BRIDAL DISPLAY --- IN THE SWAN VALLEY...

It is a few weeks ago now since i had my Display in the Swan Valley... showcasing some of my creations and various ideas for displaying Wedding Cakes and Cupcakes.

On Display was my Full White Floral Cake...with some 100+ of my pure White Flowers.
A 7 inch Round x 7 inches tall - 
which would feed 30 Guests @ Coffee Size Portions - 
or 15 Guests @ Dessert Size Portions.


                           White Floral Cake placed on 11 inch High Crystal Pedestal








Which sat alongside  my Three Tiered Vintage Cake Stand...
Standing nearly one Meter in Length and one Meter in Height - it can hold up to approx 60 small cupcakes... whilst others can be placed outside the oped doors for a truly Vintage Cupcake Display.... 

Three shelves that can not only hold Cupcakes but gorgeous vases, bowls or jugs of pretty flowers.....plus scented candles.

With doors that can be clipped closed or gently tied with a Ribbon - until it is time for my Cupcakes to be served to your Guests.....


Or..... left ajar - showcasing  the dainty  Cupcakes sitting inside.....









                                        White Flowers in White Butterfly Cases...

         Dainty little Cupcakes... some with my pure White Flowers sitting on top of embossed White lids - whilst other Flowers in Ivory, sat on top of Ivory embossed lids.
                  Sitting in little White Cases - with Organza Butterflies attached.






 

     Ivory Flowers in White Butterfly Cases






White Flowers - again on top of embossed White Lids sat in little White Cases - this time with Diamante's, for those who  like their Cupcake to match their White Cake with stings of Diamante's





or perhaps under Little Glass Domes...



Also on Display was my Pastel Mint Green Bird Cage Cake - decorated with White Flowers, Birds and Butterflies... 
which was placed on top of a 14 inch Glass Stand.

With my White Cake decorated with Pastel Pink Flowers in the foreground.





Mini Cupcakes in little Lace Wrappers of varying designs sat on the bottom Shelf...some in white wrappers, whilst others Ivory and Latte....
with either my White or Ivory Flowers on top of embossed tops.




Chocolates wrapped in pretty Designer Paper sat in a Glass stemmed Cake Stand...





The beautiful White Roses, White Tulips - along with the heavenly Pink Peonies were from Matthew Landers Florist in Victoria Park.....

WEDDING - GOLD



Gold - Mr & Miss S  requested an all Gold Cake... to sit on a Gold  covered Cake Board...  with embossing around the entire Cake - one large lower to sit on top of the Cake - surrounded by *Maxine* style Flowers.
 This was a first for me - and i was thrilled to be given the chance to create such a Cake .
A delightful couple - softly spoken  with an air of grace about  then both.... this style and colour of Cake suited them both.... and  would sit perfectly in place, in the Dinning Room at Stewarts Restaurant @ Brookleigh Estate in the Swan Valley.

The large Flower , along with the 96 smaller Flowers for the 96 Cupcakes were made and coloured  to a hue of the softest Pastel Pink.
When it came time to spraying the Large Flower, i endeavored to  spray the lower petals  lightly, so as the pastel pink would still be visible.
The Cupcake Flowers were to be sprayed so as a mixture of Gold and Pastel Pink was visible.

The Wedding Cake was a 6 inch Round x 7 inches tall.
A Chocolate Mud Cake with Cherry Ripe incorporated into the batter....
Torted into 6 layers the Cake was then filled with a Dark Bacolade Chocolate Ganache.

The Cupcakes were Vanilla Sponge - with a White Chocolate Ganache mixed with fresh Berries - to continue with the pastel pink theme.

 
 Gold Bows were tied to back of each Guests Chair - whilst Gold sashes were laid across the large tables..... and to complement the decor, vases and bowls of Roses in hues of Pinks  Gold and Champagne bought the room together beautifully.

PINK - RUFFLE - OMBRE


PINK - RUFFLES - OMBRE



Six layers of Pink Vanilla Sponge Cake.... each layer filled with Snow white Buttercream lay hidden underneath the same Pink shades of the Ruffle Ombre Cake - all 17 layers of Ruffles
With just a hue of Pink in the Flowers which sat on top of the Cake.

A Birthday Cake for Mrs G... the Pinks, matching perfectly with the Pink flowers, Drinks, and decorations that filled her home....for her *all pink* evening.

This 7 inch Round Cake stood 7 inches high - and the guests were surprised to see the varying shades of Pink sponge as Mrs G cut into the cake.  

Little Pots of Raspberry Mousse and  Little pots of White Chocolate Mousse all topped with edible Rose Petals - again adding a pretty and tasteful touch of Pink to the desserts......
and Pink Floral Chocolates also sat upon the Vintage cake stands that i decorated with pink Flowers.....

This was a first for me - and such a joy to create for such a special occasion.






                                                               




                                        Flowers on top of the Cake - in  Hues of Pink...



                                                    White Chocolate Mousse Pots - with Rose Petals....



                                                     


                                                     Pink Floral wrapped Chocolates.....




                                                  Raspberry Pots - with Rose Petals




Yes, a very Pink evening was planned for Mrs G's Guests..... and a wonderful evening was had by all ....with many Pink moments ....
