Happy New Year!
My trip was fantastic! Christmas was great! I didn’t do the gingerbread house thing this year. But next year for sure!
Mom’s wedding was great. Really nice and mellow and sweet. I was happy to be able to make their wedding cake!
I used the colours of mom’s dress and the matching silk flowers we picked out as inspiration for the cake. I had attempted to make gum paste flowers to match the silk ones, but I couldn’t get them quite right so because of that and because the wedding was on Boxing Day I decided to just use the silk flowers. I think they worked out better.
I love mom’s dress! We shopped for it early in the summer. It’s a lovely silk and she added a gold mesh sweater over top of it.
The cake was alternating layers of lemon and blueberry filled with blueberry filling. The whole cake was iced with coconut Italian meringue buttercream to add to the Hawaiian theme. Then I covered the whole cake in white fondant and decorated it with the silk flowers.
Mom and her husband are now two weeks in to a month long honeymoon in Hawaii.
Congratulations mom and Don! I was so happy I was able to do your cake and be a part of your wedding.
