It seems to be a long time between drinks, or blog posts these days. I feel neglectful and wish I was able to spend more time sharing my baking adventures and doing some overdue housekeeping here in Mama Bear’s Kitchen. But alas, real life beckons and I must answer her call. As you all know, our son’s wedding is drawing ever nearer. As life would have it, there also seems to be a lot of our young friends planning weddings in the next six months and (bless this Mama Bear’s heart), I have the privilege of helping most of them out with their cakes, dessert tables and styling. To say I am super excited would be an understatement!! I am loving the opportunity to do my thing and bless these young brides by helping them create the wedding of their dreams!! OH what joy.
Last weekend I made this 50th birthday cake for one of my dearest, most treasured friends. Every stoke of the spatula was made with loads of love as I created this two tiered buttercream cake as part of a surprise morning tea for my friend. The bottom tier was one of her favourites, mango and white chocolate, and the top tier was lime and pistachio with a white chocolate buttercream frosting. I found these way too cute giant chocolate freckle numbers which I thought would make the perfect finishing touch to the cake.
My spatula will be getting a workout for the rest of the year, so have patience with me and stay tuned to see more of my creations as wedding fever hits!! xx
Don’t forget you can follow me on Instagram (mamabears_kitchen) to see snippets of my cakes and styling ventures.
