DESSERT BUFFET FOR G.O.T.P CANCER FUND RAISER LUNCHEON

GIRLS ON THE PORCH - BREAST CANCER AWARENESS FUND RAISER LUNCHEON.

It was indeed the greatest pleasure to Support The Girls on The Porch this Year http://www.girlsontheporch.com.au/about.html  & https://www.facebook.com/GirlsonthePorch in their Annual Fund Raising Event for Breast Cancer. 

After Meeting and Speaking with Melissa & Wendy from G.O.T.P, the reasons behind my wishing to help were all the more cemented. 

A Pink & White Dessert Buffet for the 180 Ladies, attending the Luncheon in Fremantle, was what i wished to create and donate.

Below - a few snippets from the Dessert Buffet Table.

CAVERSHAM HOUSE - BRIDAL OPEN DAY

With grey skies overhead and at times lashings of rain - Caversham House filled with Vendors, shone as tho a Spring Day.

Yes, Sunday the 6th July was the Swan Valley Bridal Open Day -  and before the 10.00am opening of the doors, the two Car parks were starting to fill with visitors.
As finishing touches were added to each Display -  Signs placed in the correct position - a neatening of cloths here and a straightening of chairs there.... 

With a *Have a lovely Day and Your Display Tables look beautiful* to my fellow Vendors - i turned and looked again at my Exhibit and smiled.... Yes, i had created the Soft shades of Green, White, Gold and just a hint of Pastel Pink and with the lighting of the candles, i was happy with what presented before me.

Gold cake stands that held ever so pastel pink Macarons - Mini swirled pastel pink Meringues - wrapped Chocolate Bars  and Vanilla Sponge cupcakes - with pastel pink flowers on top.

All sitting alongside and underneath the tall white cake stands that held the varying shades of pale green display cakes.....and one pale pastel pink cake with a single dusky pink Rose.

  

  

  

   

  

Thank you to all who attended and thank you to those who spoke with me - it was indeed a pleasure..

WEDDING - FOUR TIER FRUIT CAKE WITH FRANGIPANIS

WEDDING - FOUR TIER FRANGIPANI FRUIT CAKES 



Four Tiers of  Moist Brandied Fruit Cake -  each tier separated with varying size sugar Frangipani's.
The Tiers = a 6 inch - 8 inch - 10 inch and a 12 inch Bottom Tier.

Yes, this was the Wedding Cake Miss R Designed and asked me to Create...
Each open White Frangipani was dusted with a yellow center.- whilst the little white buds sat tucked in amongst the open petals.....Placed here and there were tiny little flowers, tumbling over the edges of each tier... so as to give a soft appearance to the edges of the Cake.

Standing some 20+ inches high - sitting on a large White Fondant Cake board-  everything Miss R had chosen for her Cake tied in beautifully with  each detail.

Around the base of each Tier was a Hessian Ribbon - which complimented the Beach Theme that Miss R  and Mr B had planned.  

The Venue  - East Fremantle Yacht Club was the perfect setting for such a Wedding Reception.... The view from the Reception Room windows was truly delightful as the Sun slowly began to set. 
 in the late afternoon. 

Yes, this was a delight to create for such a happy Bride....and her Mother, such  pleasure to meet - such a pleasure to work with you both....The relaxed atmosphere and laughter made it all the more enjoyable


Thank you both for your kind words - your card, warm words of  appreciation and the gift you gave. Surely treasured.
