Peas In a Pod
Oh how I love matching. Anyone who was at our wedding will surely know that. I had the challenge of replicating (with a few adjustments) a baby shower invitation onto a cake. It was fun, yet challenging at the same time. Being a designer first, my initial reaction was that my ideas kind of had to go on the back burner, however I learned that this was not the case. After trial and error on recreating the baby, the solution was simple. It didn’t have to match exactly, it had to “go”. Here was the final product, it was vanilla cake with lemon filling and vanilla buttercream. According to my husband, it was mmmmmmmmm.
The pea pod was dusted with some green pearl dust to give it the shimmer, the invitation had that as well.
On a side note, I’ve had quite a few people asking how far in advance they need to order a cake. Any notice is good notice, even if it’s a few months. Weekends tend to fill up faster than weekdays.
Have a great week everyone!
