For a cute, crafty looking wedding cake without having to reach for the scissors and glue you need to get yourself over to Potter & Butler. Pom poms, fringes, glitter and twine are all for the taking and you’re guaranteed a delicious, designer-looking cake as adorable as these…
Easy. And awesome. You see, weddings don’t have to be stressful ;)

Yesterday I spent a lovely few hours wandering amongst wedding stuff. Beautiful wedding stuff. It was Wedluxe magazine’s first show although I imagine it won’t be their last. There were lots of exceptionally talented people there but, whilst I sort through my photos to bring you one bumper blog post packed full of inspirational ideas, let me show you my favourite stand of the day…
It belonged to the Cake Opera Co., an incredible company I visited during a visit to Toronto in 2010 and wrote about here.
I love their unusual but completely awesome way of displaying their creations and how they managed to make such an impact in such a small space. I don’t know who thought up the idea of a pig in a party hat with a mouthful of cake and crystal eyes but I love it!
How they brought themselves to demolish that incredible cake though is beyond me. I know ultimately cakes are for eating but cakes like these? It’s like vandalising art!
More of the show coming up tomorrow :)

I love neon lights. All lights really. But neon lights? I really want to see some in weddings! I just think they’d make a amazing addition to a wedding portrait picture :) You could take the theme further though and add a splash of neon to the whole proceedings. And neon pink would be an excellent way to have a bold, bright and beautiful wedding!
So what do you think? Too much? Or could you see yourself adding a few fluorescent pops of colour to your big day?

Ooo I do love a proposal story, being a big, soppy romantic and all :) And this one involves a cake! Even better because I’m also a massive fan of cake…
Sarah loves to bake so when Andrew told her they were going to a promotion at a local bakery it didn’t raise any suspicions. But Andrew had secretly arranged for the bakery, The Designer Cookie, to bake him a very special cake for their visit…
Photographer Janet Kwan arrived before Andrew & Sarah and pretended to be doing a shoot for the bakery. She was there to capture Sarah seeing her cake and then turning to find Andrew on bended knee…
How excited and adorable does Sarah look?! I love love :)

Me and my lovely housemate Natasha made cupcakes for my birthday using recipes from one of my favourite baking websites: Ming Makes Cupcakes. I thought I should share it with readers in case any of you are looking to bake cupcakes for your wedding. There’s 33 cupcake recipes along with 6 cookie and 3 savoury ideas. I just love how the site is laid out with lots of white space that really draws your attention to the beautifully photographed, scrumptious looking cakes…
We went for ‘Graham Cupcakes with Key Lime Frosting’, ‘Vanilla Almond Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting’ and ‘Peanut Butter Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting and Chocolate Ganache’. And yes, they were all amazing! Mmmm :p
