A Fall Wedding

Well, It has been a while since I last posted - it has been a very busy couple of weeks.  I moved, went to Florida where I did my first Ironman and then went to DisneyWorld.  So, I'm still settling in but also very excited because the new appliances arrived on Tuesday.  I can't wait to start using them!

This week I have lots of cupcakes and a couple cakes to make, so I'll be able to test out the new oven.  In the meantime, I've posted a wedding cake that I made last month, just before

the move.

The wedding was at Graydon Hall and it was amazing there.  This cake was alternating layers of vanilla and chocolate butter cake with swiss meringue buttercream.  The flowers were all handmade with sugarpaste.  I made extra flowers which came in handy because the cake was displayed in the centre of the room where all sides were visible.

Cake Decorator's Tip:  Ask where the cake will be displayed and if all sides will be on display.   And always make extra flowers, just in case!

GORGEOUS - is that purple ribbon or is that made out of fondant?

Hi Sam - The dark purple ribbon is made out of sugarpaste.
