Outdoor Summer Celebrations

For those of you following my adventures in the pursuit of the sweet things in life - will know the dramatic lead up to this weekends orders.  But as I stepped away from the table after placing the last macaron on the plate and looked at my first dessert table, I forgot all stresses of the past week.

You may wonder, the pains and dramas of producing something beautiful only to have it devoured and gone in a matter of minutes - is it all worth it?

Well....yes, I think so.  To me, beauty is fleeting.  So for me, making a difference, no matter how fleeting, as long as it is memorable - it's enough for me.

Carol & Doug had a beautiful morning wedding at Kings Park in the Rotunda.  The bride chose macarons to match the colours of her bouquet by florist extraordinaire Jessie Anne, cake pops flavoured with tia maria and cointreau, an orange blossom cupcake tower and cranberry and white chocolate shortbread cookies.  All by the beautiful view of the Swan River on a perfect summer day!

The display from another angle!

I'm sure that Carol & Doug's big day sparkled brightly and was absolutely memorable!

Last on this week's program was Katie's bridal shower.  A private cupcake class was requested for 25 of Katie's closest friends. 

The ladies were taught how to pipe buttercream and make fondant roses and penguin figurines.

Hard at work!

The bride to be made this cupcake without taking her veil and gloves off..... impressive!!

Well done to all the lovely ladies.  Congratulations to the beautiful bride to be. Many thanks to the wonderful Amanda and Lisa for organising the tea party and Liz for opening her gorgeous home to host us all!
