big factor so the older i get the lower the seats seem to get.I have been riding and fishing out of small boats of all types since around 1964 and now it's getting hard to do but I will not give it up.If you agree with this I have been working on a new idea,please go to my website {daltonboats.com} and look at my idea for this problem I call it a swamp rat 1036 and I would love some feed back,THANKS.
How I solved this problem.

double end or square stern
Posted by: sportpal on Apr-07-13 9:02 PM (EST)
I was having the same problem. Double end or square back. I opted for the sportpal 14 foot double end for several reasons. If you get turned around in a river no big deal both ends are the same just turn around.And my canoe weights only 58 pounds very easy to handle alone. Mine came with factory motor mount that works great. It's within easy reach and this canoe is very stable.And they do not cost an arm and a leg. This canoe will be my primary duck boat.
Big_D has good advice

If you plan to be using a motor a lot, get a square stern.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Award-winning Santa Monica, Calif.–based Pugh + Scarpa Architects will no longer practice with its two named partners at the helm. Gwynne Pugh has started Gwynne Pugh Urban Studio, while Lawrence Scarpa and Angela Brooks will continue to operate as Pugh + Scarpa for the remainder of the year. That firm will change its name to Brooks + Scarpa in 2011.
In an interview, Gwynne Pugh notes that he's interested in exploring urban design in more detail than he was able to at Pugh + Scarpa—although he'll continue to work with some of the same clients on this aspect of their projects. "I will still have a traditional architecture practice, although urban design will be the focus," Pugh says. On his first day of business on his own, Pugh is answering his own telephone, but he plans to collaborate with people who used to work at Pugh + Scarpa.
"Larry felt he wanted to go in his own direction," Pugh notes. Scarpa amicably responds, "This is not unusual. It's a natural outgrowth of working together for 22 years, and, artistically, I'm ready for other things."
Gwynne Pugh and Lawrence Scarpa led Pugh + Scarpa since its founding in 1991, garnering more than 50 local, state, and national AIA awards, including both the 2010 AIA National Firm Award and the 2010 AIA California Firm Award.

The Importance of Birds (Birds to his mates) is an eccentric Billionaire much in the league of Richard Branson . On the 17th of May 2010 Birds decided to attend the Chalk Hotel Bachelor Auction. The auction particulars was that the highest bidder would win the services of a "Bachelor" for a night. The winner could do what ever they desired with him. Not that Birds is gay, he just wanted to see the competition out there.

My First LoveI was only 12 and he was already 21. We had a nine year age gap that was why my mother forbid me to even talk to him because she knew I had a crush on him. But being the disobedient child I am, I continued our conversations. We became best friends and fell in love w/ each other. Well, I thought we did. But I was wrong. I was only his playtime. He had me wrapped around his finger all the time. I was so naive not to notice. I was so fooled by everything he did. Now, I'm afraid of falling in love because of him. Lesson learned. Never hurry when it comes to love. It'll come to you in the right time.

If you have a high fever you should see your doctor. It could be bacteria
the antibiotic they gave you may not be the correct one. If you have no fever then it may be just too much food too soon. Hope this helps.

For the other 10,000 things the fish could ingest in such an area as well, it's just not a good idea.

, a parasitic infection, irritable bowel syndrome, or more seriously Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis). As we are are not doctors, we cannot identify the cause over the internet, neither can they, and all we can suggest is that you really need to see a doctor for blood and stool tests to determine the cause and get appropriate medication. Meantime, you should keep hydrated, drink lots of fluids and stay off solids until you get to a doctor.

Hi Everyone. This is my first post. I started having problems about 5 years ago. It was occasional problems such as mild sinus pain/pressure and headache with mild eye strain. Each year it has gotten worse. Over the course of the past 5 years I have seen multiple doctors across different specialites: Ears, Nose & Throat, Neurologist, Allergist, and my Intern. I have had MRI's and CT scans. This year has been the worst so far. I have already gotten 2 sinus infections.

U.S. Ethylene Hits Nine-Month Low as Contracts Fall Again
8:40 AM MDT | July 23, 2010 | Lindsey Bewley
North American spot ethylene prices hit a nine-month low in July, and are down more than 60% from second-quarter highs. Spot ethylene, which peaked at about 72 cts-74 cts/lb in April, dipped as low as 28 cts/lb in mid-July, about 7 cts/lb lower than June spot averages. Ample supply and declining feedstock costs have pushed selling prices lower since May, market players say. Ethane fell to 46 cts/gal in mid-July, down from an average of 52 cts/gal in June, on continued oversupply and lengthening ethylene supplies. Contract...

Diabetes Care Challenges Offer Hospitals Strategic Opportunities
Motivation: It's not easy to get patients to make lifestyle changes, such as increasing physical activity—what Beatty calls a "limiting step." To help, OSU provides patients with pedometers and instructs them on how to track their daily steps. "This gives us and the patient an objective number of how active the patient is and allows us to make measurable goals to improve activity," she says. "This also helps patients to see that when we discuss physical activity, any activity is good; it doesn't have to be lifting weights or jogging 3 miles a day."
Diet and nutrition: OSU educates patients about basic nutrients, especially carbohydrates. Diet and nutrition are among the "hardest components to overcome" for patients trying to control their diabetes. Among other things, the team teaches portion control and how to make healthier choices in meals, and provides cookbooks designed for diabetes patients.
Follow-up care: Proper follow-up is among the measures physicians and hospitals can take that have the "biggest impact on adherence," Beatty says. "In the office, many patients commit to making a change, but once they are home, it is easy to say, 'I'll start my exercise tomorrow.' " At OSU, the physician office contacts patients between visits and "holds them accountable to making a lifestyle change," Beatty says. "A call coming from a physician's office carries a lot of weight to patients in showing that we care and we want to help them get better. There are some patients we call every week to keep them on the path toward better health."
Success key No. 4: Text reminders
For many people, getting text messages consistently from someone may be annoying. But Sanjay Arora, MD, of the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, found something else among diabetic patients treated in emergency departments. Not only did the patients like receiving the daily text messages he and his team sent as reminders to improve their control of diabetes and medication adherence but the patients also did a better job of improving their health.
Arora is an emergency department physician at the 600-bed Los Angeles County Hospital of the University of Southern California Medical Center. Patients overwhelmingly liked the messages, in part because they felt the physicians cared about them, Arora says.
The messages were simple and to the point: "Having diabetes can lead to a heart attack or stroke—but it doesn't have to" and "Eat more fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains, and less salt and fat."
The patients who received text messages for six months improved enough to reduce their dependence on the emergency department in their care for diabetes, Arora says. He and colleagues wrote about their findings in the Annals of Emergency Medicine. The study was dubbed "TExT-MED."
Text messaging is effective, low-cost, and widely available for patients who often see themselves as having no other source of medical care than the ED, he says.
The study focused on adult patients with poorly controlled diabetes who visited an urban, public emergency department. They received two daily text messages for 6 months. For patients who received text messages, blood glucose levels decreased by 1.05%, compared with a decrease of 0.60% in the control group. Self-reported medication adherence improved from 4.5 to 5.4 on an 8-point scale, compared with a net decrease of 0.1 points in the control group.
"The study population has very little access to regular primary care and very limited time, and they weren't getting the education they needed or the personalized level of care," he says.
The proportion of patients who visited the emergency department over the 6-month period was lower among the text-messaging group, 35.9%, than in the control group, 51.6%.
Arora says if someone sent him a text message two or three times a day, "I would think, 'Enough.' " But the patients felt different. To them, it "wasn't annoying; it felt like the first time a doctor really cared for them. That was the most surprising for me."

This is a comprehensive review of ways that healthcare providers can improve outcomes for patients with diabetes. I would add that hospital should consider how to impact large numbers of people in an affordable way using HIT. Large scale population health approaches which are successful at an affordable cost are emerging. These approaches help individuals take control of their unhealthy behaviors so they are able to manage their risks and their chronic conditions. The challenge is to: Provide enough consumer engagement in an effective and targeted long-term intervention; Provide support at a cost that delivers a good and early return on investment without providing an undue burden on staff or on the individual. The most successful approaches are longitudinal interventions based on what is known to impact behaviors and self-management skills of the targeted population. Successful interventions are long-term, individualized, rich in content, and help participants set goals, monitor their performance, receive and provide social support, and find needed help from peers and coaches. Modern interventions capitalize on the power of information technology to provide cost effective interventions to large numbers of individuals by automating some or most of a patient's experiences to lower the cost, while maintaining fidelity to the proven approach. At DPS Health, we help our partners create a customized recruitment campaign and support service, which when coupled with our year-long, online transformation of the NIH's Diabetes Prevention Program, show clinically significant weight loss and positive ROI.

It is a heap of money (at least to me). I'm saving nearly 60% by doing it myself....plus I love the idea of making my own cake (and I'll have a few "helpers" that day so that's good). All the women in my area that are married said this bakery was the cheapest.
It's a small wedding and everything is on the very informal side so I also know it doesn't have to look perfect. PLUS I like the idea of being at the reception site so early as it's less than a mile from the ceremony site, so less chance of me being late to my own wedding
Thank you! :) I'm super excited about it!
Thanks again for all your input!! I'm really excited about it!
Here's a compromise to keep your family calm.
Make 3 lower tiers out of the dummies (regardless of size) so you can completely finish decorating a week or even a month beforehand. Put a sharp dowel through all 3 tiers to make sure it gets to the reception safely.
Make the top tier, and a kitchen cake, of any cake combo you like. Cut the top tier for pictures and serve the kitchen cake. A 9 x 13 inch, plain iced with a simple border, will serve your guests generously. If you have an 11 x 15 pan, even better for the kitchen cake. Make it 4 layers by baking thin layers on parchment liners, use the parchment as an insurance against breaking larger thin layers.
Good luck--I'm telling you that keeping the family calm is the hardest part from my own experience.

And I did my own wedding cake. 4 tier, all cake. 6,8,10,12, with over 200 small buttercream roses. Did my own flowers, made a flower girl dress, had some friends cater the sides and bought fried chicken from Walmart! Spend about $2000 for 120 people, and went to Gatlinburg for 4 days and 3 nights.

amen! And if you paid me to do it, then you would find it would cost you at least 400% more than doing it yourself.

agree agree agree...the cost of ingredients is the smallest component if cake price! Remember you are paying someone's wage/talent, their overheads, the insurance etc etc.
You need to ask yourself what YOUR time is worth. If its worthwhile to make it yourself, then go for it
All the best for your wedding!

Anyway, I like the idea of doing sheet cakes and having the fake cake to display. I did a dessert buffet for my own wedding so I was able to freeze a lot of things, but to put a full wedding cake together right before your wedding is going to be a time-suck for you. Athough it's a good way to get rid of relatives who are visiting the night before, you can just tell them that you need to finish the cake!
Oh, I know and I know that it would look AMAZING for them to do it...as they have so much talent and can probably make a wedding cake in their sleep by now. But to me, some of the pricing was a bit too high. For example, to have each layer in fondant was ~$250.
It's your wedding, so long as YOU remember it as being the happiest day of YOUR life that's all that matters, and keeping it within your budget is part of that. I had the wedding my family wanted, and then spent 6 years paying for it, although I did get a decent husband out of it!
hahaha, well at least you got a decent hubby out of it
Agreed, and I think that we're both going to enjoy the fact that we can actually socialize with everyone at the wedding and be stress free.
You don't happen to live in Richmond Va, do you? There's a bakery here that tells people that the bottom tier has to be pound cake or the cake will collapse, and they make you sign a waiver if you want anything else on the bottom tier. It's 100% false.

No, I don't...but now I know it's not that uncommon of a spec from bakers :)
Well the wedding is at 5pm and I can be at the reception restaurant (that is less than a mile from our ceremony site) at 2:30pm, which I plan to do. Than I have my mom, sister and a couple friends to help me, so I think we're good :) I'm using the "KISS" principle, so there won't be too much decorating that I have to do on site (mainly it can all be done before that time).
Agreed about the relative aspect :) I think my future husband's family was planning on staying with us before the wedding...but now they are staying with his sister to allow me "room" SWEET!!! :D
I cannot tell you guys how many times I had a question about my cake and came here and got fantastic answers. I only had to post this one question, though...all other questions I had were already answered on this site. I don't know WHAT I would have done without this fantastic website! So thank you to the great contributors you have NO idea how much help you guys were!!!
Our wedding was yesterday and I baked the cakes ahead of time (I cut a corner and used boxed cakes instead of making them from scatch...something I NEVER do) and took two days off of work to decorate the cake. Each tier was four layers, alternating french vanilla and devil's food. Then covered in butter cream and then finally marshmallow fondant (which I think tastes pretty good).
The car ride over was nerve racking, but the cakes made it with only one slight issue: one tier slid against the box and caused a slight crease in the fondant...most of it I corrected with my fondant smoother and simply made that the back.
The biggest pain was the bottom tier, my 16"x4" cake dummy. I didn't have the counter space to roll out fondant large enough AND our table has creases in it every four inches or so, so I was afraid to use that surface. I ended up with some of the back not being covered with fondant at all....so I had to cruelly attach some spare fondant to the back (I felt like I was working on a Frankenstein monster)...luckily that was the back that no one saw anyways. :)
The quilting was pretty easy, after I got my quilting tools. I couldn't quite pull off the quilting pattern on the bottom tier as it was a dummy, so it just looked more like a pattern.
Here is my cake. I know it isn't perfect, but I was proud of myself because it looked nice and everyone knows that I loved to bake and how important it was that our cake was made by me :) The is the first (and probably last :)) huge cake I've done..
I also made mini wedding cakes (via a great pan) as take home favors :) I used poured fondant for those.
The whole day was perfect, we only had 26 guests, the weather was absolutely perfect and everyone had a great time. The food and reception site was amazing, which is funny because this place wasn't our first choice. Our original reception site closed down three weeks before our wedding, so this was actually the replacement and it was MUCH MUCH better...so everything happens for a reason.
I would say, if anyone else sees this that is thinking of doing their own cake, make sure you have PLENTY enough time and ensure you keep telling yourself it doesn't have to be perfect AND people are going to eat it anyways :)
jackie, what an awesome post!! how wonderful for you
i'm reading along and your cake is just fabulous and then i scroll down & i'm like whoa mini cakes too--dang!
that's such a tremendous undertaking--wow you did a great job!
Thanks for sharing your story and pictures
what a sweet way to start your married life together
congratulations and best wishes forever

Can I ask how much cake was left over, I mean the cake is enormous for 26 guests isn't it?

i don't know how much was leftover but the bottom was a dummy, they're keeping the top tier and they planned on having lots of leftover for all the different families
Great job. And now you know why there is a huge difference between making it yourself and paying someone else to do it. Would you have taken 2 days off work to do it for the cost of materials for anyone else? I obviously don't know how much you make, but losing 2 days pay is nothing to sneeze at. You would've have only paid me 1 days pay, plus overhead (about $20) materials (about $50) plus delivery.
But I understand why professionals charge as much as they (always have), but $650 was the quote I got and that didn't include delivery. I know it would have looked much better than mine, but I really wanted to do this myself and everyone liked it as a personal touch and it was a great conversation starter
