pretty in pink

One of my favourite things about caketop making is having a wee sneak preview of what the bride and grrom will look like on the day, when all those carefully chosen outfits, flowers and pretty colours come together. Grooms' tie or cravate often mirror the bridesmaids' dress colour, which may often match theshades in the Brides' bouquet, which often tone in with the buttonhole flower, which occasionally echoes hair colour....

emails emails ....emails... DONE!

YAAAAY!!!!! Emails are all up to date as of now! 18.39 28th July 2011 Oh yes!! If you are awaiting a reply still then the ether has intercepted it somehow or the spooky inbox mail muncher monster may have got it when i wasn't looking..... give me a ring should you be a victim of this dreadful fate.... xx

Here is one of the reasons i was very slow at emails this month.... Big congratulations to Jim and Margret who make a lovely couple and don't actually look anything like a pair of teddy bears.... although now you mention it....!!

Tour de Caketops!

Well it's July folks and that must mean le Tour de France is on le telly, (or in my case the pooter) while i remain chained to my workdesk making lots of summer wedding caketops!! Whew, Alpe d'Huez tomorrow too so no rest for the wicked..... Still, when i see those cyclists climbing big mountains and battling it out in rain, wind and shine, well i just think to myself, Hey where's your kilt??!! No doubt the Bride awaits the best dressed at the finish....!!

It'll be all over on Sunday of course when all roll into Paris. If you happen to be there look out for this charming couple, you may spot the splendid hat!! This cake top is one i made recently and was great fun to make and challenged me to attempt some gravity defiying, big mountain climbing, sewing skills... I posted it off to France and happily it made its way to the capital even quicker than the Tour, and has already had it's big day in Paris. Bonne Chance!! (unfortunatly i never studied French so i can't add anything clever or witty here, quel dommage...)
