It's time!!! I'm at the airport! I'm sitting on a couch, looking out the window at the plane that will fly me to the far, far away land called "England". You might have heard of it.I've had a bit of bad news =( Just found out that Eddie Spence, my royal icing hero, has fallen ill and will not be having his demonstration at ICHF this weekend. While I'm extremely disappointed that I won't get to meet him (this demo was the driving force behind my decision to go!), it's more important that he gets better! So my thoughts are going out to him and his family, and hopefully he recovers soon. Sigh!!!
Anyway, before I take off, I just wanted to post a little update with the latest wedding cake. This past weekend our dear friends of the bakery - Crystal and Allen - were married on the most sacred of days (in my world, anyway) - Halloween! From my understanding, their special day started off at the Mayfair Theatre, where they were we
d and had a screening of a specially requested film (not sure what they decided on!). The reception was then held at the Courtyard Restaurant; a beautiful location on the market (although a difficult place to deliver to - it's not fun to carry a cake from a parking garage! haha)The cake itself had a few inspirations that influenced the final design. Being that the event was held on Halloween, we went for something that had a gothic feel to it. The red reminded me of the colour that's used on curtains
and walls in older theatres. A couple of Halloween-details were added to really represent the awesomeness that comes with being married on October 31st. The last detail that you'll notice is a 2-person bike on the sides of the cake. This couple are avid cyclists (one is a bike messenger! How cool is that!?), so I added this detail to really make the cake unique for them. I thought the 2-person bike was pretty cute =)I have to admit that this cake was a little self-indulgence for me... (Mario cakes and Halloween cakes... they make me so happy.)
OK, well I think it's about time I start getting my stuff together and getting ready for my flight. It has been such a manic past 4 days that it is hard to believe my trip is really here!!! I have saved all my pennies so that I will be able to go absolutely wild at the cake show. (Man, I'm such a nerd.) Lots of pictures and updates will follow, I'm sure!
So I shall leave you all with the snow, and the cold! Sorry, but it has to be done. Duty calls! It's a hard life, isn't it?
Take care, and I will be back... eventually...!!!
On that note, I leave you with a lovely song from The Vandals:
