Who do you invite?

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

When we got married, we had a real conundrum; we wanted to invite everyone we knew, all our friends and family to share in our happiness. However, our budget was really tight, and we knew we could not invite everyone. So how do you choose who to invite, and who should be left out?

I have come up with this little flowchart to help you decide who gets to party all night, and who stays home.

Leave a comment if this helps you with your invites, or if you have your own method of whittling down your guest list

December Wedding Cakes

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

I have been a bit remiss lately, and haven’t been updating this as frequently as I should — but I will blame a busy few weeks and hosting the in-laws for Christmas dinner.

We have been creating some gorgeous cakes lately that I would like to share with you, the first one was a really unusual cake, created especially for the winter solstice at Stonehenge, for a lovely couple, Tara and Joe, for their handfasting ceremony

The inside of the cake was a rich and spicy carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

The next cake was a variation of our ‘Roses & Rings’ wedding cake, this time in a gorgeous hot pink colour scheme, and customised Bride & Groom figurines to match Helen and Mark.

Although the outside was classically traditional, the inside was a fresh and unusual twist, the bottom layer of ‘Vanilla Latte’, a light coffee sponge with rich vanilla buttercream; middle layer of chocolate cake with a white chocolate and raspberry ganache filling; and the top layer of banana sponge with a white chocolate ganache filling.

Finally, we had one of my favorite cakes, Fluttering Butterflies Wedding Cake, this time in a fabulous claret/burgundy colour scheme.

This pretty butterfly design for Jody and Gemma had a bottom layer of chocolate orange — chocolate cake with a chocolate orange filling, and a top layer of strawberries and white chocolate — light fluffy sponge with fresh strawberries and a white chocolate ganache filling.

I hope you have enjoyed these cakes, do let me know what you think!
