Mr Y& Mr Mc have been friends for years and years and years, and when Mr Y announced he was engaged to the talented now Mrs Y we were ecstatic! I sat with Mrs Y when we had get-togethers to excitedly discuss wedding planning, everything from bunting to puddings were scrutinised, and I listened on unable to conceal my excitement for them (I LOVE a good wedding!) It was at one of these get togethers where they asked if I would do the honour of making their wedding cake! OMG, would I? Hell yea! I was one giddy kipper! Let the cake making commence!
Instead of rambling on about dragees and pillars, let me talk you through their day instead as the cake speaks for itself in its beautiful simplicity...
The now Mr & Mrs Young got married September 2011 on a beautiful warm September day, the sun was shining and the rain clouds had subsided - perfect!.
The ceremony was in their local village church which was decorated with the dusky pink and sage green chosen for their day and looked just oh so handsome! After the ceremony they were then whisked away by horse drawn carriage to the village hall which was their gorgeous quaint venue for their big day, it was for lack of a better word, just perfect.
The village hall was absolutely lovely. It was set out for their wedding breakfast with round tables with pink gingham table cloths and trugs of flowers for their centrepieces. They also had bunting and fairy lights adorning the roof. the whole effect was just simply beautiful! The cake? well it had its own little table off to one side of the top table, taking pride in its position and blending into the scene with ease. Mr & Mrs Y had pulled it off with gusto! All the careful planning had paid off, it was a wedding to remember for its quirky sweet retro feel, and I feel so pleased to have been a part of their big day and to have created a cake to fit in seamlessly.
The cake - 4 Tiers of rich fruit, victoria sponge and chocolate cake, decorated with pale ivory sugarpaste adorned with ivory dragees and contrasting ribbon, topped with a posy of fresh flowers. - It speaks for itself really...
