MINT GREEN AND LILAC -
CAKE WITH FAIRIES

COOKIES - JELLY CAKES - GRAPE JELLY CUPS -
HOME MADE MARSHMALLOWS AND CAKE TRUFFLES



Today i delivered this pretty Birthday Cake...


Eight friends where invited to help make today a very happy day.

A cake - something in soft hues - perhaps Mint Green and Lilac - such pretty colours together - very soft and very chic....yes, pastels.

A tall cake with fairies - fairies under a tree - as tho sitting in the garden ...(as fairies do)
The tree i shall make the same colour as the cake - and add jade glitter - giving the tree some sparkle.

And so that is the cake i created.
The base of the cake shall have hundreds of tiny flowers  - depicting trees in the Forrest.
A few pretty Lilac houseflies - again - as that is here you find butterflies - in the Forrest and in a garden.    Little stars on green wires - again, depicting a fairies wand and stars in the early evening sky.

To sit along side the Cake there was also...

Fruits of the Forrest Lilac Marshmallow - in the shapes of Hearts
Delicious recipe .....

White Mud Cake Cake Truffles - dipped in mauve chocolate  - then a little mint green butterfly i attached...............ever so girlie

Grape Jelly Cups

And - Vanilla Bean Cupcake shaped Cookies - again decorated in Mint Green with a little Mauve Butterfly attached....wrapped in little cellophane bags with a mauve ribbon.

  9. Thank you Ambar for your comment - the Jellies i made from a packet however i added pure red grape juice that i made by blitzing the grapes in my Food Processor and then straining through a very fine sieve a couple of times to make sure it would be clear. For that *added* grape taste and colour - then added it to the Jelly mix that i had already made.

    Thank you again for your kind comment
