Peachy Keen

Hello again folks!

I'm slowly falling asleep as I type this, but I'll try and stay awake long enough to complete a coherent post.

Our dear friends of the bakery, Carl and Pamela, were married today! We were so happy to be a part of their day - they are an extremely lovely and genuine couple. I'll be sure to hear all about the big day tomorrow as Mandi is there hosting the evening as the MC!

The flavours we used here were chocolate raspberry and vanilla raspberry. They aren't one of our 'regular' flavours - but just remember that we are open to any flavour requests (within reason)! The chocolate raspberry was especially delicious... not that I was snacking on the scraps or anything... I never do that... ahem... so... anyways...

Carl and Pamela's wedding colours were peach, purpley-pink, turquoise and green. When we sat down to discuss the cake, they showed me these handmade, wired bead flowers they were making as decoration - they were beautiful! I used those colours as inspiration for the flowers used as a topper on the cake. The flowers I made are alstroemeria, carnations, a lily, some hydrangea blooms, and a couple of sprigs of peach-coloured blossoms. Sugar flowers are my number one favourite aspect of cake decorating; I may have said that before, but I mean it!

The cupcakes were frosted using icing that was naturally coloured using raspberry. Delicious raspberriness...mmm...

I also made the cupcake/cake stand, which is now able to be rented out with orders. It can be customized to match the wedding or event it's being used for.

Not much else to report - here's a quick reminder to pick up your tasting ticket for Cupcake Camp next weekend!

I think that's it for now... I just glanced up at the television, and someone just crawled into bed. I'm extremely jealous so I'm packing up and heading off for the night. I lead a wild life, don't I?

PS - See below for a specialty cupcake that was ordered to go along with the wedding cake/cupcakes... I think it is just better to not even explain its existence... but feast your eyes on this: A RUBBER CHICKEN CUPCAKE!!! (Yes, it's still vegan!!!)
