I might be crazy

Today was a crazy wedding prep day. Friday is the big day, and while we're in good shape, there are still various things left to be done. I took advantage of Dan being away at his bachelor party to spend the day shopping, doing crafts, and baking the first half of the wedding cake.
I'm not convinced that making my own cake is completely sane, but I'm not going to pay hundreds of dollars for something that I can make for less than 50 bucks plus a few hours of work. I decided kind of last minute to do this, so I had to hope the recipe I found was tasty. Luckily, it is freeking delicious. It was a lot of work--I made it from scratch--but so worth it. I even used cake flour and sifted it (boring!), which I never bother to do. The recipe called for the egg whites and sugar to be made into meringue and mixed into the other ingredients, resulting in a sort of crusty outside and fluffy inside, reminiscent of angel food cake but a little more dense. The recipe made way more batter than it said--enough to make the whole cake and then some--but I only had one of each size pan, and I was worried about letting the batter sit while the cake baked and the pans cooled, so I now have an extra pan of cupcakes and an 8x8 pan of cake. Who's hungry??
I will make the second half of the cake later this week. I'm just hoping that between my mom, sister, and I we can decorate this bitch like I'm picturing it in my head.
I'm pretty sure I won't get any sleep tonight because besides Dan being gone (I can't sleep without him. I'm not used to being alone and I get all freaked out that someone is breaking in), my entire family is on their way here!! I'm picking up my brother, who I haven't seen in 11 years, from the train station tomorrow at noon, then my sister and her family arrive sometime tomorrow evening, and my parents will get here around 11pm. I don't think my entire family (including aunts, uncles, and cousins) has actually been together like this since...ever. Aaahhh!! I'm so excited!
