Hi Just Celebrate – I’m addictive to elements from nature whether it’s birds, nests, eggs…but even lady bugs, butterflies, and dragonflies. Oh My.

What’s next everyone?

What do you think of dogs, hounds, and terriers?

Dear SMP fans…Isn’t this wedding just the quintessential information traditional wedding with a bit of fun mixed in. That cake was unbelievable!!! One of my favorite and I want to address one of the questions. The sticks are small twigs that was inserted in fondant. The sticks were washed, cleaned, trimmed so it wasn’t “dirty”. I also purchased faux little birds which the baker inserted. I have to be honest, I cannot remember who did this cake. If I did, I would have shared it with you. And the bottom was a real wooden log. The bride purchased it and had it clean and coated. I believe that you can buy these at lumber stores. You do have to make sure it’s cut even so that the cake can rest on top of it.
One of my most favorite detail was the place card board. The bride got an idea from one of Martha’s old issues. And I did my own twist on it. It was super easy to do. I took foam board and adhere beautiful canvas fabric. The bride DIY her own escort cards by rubber stamping them. And she just wrote the names. One of my favorite details were those table numbers. LOVE Love Love!!! It’s easy to do. She also DIY them by gluing printed cards on soft and thin balsa wood. Enjoy!

I have a question – I asked my bakerie to make me a cake very similar to this one – albeit square. He threw a fit and kept saying “IT LOOKS LIKE A SUMMER PARTY CAKE” (my choice, not his) but moreover, “We cannot put that many twigs into an edible cake. You need to think of something else.” Are these twigs inserted directly into the cake? Or are they wrapped in florists wire on the bottom? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance. The wedding featured here is to die for – it is goregous
