Wedding cake - traditions and elegance

Okay, so I have been busy making a friends wedding cake and cookies...ohh now you know. That is where I have been lurking..but I am not ready to show you that yet. In the midst of all the decorating I have been doing I was thinking about my own wedding and the cake we had. No, I didn't make my own and I think any bride who does is very brave and very organised. We had lots of family travel to us for our wedding so even if I could have, I don't think I would have had the sanity to do it. So getting back to it. Our cake...was very small - only two tiers and was made by the wonderfully talented JudyC in Brisbane. It was a fruit cake (see I told you there was tradition) and there was some orchids to match my bouquet (elegant).

And we loved it. I told my hubby I wanted a big party all over again (one day) for our wedding, so that we could celebrate all over again - and this time I might make the cake ;)  So, did you love your wedding cake? Would you celebrate the same way all over again?

Pink for a cause

I know it is September but sometimes I have to get my butt into gear early. October is around the corner and that means Pink Ribbon day is around the corner. I have a few ideas in mind for this year but I am not sharing them yet. Instead I thought I would share my past pink ribbon efforts.

Last year I made these and donated all the money to the pink ribbon day cause.

These are lemon or chocolate shortbread cookies with a pink fondant covering embossed or plain, with a lustre shimmer dust. Mmmmmm might have to bake tomorrow..I love the lemon ones! So dont forget pink ribbon day is coming.
