Top Tier

S just went and picked up the last of our loot from The Hotel Windsor, and came back with the top tier of our cake and some more flowers that were on the tables.


Majority of our table flowers were taken by our Mums to be placed on the graves of loved ones.



We were going to freeze the top tier whole, but could not resist cutting 2 slices as we did not eat any on the night. It was delicious! 2 flavours, chocolate fudge/macadamia and white choc/raspberry.


It is now nestled in our freezer.






I want to dry out these roses, how do I do so?


We don't have a laundry as such, it is the same as our kitchen and our only out door area is a balcony with no protection from the elements, 7 floors up.




Our cake was by Cioccolata Bella and tasted divine. I had a few brides-to-be ask me who made the cake, as it was so moist and amazing!!

Flowergirl Dresses - Check!!

I gave up on the Leona Edmiston Flowergirl Dresses. They were beyond impossible to track down.




I bought these cute flowergirl dresses today instead, from David Jones.




The brand is Jesse and they were $109.95.





They match our cake perfectly!! Hurrah. Nothing else does.


I have no skill when it comes to creating Bows but I'm sure someone can tie a lovely one on the day.



Hopefully little Raina and Thomas are walking by September, as they are not yet!!


If not, they can be pulled in a red wagon by the 2 older kiddos.








It feels nice to tick that off my list.




Tick!

Cioccolata Bella

Last night I had a wedding cake tasting at Cioccolata Bella and am in love!


Elizabeth works on her own, and creates these beautiful cakes which not only look divine, they taste delicious which is sometimes not very common in the wedding cake industry.




I went there with a cake in mind but was swayed when I saw these 3.

This, is the cake dreams are made of.

Amazing.

Loveeee it.

Want it.

Need it.

Must have it.

As we are having desert served, our cake will only be used for coffee portions and this cake is quite large so we would be freezing the top tier and serving the 2nd highest tier for a few days afterwards!

S did not come along, but loves this cake also.

It is a tad more than we agreed to spend, but my friend Beetroot (also known as Burak) has organised us a DJ for the bargain price of $300 (we thought we would have to spend $700 - $1,000) so it is still working out under budget if that makes sense.

I am so ready to book this cake in, but Doreen (also known as Dobrinka), my Future Mother in Law is coming up to Melbourne on the 19th to spend the day cake tasting with us.


Elizabeth was kind enough to send S home a noodle box full of large samples, even though I told him that if he didn't come he didn't get to taste!

I had to trek home and catch a tram in the rain (someone - I won't mention any names *cough cough S* took my umbrella out of my bag when getting something out) so it got a little wet and dirty but the cakes were fine... I may have nibbled on them on the tram also.


Now let me tell you, S is very particular about cake and takes his testing job very very seriously.

I was armed with a pen and paper and he rated each flavour out of 10.

If we go with Cioccolata Bella (which I hope we do) we will have the Chocolate Fudge Macadamia and maybe the White Chocolate with Raspberries as they are the 2 that he rated highly.

It's a good system - he picks the flavours he likes best, we agree on them and then I pick what the cake looks like.
