something borrowed, something blue....

Catching up on blog posts and today I am sharing a few pictures from my goddaughters wedding in early October.
Along with being a guest of the wedding I was also asked to make the wedding cake. My goddaughter K had a baby in May and even though they had always planned on an October wedding, they scaled back the celebrations and had a small family wedding, with lots of the decorations and gifts part of the wedding celebrations and contribution to a small holiday.
The day was lovely but I think it was the only day in October where it rained most of the day, it didn't damper the spirits of the bride and groom, who had a lovely day.
This was the first time that I had seen some of my family for sometime, and a chance for me to buy a new outfit. Ditching the usual black I went all out in a gorgeous pink dress from DVF, navy jacket from Jasper Conran, blue clutch from Victoria Beckham, pink heels and a cute fascinator.
The cake's design revolved around a 'bird cage' theme as these were what were being used on the tables as floral pieces.
With a pale blue colour scheme I made sugar roses to decorate with along with leaves and a few feathers and blossom.
The wedding was a civil service followed by a blessing from a curate. Followed by a fantastic sit down wedding breakfast of sausage and mash and profiteroles.
The brides uncle took over the entertainment for the evening which was a fun filled family fuelled party, complete with cake cutting, a game of Mr & Mrs and lots and lots of dancing to some great wedding party tunes.
I danced my little feet off and managed to keep my heels on all night, however did loose the fascinator. Lots of love and fun had my all and the baby was the perfect little guest, she boogied and had lots of cuddles with all of us.

Today I've been mostly............


making this!.........
a friend of a friend is getting married tomorrow, so I've finished off her wedding cake today... bottom tier fruit, middle tier chocolate sponge, top tier vanilla sponge. The design is very simple but quite effective I think. The next challenge is to get it there in one piece!

I'm delivering it early morning and then heading over to Twickenham for the opening game of the Rugby premiership which is the double header. Sarries are playing London Irish and Quinns have got Wasps.... The whole afternoon of watching rugby thighs... I don't even care if it rains!

have a great evening ... Tudors for me tonight..... Tx

wedding two...


In amongst the fog of grief i have had my friend Lucy's wedding cake to finish. Lucy and Chris (bride & groom) flew off to Mexico in the middle of march with family & friends to get married on April 2nd. Due to various reasons I made the decision last year not to go to Mexico, in hindsight i am so glad that I did as circumstances changed drastically. Part of the wedding ceremony in mexico involved releasing butterflies, so this became a common thread throughout the wedding theme. On Easter Saturday Lucy & Chris held a blessing and reception for friends & family that couldn't go to mexico. I didn't attend the day as my social skills are not too good at the moment, also the day is a celebration for Lucy & Chris and I didn't want to distract from that. Wishing you both a lifetime of health, happiness, love & luck.

wedding one.....


This was the wedding that took place the day before my gramps passed away.
The list of "to do's" for this wedding was long!...fortunately it all came together for the day. Ellie & Rob (bride & groom) choose Teal as their colour 18months ago. This was followed by some head scratching as the colour is quite hard to find. Fortunately this season's colour within fashion etc has been Teal so I was able to pick up papers etc easier on the high street. to refresh this was my list of 'to do's';
Y 4 tier wedding cake
Y 100 cupcakes,
Y 120 favours
