Hello all!
My apologies for not blogging last week, I just wasn’t happy with what I had written L But that just means I have extra cakes to share with you, last week AND this week!
I’ll start with last week:
My first delivery was to the Italian Cultural Centre where I delivered a “fake” cake for the Bride and Groom. It was a large wedding, or at least I thought it was, the staff member at the Italian Cultural centre told me it was small – medium. The Bride and Groom just wanted a small slice of cake in the back to cut for photos, and the rest was decorated Styrofoam. I used Duff’s Black fondant for the first time, because I find it hard to achieve a good black fondant on my own, and I was really happy with it, tasted great (even though it wasn’t being eaten) and had a nice satiny finish.
Then I headed back home to load up cupcakes for Tracy and Brian’s wedding at 18 Pastures in Mission, what a cute little location, I had never been, but it’s tucked away in the trees, with a great outdoor ceremony location and reception hall. I was having trouble getting a good photo of the entire stand because all the light was coming from behind the cupcakes, but I did my best; still so much to learn about photography.
Now on to this week:
My weekend started with a Hawaiian themed engagement party. I made hand painted fondant surfboards and fondant hibiscus, chocolate shells, and used graham cracker crumbs for sand to make this cake. I also made cupcakes to go alongside the cake, but forgot to get a picture :S
My first wedding delivery of the day was for Linda and Justin’s wedding, the location was AMAZING!! I pulled up to the farm and couldn’t believe my eyes, acres of field with mountains in the backdrop; this farm just outside of Hatzic was beautiful! I stalk follow Erin Gilmore’s blog, and when I checked my twitter feed Sunday morning I saw her sneak peak and to my surprise it was of Linda and Justin’s wedding, I took a look through the photos, as I do every time she posts a wedding, and I was pretty excited to see she got some shots of my cupcakes and the couple doing the cutting of the cake. Check out the blog here, her work is amazing!
Saturday was a gorgeous day, but it was a hot one! I refuse to complain about the heat because there hasn’t been much of it this summer, so as I drove back to Maple Ridge from Hatzic , I gladly accepted the fact that I would end up with a driver’s arm tan, lol. I headed to Kelly and Darryl’s house to drop off their cake and cupcake for their intimate wedding at their home. Kelly had a table all set up inside for the cupcakes because of the heat, Kelly looked beautiful with her hair and make up all done waiting to get into her dress and the yard looked so pretty with pink paper lanterns in the trees. Check out their cake topper, soo cute!
I wanted to share a blogger’s unite fundraiser through Global Living that Jackie from LaCasaDeSweets has organized to raise money to end starvation in the horn of Africa. Here is Jackie’s blog and donations can be made here.
I hope you all had a great weekend, I’ve included a few photos from the lake Sunday, me and my cousin decided to catch some rays, even if it was a little cloudy, it was still super warm J Photos are from my instagram app, i'm a bit obsessed with it, but people have mixed reviews, to each their own!
What do you think of this week and last weeks cakes? Or my Instagram shots, I love blog comments, let me know what you think!
Next week, keep your eyes peeled for a little man’s first birthday cake/cupcake combo and another wedding!!
