Love + Cake

I downloaded this awesome new app (well I think it's awesome) on my mac that makes things (I've chosen soap bubbles) trail my cursor around my computer screen. It makes every computing experience more whimsical :)

I love new things, new ideas, taking an existing idea and giving it a new twist. And that is precisely what this gorgeous engagement cake was. The design of this engagement cake was a collaboration between the couple and myself and I think it turned out splendidly. It's the combination of an intertwined heart cake they found on flickr by Jenny at OzCake and the idea of roses curving down tiers of cake - this is the end product.

There is something so symbolic about intertwining hearts and what better time to display this symbol then when celebrating the start of a life long love! I was a little apprehensive when I started this cake, that it could look as good as did it in my head. That the design would hold together. But once the dark red borders were on, the cake came together. The handmade sugar roses added a beautiful feature and completed the design. I also loved the topper Celina and Rob found at Pink Frosting - who have oodles of gorgeous toppers made to order.

The cake formed the centre piece for this spectacular dessert buffet. I am just waiting for an event of mine that warrants a dessert buffet - it was all I could do not to dig into this one!!

Thanks for letting me make your cake guys, I'm honoured!
