Monopoly Bar Mitzvah Cake & Cookies

It was my son's Bar Mitzvah party yesterday and his party had a Monopoly theme; all the tables were given name places and were colour coded accordingly. Instead of name place cards, I made name place cookies... 140 in total!! Here's just a very small selection... Vanilla butter cookies and royal icing decoration.  And, of course, the cake - a labour of love.

Daniel did so well and we are all so very, very proud of him.

Wedding Cake 'Maria'

 

My very warmest congratulations to Maria and Hayden who were married today at Orsett Hall Hotel. Maria chose a pearl/champagne highly lustred cake with white royal icing damask stencil decoration finished with edible pearls, which complemented the gold accents of her decoration perfectly. With the bottom tier a light vanilla sponge with jam & buttercream; the 2nd tier zesty lemon sponge with lemon curd buttercream; and the top two tiers chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream, there is something for everyone!

    

 

 The bride hired a lovely set up for the table... I haven't seen this before, but it was really effective! On the actual table, was a 'separator' - and on top of that was glass or acrylic top the same size as the table, that the cake stand/cake sat upon. Between the table and the topper were silk flowers, pearls, etc.  I'm not sure my photographs do it justice, but it was really pretty and very unusual indeed!

 

As well as the wedding cake, I also made personalised cookie favours - a lovely way to combine table gifts and name place cards!
