Remember that 'title' page I shared a little while ago for my 'Occasion Cakes' Album - the album I am going to create which features all the decorated cakes I have done over the years? Well - I finished a page to go inside it! I've decided to kep all the pages very simple - no titles, dates or journaling - just the photos and some simple decorating to accompany them.
I can't remember exactly how long ago I did this cake (not that it really matters anyway) BUT I remember it was the first one I had done that featured a 'bell' as the top tier!
The cake was covered in white icing and I made all the flowers from icing - orchids, roses, carnations, forget-me-nots and rose leaves too. The sides were simply decorated with lace extension pieces that were attached in a scalloped design around the cake with small apricot bows added for a finishing touch - such a soft and delicate look!
And - as usual - here's a couple of close-ups
Today I also want to wish my very best friend - since Year 9 at High School - a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Here's hoping you have a fantastic day Debbie and that you get spoilt wrotten . . . goodness - 40 - can you believe it? High School just doesn't seem all that long ago now does it?
Oh - and I just wanted to make mention of James doing the MS Readathon and how well he is going - he's almost reached his goal of raising $350 this year - as you can imagine, he's so very proud! He's only got until the 30th - just a few more days - BUT he's convinced that he can make it AND also reach Auntie Helen's challenge as well! Just click on the link above to be taken direct to his personal MS Readathon Homepage to see how he is going!
Until next time . . .
