Ahhhh!

Driving along the picturesque but scarily-icy roads on Friday, I was too busy listening to the soporific voice of the woman inside my new Sat-Nav ("Turn around where possible!" "Turn around where possible!") to be able to concentrate much on the magnificent scenery of the North Downs Way.

I was on my way to the wedding of the lovely Lucetta who was marrying Glenn at an amazing hotel at Newlands Corner.
And here are the happy couple, having just plighted their troth.....

Ahhhhh!


It was a fabulous wedding - with people of all ages having fun and my enduring memory of the day is one of laughter.
Here's a picture of the cake I made for the newly-weds.

Regular readers of this blog may remember that I also made a cake for Lucetta's mother's wedding (what a lot of apostrophes!) almost a year ago. No-one can say they aren't a romantic family!


And here I am with not only an extravagent confection of feathers on my head.....

But also a handful of golden glitter which was thrown on my hair by my god-daughter!
Well, it was a glittering kind of day...

Have you done anything glittery recently?

    Ooh, not like you have no!It's all been very dull and cold here.

    I'm extremely impressed with the cake, Sharon, are there no end to your talents? The wedding looked gorgeous and so did you.

    Lots of love,

    Rach.

    Thanks, Rach - it was an amazing day.

    Sharon, it looks like you had a fabulous time. And the happy couple look very much in love. Nice work on the cake!

    I'm looking forward to something glittery this coming weekend. I'll be attending a wedding reception at the posh Peninsula Hotel in downtown Chicago. I've known the groom for years and his bride-to-be is one of the nicest people I've met. I think it's going to be a spectacular event; I'm looking forward to it.

    Dan - please report back on this wonderful-sounding wedding - using as many superlatives as possible, if you would!

    Heather, don't push it!

    Caroline - thanks for the kind words.

    Joaanna - yes, the topper was a hoot. It shows the bride dragging the groom by the scruff of his neck and bought from Jane Asher (she makes great cakes!). And yes, I checked with the bride's mother before I bought it!
