My third follower

So, I jump on blogger tonight to check that my blog's still sitting there (exactly where I left it three days ago) and I find I have a THIRD follower. I'm speechless! This is HUGE! So huge I've incorporated CAPS AND bold writing into this post....will the excitement never end?????

So, in honour of my third follower (who is my only non-family follower -  although my family followers are not to be dissed, they founded my follower base, followed me when no one else did) I present to you my best and most unique wedding cake EVER. Not a super duper massive accomplishment, I haven't done a gazillion wedding cakes. I've done six. But, the fact that number includes my own wedding cake, and this one is still my best and most unique, is perhaps more significant.

I did this cupcake tower for two gorgeous surburban hippies' outdoor wedding on Mt Glorious. Our car broke down on the way to deliver this cake........think two lane road, winding up a mountain, no mobile phone reception, 100 cupcakes patiently waiting in boxes...... it was the stuff cake delivery nightmares are made of.

It ended well, RACQ came, put the cap back on the radiator (yep, that's all it was - love RACQ) and we made it up the mountain to set up the cakes.

There were gorgeous bunches of Australian natives throughout the wedding and I attempted to replicate these in the cake topper.

This was by far my biggest challenge, I spent many an hour researching, borrowing library books and browsing the web for other similar sugar work. I think, considering it was my first flower arrangement ever, it came out well :)

The cupcakes were a mix of caramel and choc mud topped with scroll impression work and mini Australian natives.

I am so glad these guys trusted me to do their cake. It was a wonderful challenge that I'm so proud of.

Here's to more followers!!
