A very dear friend sent a client to me for a consultation...
The young women looked over this blog and chose a few cakes that she liked, but wanted the final cake to have a clean and simple design.
The brides flowers were the "field flowers" of nature. I put together sprays of daisies, lavender, bramble, black-eyed susans, queen-anna lace, violets and posies.
My friend had stopped over the night before the wedding to catch up on our lives and mentioned in passing that she had been helping set-up the barn for the reception and it was all based on
The Wizard Of Oz.
I was thrilled to put this to use on the final cake. So at the base of each tier I used the yellow brick road. If I had this information prior, I would have also included the red poppy flowers from the movie.
It was a very rainy morning and a slight chill in the air when we went to deliver. Rain on a wedding day is good luck, however, rain is not good for sugar flowers. LOL
As we arrived and located the reception barn we were thrilled to see we could back up inside the building to unload the cake, therefore, avoiding any water damage to the sugar flowers.
First let me say, this location in all its rustiness was exquisite...gravel floor, long tables a wooden dance floor, strings of lights....just simple and elegant.
As I began putting the finishing touches to the cake I see a large picture of the "Field of Poppy's" that served as the backdrop for the cake table.
The bride also had cupcakes which just added to the overall presentation.
Simple, Elegant, BEAUTIFUL...
