This is a 14/12/10 inch marble mud cake based on a Sweet Art Design, personalised to the couple. There were also 2 kitchen cakes chocolate mud 12 and 10 inches.
I had some timing issues with the cake and then on Tuesday realised that the 6th was a Friday not Saturday....! Eeeccckkkkk! Special thanks to Pam and Maria for keeping me sane, and telling me I could do it. But an extra special thanks to Sharon for being able to meet me there, help me carry the cakes in and set up and take some additional pictures as all mine turned out weird from the marquee lighting. As the marquee was right up against the back of the opera house, it wasn't possible to get a pic of the cake with the opera house in the background, but we did take some shots showing the harbour, the bridge and one from the outside showing the top of the opera house before we set up. Sharon was an absolute lifesaver on the day and I am forever indebted to her and Master Zen!
There are some really specific touches to the couple including their cat, dog and bird.
When we removed one of the copper domes, we discovered that mud wasps had been living in this particular steam engine at one point in time.

Dottie gets into her work. She digs and eats the earth away when looking for varmit. Her tongue couldn't even "roll" out properly since she had a huge gob of mud behind her front teeth.
The term mud volcano or mud dome is used to refer to formations created by geo-excreted liquids and gases, although there are several different processes which may cause such activity. Temperatures are much cooler than igneous processes. The largest structures are 10 km in diameter and reach 700 metres in height.
About 20% of released gases are methane, with much less carbon dioxide and nitrogen emitted. Ejected materials often are a slurry of fine solids suspended in liquids which may include water (frequently acidic or salty) and hydrocarbon fluids.
According to Wikipedia, there are only 4 places in the United States where you can see these.
