IVORY AND PINK ...............
FOR MY FRIEND LYN


Lyn was having a special Birthday - family and friends knew - but what Lyn didn't know was that her lovely Daughter Reyenna and i had met to discuss exactly what her Birthday Cake would look like -
Yes, this was to be a surprise Birthday Party at one of Perth's finest Restaurants.... Fraser's Restaurant......... set high above Perth in Kings Park.

Nothing could be more wonderful for Lyn - Her Family seated with her at the beautiful long table adorned with pretty flowers and gorgeous little candles....

So i was thrilled to design such a Cake for my Friend....
Soft and Pretty ............ so very Lyn .... for she is very soft and pretty.


As early evening turned to nighttime i thought how wonderful a time Lyn would be having surrounded by those she loves...

An Ivory Cake with large pastel pink flowers  sitting on top of the Cake - with smaller flowers tumbling down the side.
A plague with an embossed *L* sitting in amongst the little flowers.


Nine Cupcakes -
Four with Flowers and Five with Butterflies to be placed at each guests place setting.
Every box tied with a rose coloured ribbon.

My gift to Lyn....Designer Chocolates - each one with her Name and a Birthday Wish on the back...


Yes, it was indeed such a pleasure to design, make and deliver the Cake and Cupcakes for my Friend.


Early the following morning i received such a lovely phone call thanking me for what i had created - we laughed  at how her Birthday Cake/s eventuated - and as i said above - it was indeed my pleasure.
