Sweet Handbag for girls

I whipped up this cake quickly last week for my niece who was turning 8. The idea for the design came from the cute woolen bag (made by Pashom) that was sent to my daughter as a gift at christmas. As soon as I saw the bag I thought it would make the cutest little cake. Yes truly.. that is how my mind works!
I love pink and red together. Such a sweet combination for girls. Here is the bag made by Pashom. Be sure to check out their fabulous website.

Black and White with a splash of Bright!

Whilst I am definitely still a fan of the sophistication of a black and white cake there is a trend at the moment that I just love! Brides are adding a great splash of colour to their wedding. Bright is definitely in and makes for a great statement with the cake and decorating of a function.
Here is a beautiful photo of Daphne and Jared cutting their fun cake.
This cake below was made for Vicki and Dean in early January. The bright green was an exact match to the bridesmaids and the handpainted design was requested by Vicki after falling in love with another cake we had made. Originally this couple had planned a very differently styled wedding but a change of venue led to an overhaul and the creation of this beautiful cake. I designed this cake to take to a bridal expo last June and yep Daphne and Jared fell in love with it and added there own twist. It certainly is a cake that will have your guests talking!
I just love the lime green in this cake. Meredith and Brendan were just blown away by the finished product. We had had the honour of making Meredith's sisters cake the year before so it was a true compliment that they as a family love our cakes enough to return.
I love this Amy Atlas desert table. The bright yellow is definitely what makes the display.
I found this cute table photo on google and just loved the splash of pink.
So what are your thoughts on black, white and bright?
Til next time,
Belinda
