Week Ending 16 August 2009

What a week! Whew - I can't say that I'm sad to see the back end of it! But, what with all the "go, go, go" this past week has been a great one!

First off, we had our magazine shoot on Tuesday, for Complete Weddings, Melbourne edition. It's for issue 31, due to hit the shelves in December. Here is a sneak peak:

I'll post up a image from the magazine once I see it, but it will be a while away yet! The great news from that shoot is that our cakes were also used as props for another section of the magazine, so that's very exciting!

Next up, we had a 21st, with a Spring Racing Carnival theme.

The cupcakes are a mixture of chocolate fudge and vanilla bean, all decorated in pinks and greens. The matching cutting cake is a 6" diameter vanilla bean cake, with a biot feather topper in the style of a fascinator. The colour combination is really striking; unfortunately the photo does it no justice at all, as it was taken inside the venue with artifical lighting just on dark.

Our next client was for a Christening. I just love creating cupcakes for Christenings! This lucky baby celebrated her Christening in style with White Truffle and Raspberry cupcakes, decorated in my signature whimsical style in tones of crystal pink and white. Just perfect for a little girl!

And finally we wrapped up the week with a small table at a Bridal Fair at Killara Estate Winery. The weather was terrible (but a typical Melbourne day!!), but we had a great turn-out, and were kept very busy indeed!

Next week will see us on the road again on Tuesday, seeing some very interesting people, and more flower making for yet another photo shoot!

Oh, and the next Target stores catalogue should be out early this week (from memory!) featuring not just our cupcakes, but a cutting cake as well... I'll post up the images once it's released!

And last but not least, our competition winner!

We had some great entries, and I was very surprised to learn that there are more Treat Seekers around than Sweet Buffs... there could only be one winner, and the winner is (drumroll please!)
