The clockwork owl *almost* had me -- but oh, I so heart that gorgeous dragon. *sigh*
(congratulations, Zach and Savannah -- may your life be a perfection confection)
I was the Honored Cake Artist who made the " Post-It-Note " Proposal Cake!! I delivered it to their door step just moments after Zach Proposed and I sealed the delivery with a Big Hug to them both!
What an Awesome way to Propose and I am SO Happy for them both...
CONGRATULATIONS ZACH & SAVANNAH

YAY for Zach and Savannah! WOOT for the Monty Python cake with the nasty not-rodent. ;)
YAY!! Congrats Savannah and Zach. Many years of happiness to you both.
Congrats Zach and Savannah! First time I ever cried when a complete stranger got engaged. Um, Zach, could ya maybe have a word or two with my boyfriend?
Ok. That is really, really sweet!!!
Ooooh, I was here first thing this morning before any comments went up and saw the proposal; I've been dying to get back here all day to find out if Savannah said yes. I'm thrilled for you both, felicitations and best wishes for a long and happy life together! Jen, John and Sharyn, well done!
What a nice way to end my day. Congratulations to the newly engaged.
Re: Monty Python comment... Rabbits are NOT rodents.
Congratulations Zach and Savannah! And good work, folks at Aprilla Cakes!
Lovely, lovely post today.
CONGRATS to the happy couple!!
And thank you oh-so-much for putting that song BACK in my head after I JUST got it out. :P
First of all-- PUG CAKE! PUGSPUGSPUGS YAY!

Having gotten that out of the way, I just wanted to add to the well wishes for Zach and Savannah. Any couple that knows and loves each other well enough to do this is destined for greatness. Bright blessings to you both.
Your Pal,

this was the most fanjabulous post - BRAVO cake wrecks - and then to finish with the Savannah and Zach! HUZZAH to them both! what a wonderful day!
Congrats Savannah and Zach!
Best Sunday Sweets ever! Gave me a happy buzz all day :)
Congratulations to Zach and Savannah!
Congrats, Zach and Savannah. Is that an African or a European Swallow?
Oh my gosh CRYING tears of J-O-Y!
Can't wait to see Savannah and Zach's wedding cake here. On a Sunday, of course.
Best proposal Zach! Welcome to the Family --Savannah's parents--
the owl cake looks like bubo from clash of the titans! i <3 it!
It's been wonderful this last day and a half to read all the comments here on CW. Iactually had no idea the site had comment threads, so this was a very pleasant surprise and a fantastic bonus that has made us both feel extra wonderful. A million thanks to John and Jen for helping me out with my plan and for all your patience, support, and advice, you've helped make us both very very happy. Hopefully one Sunday we'll have another cake to share with you all.
Zach
"CONGRADULATATIONS" ZACH & SAVANNAH (IN BIG LETTERS) !!!!
Followed the thread yesterday waiting for the response to the proposal and just re-read the threads today. Unfortunately, I'm having some kind of allergic reaction since my eyes are watering! (It's a guy thing.)
Congrats to Zach and Savannah. What a great proposal!
Congrats to Zach and Savannah! And a great big "yay!" to Jen and Jon for helping out :)
Didn't see anyone else comment that the steampunk owl being driven by a mouse is from a Threadless shirt called "mechanicowl." It's one of my favorites :)
Felicitations to Savannah and Zach...thank you for sharing your special moment with all of us.
I love that this was an official CW proposal..but I wasn't there another instance where the team helped someone send a special message with cake? Or did I dream that?
While I was looking, I did find this cute story about another successful proposal via cake that was *reported* here. :)
Awww! How adorable!
"Condgradulatiownas," UNDERNEATH THAT ZACK AND SAVANNAH!
Congrats to the happy couple! What a sweet way to propose. :)
Me (singing in head): Dragons that fly on their gossa-OOOOOOOH!
Congratulations, Zach & Savannah!
I think I have something in my eye...
Congratulations!
:-( I missed it! Congratulations Savannah and Zach!
The steampunk owl! <3
