Hoping for an Indian Summer

What an awesome busy weekend! Two weddings, a birthday cake, a relaxing Saturday night and a beach day; can’t get much better!

Saturday I had two weddings to deliver, both cake/cupcake combo’s but completely different flavours!

Delivery #1 was in Burnaby, this wedding was “candy” themed, complete with M&M cake toppers, too cute! The large cupcakes were Tropical Sensation (Pineapple cupcakes with Coconut Frosting) and the mini cupcakes were chocolate, chocolate chip with Peanut Butter Frosting.  

Delivery #2 was in Maple Ridge, and included mini cupcakes and a large vanilla cake for guest to enjoy. I made Italian Meringue Buttercream for the first time, and it was DELICIOUS! I was super nervous to make it, I’ve read horror stories, but it turned out really well, with the help of my mom of course, having her their when I try a new recipe makes me feel better (cue sappiness….awwww). I used this recipe from Cake Journal and it worked wonderfully, just as I'd hoped! The step by step instructions are great, and the photos are a great help too!

After my delivery's it was time to decorate the princess Jasmine cake for Jada's Birthday. Let me tell you, finding Princess Jasmine figurines is NOT easy. Every other Disney princess can be found in every store, EXCEPT Jasmine!!! I searched everywhere and finally found some Aladdin figurines at the Disney store in Metrotown mall. Did you know they wish you a "magical day" when you leave?  

Saturday night I started reading The Help, I’m only on the 3^rd chapter, but I’m really enjoying it.

Sunday we went to the beach, the weather was amazing, and the water was so refreshing; I love Gold Creek!

M wanted to try on my shades!

And I can't resist posting a picture of Hank; he's just too cute!!! 

Congratulations to both couple's this weekend, I hope your day was amazing! And Happy Birthday Jada, I hope you enjoyed your vanilla cake with Chocolate frosting!
