Sorry about the radio silence for the past month - it is a very crazy time of year!
We've been busy with work, Joanne's schooling, some friends and family events (we both had birthdays in the last 6 weeks!) and, of course, cakes!
Here is a wedding cake we made for a bride and groom who just arrived in Canada from Germany to have a small wedding with the bride's family (who is from Nova Scotia) before heading back to Europe. They were already married in Germany but wanted to come to Canada and have a ceremony here, too.
The order was put in just a couple of weeks before the big day and the cake had to travel from Halifax to Sydney, Cape Breton!
It was a reasonably small wedding, so the top tier is Styrofoam. The middle tier is vanilla cake with strawberry mousse filling and vanilla buttercream, while the base is the moist chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and the same buttercream.
This picture is from the kitchen as I finished placing the satin ribbon we were given (to match the Maid of Honour). Then, the cake board was cleaned up and it was boxed for its travel to Cape Breton!
Here's what we heard: "Everything went really well and the cake travelled perfectly. Everyone loved it and said it was delicious! My sister and I, both being pregnant, had a few too many pieces but it was so worth it!!"
As soon as we have pictures of the cake at the wedding, we'll post them. Congratulations to the happy couple!
