Fall Arrangements

Wow it's been a busy few months. Apologies for all my friends reading my blogs.
I'm right in the middle of making some beautiful fall arrangements out of sugar and wanted to share.
I'm using a variety of sugar roses in orange, yellows and reds,  I added some sugar maple leaves to some of the arrangements and coloured them in the same beautiful colours of fall.
Please let me know if you'd like the instructions for the fall leaves, these have been fun to do and make a nice touch to any sugar arrangement.

The beauty of Black and White wedding cakes.

As I meet with my brides to find their perfect cake vision I am often asked about black and white cakes. Although I've talked to brides about black and white designs I have never done a black and white cake!  I have done some lovely sugar flowers in black, but I hope one day to take on a cake and look forward to bringing a brides vision to life. But in the mean time I have decided to add (to my collection of pictures) some beautiful black and white cakes. Again these are not my creations but I think are some stunning classic looks that deserve to be shown and shared again.

 This is a beautiful cake with lovely piping.
This next one is not the traditional round cake but square cakes. Nicely done with dark flowers and lovely piping. I really like the dividers with a single black ribbon going down the side.

This one is very elegant, however I think I would have put a lovely large flower on the top. The top looks like it's missing something  to me. Beautiful art on the middle tier.

This one reminds me of a movie -My Fair Lady in the scene where all the ladies wore those beautiful large hats to the horse race. A classic look that I absolutely love.

Another work of art, beautifully done with floral design and a single elegant flower.

Here are some other note-worthy pictures of unique black and white ideas:

I hope this helps if you are thinking about a black and white cake.

Thanks for reading-- please share your ideas and pictures.
