gorgeous kitchen tea part 2

in addition to enjoying an amazingly beautiful afternoon tea, the guests also made bath tea bags! this is such a great idea for an activity!

romi explained- "guests were given a little instruction card to make up their own mixtures of bath teas or they could follow our suggested recipes .... we had oatmeal, lavender, rose petals, goats milk powder, lemon verbena, orange peel, epsom salts and jugs of various yummy essential oils. The idea was they could mix, blend and create whatever fragrance they liked. I then heat sealed the bags and gave back to them (in the little brown heart bags you see pictured) to enjoy in their baths at home. It was a huge success!!"

*sigh* i am still sighing over these photos!!

bridal shower

i have been looking forward to this one for ages! we were asked to put together a small cake table and favours for a bridal shower held at The Tea Room Gunners Barracks. we were given the design breif of blue, apricot and birds.

nathalie custom designed the perfect invitation which made it easy for me to design some cute matching birdcage cookies. i have wanted to make a peony sugar flower for ages, i love blue and apricot and have had this cake design in my head for a while now. i sourced some cute vintage milk glass vases from etsy and cake stand from a local antique store. i then just got mixed 'nanna style' flowers to suit the old fashioned milk glass look.

it was all really beautiful and the venue is gorgeous. i was really happy with how it all turned out, i just wish the lighting was a bit nicer (and i had a bit more time) to get some better photos- oh well, that always seems to happen!

a sweet engagement cake

i delivered this sweet cake for an engagement party today. i was given the following pictures as inspiration and so i thought that heart shaped balloons and little heart trails would look really cute!
