Greetings all,
An oldie but a goodie, when you need to decorate a cake, instantly - add fresh flowers. It's Spring & there is so much choice for stunning fresh flowers, but how beautiful is a single, perfect, red rose?? Even better on a chocolate on chocolate cake!!
Our wedding cake was a large square chocolate mud cake with a smaller square on top, on an angle, with white chocolate ganache icing & a trio of oriental lillies on top, da dah!! So pretty, simple & effective. More creativity??
That's all folks, it's been a loooong day, love Posie
I couldn't agree more! Our wedding cake was decorated with sprinkled crimson rose petals and I thought it looked really pretty. Mmm chocolate cake *Tummy growls* Have a lovely weekend. x
ReplyDeleteYum. That looks like a feast covering all the major food groups
ReplyDelete(chocolate, dairy, chocolate, carbs, chocolate, chocolate...)
oh yum! looks divine...and i spot candles - who birthday??? Well, happy birthday to whoever was the recipient of that delicious cake! xx
ReplyDeleteoff to bed for you then lady (although good luck sleeping after eating that rich cake!)
ReplyDeleteMmmmm...chocolate cake. Just what I feel like right about now. Not that I'm going to get any, but a girl can dream, right?
ReplyDeleteHi Posie

Your wedding cake sounded perfect too.

My wedding cake was two round cakes with a trio of red roses on top. Simple but stunning I thought.
ReplyDeleteTake care Jennie and get some rest!
OUr wedding cake was chocolate and sprinkled with rose petals. My grandmother-in-law disapproved heartily of the chocolate cake - but neither my husband nor I eat fruit cake. That said, we didn't actually get to eat any anyway:)
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I think some flowers are edible.
ReplyDeleteHaha! What a fabulous tip Posie. Looks beautiful! I have never thought of fresh flowers for my cakes, but they would look stunning. On cupcakes too! Thanks for this one :o) xo
ReplyDeletefresh flowers improve everything don't they?
ReplyDeleteWhere's my slice? You're making me hungry now girl! lol
ReplyDeleteThe cake is delicious.
