My sister is now a married lady. I am so happy that she has found a man who can sweep her off her feet and love her like she is meant to be loved! The whole thing happened like a whirlwind and I can’t believe that the wedding has come and gone so quickly.

When she asked me to do the wedding cake, I was really honored and the picture that she showed me was a fairly simple design. I hope to get some of the professional photos too, but in the mean time here are some amateur ones. I found the beautiful cake topper in Germany and it really finished the cake off beautifully. (It is available for future hire)

It has taken me a very long time to allow myself to place things randomly, but I think that I did manage some semblance of this on the wedding cake. Normally, everything would have to be evenly spaced and perfectly numbered, but I got this one right. It also helped a great deal to have a willing bridesmaid and groomsman helping me to make the blue flowers. We have quite a few left and I am very grateful to them for this as I could be as free with the flowers as I desired.

I took the cake to the venue without flowers of decoration of any kind and set it up there. It was a 30 minute trip on an unpleasant road and I didn’t feel like the stress of arriving there with to discover the flowers had come off/gotten squashed or the cake had moved or any other number of horrible ideas that floated into my mind. So all I did in advance was the marzipan layer, plastic icing layer and flowers. This along with a bowl of royal icing and I did everything else at the venue. Then I only had to move it 5 metres to the cake table and no heart attacks from transporting the cake.
