Wow, what an amazing weekend. My dream job with dream clients took place!! Last year Julie made contact with me about her wedding. She was so lovely,definitely not the typical bride. As we sat at her dinner table I remember her saying that they were going to have a lolly bar, but didn't really want it. I asked her what she wanted and she said she really wanted a table of sweets, old style,kitch kind of sweets. I asked her why she wasn't having it, to me it sounded like a fabulous idea, she said that she didn't think anyone would do it for her. Of course I offered straight away, it sounded exciting, such fun and something so different. And from that moment the dessert table was born!! Seriously this wedding has kept me going for so long, it's been something that I've looked forward to forever. Not sure what I'm going to do now.... I honestly don't think I've met a nicer couple, really they're both just gorgeous. Julie & Luke congratulations and thank you for letting me be apart of your special day. I really need to thank my sister Maria, who helped out with some of the desserts. I couldn't have done it without her.

An "oxblood" red gebera for a wedding sample.

This is just the cutest story, Nick and I have been communicating for weeks to plan this, and I'd never even met him, very strange. Nick brought Vicki to bake-a-boo for afternoon tea, he thought it was the perfect place to propose as Vicki loves little tea rooms and cupcakes etc. I sold him on the marry me? cupcakes, as we have done those before, but we have never been able to witness the results. After they munched their way through the tea I presented vicki with the covered cakes, saying it was a surprise and then she lifted the cover, as Nick went round to her chair and got down on one knee....of course she said yes! the whole shop started clapping, I must admit I had a little tear in my eye...so sweet. Congratulations Nick and Vicki xxx

The wedding we did on Saturday at a lovely place called Skilpadsvlei. The decor was beautiful, simple yet so elegant, shades of white, velvety greens, black and silver. The cuppies where a moist chocolate base with chocolate buttercream and 75% couverture chocolate ganache. Congratulations Wikus and Nancia!

6" Red Velvet Cutting Cake for the top of the tower, with the bride & groom's names in a star trek style font - all painstakingly handcut

Wedding Cupcakes - there were 180 cakes in total, but only around 110 here. The bride & groom were a really fun couple & wanted the Star Trek Insignia & Space Invaders on their cakes, but also something more 'weddingy' that fitted in with their colours of purple, orange, green & white so we came up with glittery hearts and daisies. It was great to do a more unusual wedding, and although all the decorations were handcut and handpainted I really enjoyed doing them

Flavours were:
Red Velvet with Vanilla bc (not having another catastrophe with cream cheese frosting again!)
Vanilla with Vanilla bc
Lemon with lemon bc
Chocolate with white choc bc

Favours made for a wedding on Saturday. Colour scheme was red, black and white. We put the cuppies in clear boxes and tide lovely "Thank you" tags to the box. The two cuppies on top are for the bride and groom who shared a bite in place of the usual cake cutting tradition.

120 of these, all vanilla. Tried to make sure all of them had a different design on. Some were flat tops, and others domed.

200 cupcakes flavored chocolate, vanilla, and marble with green grass and fondant flip flops.
