Ah... such a shame about the wet weather over Easter this year. It's been really unfortunate that the last 8 or 9 Easters in the last 10 years have been wet. I'm sure many events are a washout but cake always brightens the day.

This was a special order Extra Large White Chocolate, Coconut and Raspberry Cake. Delivered in the pouring rain but hopefully there will be enough respite sometime this weekend to enjoy it with special people.

Rustic is the new expensive and posh. 

But to actually try to make something look rustic and "as is" is actually a lot harder than you think! 

The frosting was so yummy (so the feedback came back!). White chocolate, coconut and raspberry. Lots of people came back for second servings! ;) Yay!

Gourmet selection of cupcakes as part of a wedding tasting. Looking for contract in 2-tiers so two light colours and 2 darker colours.

- Coconut white chocolate

- White chocolate passion

- Peanut butter chocolate and crowd favourite...

- Hazelnut dark chocolate

To this...!!!

We're stoked it turned out so well. A lot of time and effort went into this beautiful cake. And it was such a lovely day, perhaps a good sign for the new wedded couple. Enjoyed making this so much, love all the techniques. Think of us when planning your next wedding!!
