Fun with Fuschia

Ok - I've finally gotten around to posting the final installment of last week's wedding trifecta!

This wedding was being held at a relative of the client's house. This was just a small cake, and was accompanied by over 100 cupcakes. The stand that the cupcakes were going to be held on was also being used for dinner services by the catering company, so we unfortunately couldn't get a picture of the final setup. The flavour of the cake itself was strawberry lemonade, and there were 5 different flavours of cupcakes - strawberry lemonade, golden butterscotch, vanilla, mint chocolate, and orange vanilla. The flowers on top were handmade, and the pearls around the base of each tier were handpainted with a pearl dust for extra sheen.

The house was beautifully set up for a garden party in the backyard. I have to say that the weather was absolutely perfect for an outdoor reception. After such a hectic weekend, Mandi Loo and I were ready to jump in their pool! We somehow managed to fight the urge... Although I have no idea how we found the strength to do so.

Anyway, fuschia seems to be a very popular wedding colour this year. I feel very lucky that so far I have managed to have very different clients, who all want very different things. That's what keeps this business fun and exciting!
