My Sister and I were born in April. Often we celebrated our birthdays together, even though hers is 5 days before mine. When we became adults, and started owning homes and planting gardens, we came up with the perfect saying/planting plan for our fickle mountain climate. It goes something like this: It ALWAYS snows on or around our birthday time: April 10-15, so no planting tender stuff before then. This year we had snow on the 15th. Actually, I don't plant the tender stuff until after Mother's Day. Anyway, that doesn't keep me from making flowers in April, as I did today. I adapted a design from an earlier square cakie, but put it on round ones. Then, I played around with roses and white forget-me-nots and leaves. I think they are kinda cute, and perfect for spring, snow or not! Happy Spring! I Love Making Weecakies!
I have been in heaven for the past few weeks making these Everafterflora for a sweet friend for her wedding. First of all, I was thrilled that she would trust me with her flowers, and second, I rediscovered skills learned over 40 years ago. One of my favorite jobs from my past was that of apprentice florist. I learned the basics of corsage making with fresh flowers, and those skills magically came back to me while I was making these boutonnieres,corsages,and wrist corsages. These flowers and leaves are all hand-made and custom-colored, a skill that I recently acquired. They are as light as a feather, will not crush, fade, bruise, or die like live flowers do. Everafterflora are a permanent keepsake of your special day. By the way, there are 10 groomsmen boutonnieres, 2 father boutonnieres, 2 mother's corsages and 12 bridesmaid's wrist corsages. It was loads of work, but I was truly in heaven. Happy Wedding Sara and Krys!
Love,
Weecakies
There's nothing I like better than making wedding cakes for those I love. This cake is a simple buttercream design, with fresh flowers on top. The cake itself was fresh lemon with fresh strawberries in the middle. The day was wonderful for Alex and her mom, Tami. Thank you for allowing me to help make your dreams come true. I LOVE making cake!
