Sugar & Spoon Events

 Do you remember how I told you about my sister-in-law, the one who I made a wedding cake for...  well that was about nine months ago.

And...  you guessed it now she and her lovely husband are having a baby. 

Last weekend was the baby shower and it was the first event to be put together by Sugar & Spoon, a collaboration between myself and Amy from Oh My. 

I only managed to snap a few pics, between assembling cucumber sandwiches and making pots of french earl grey tea. But it really was a beautiful day. 

And I just hope they had as much fun as we did.

Cucumber Sandwiches

About a year ago my lovely sister-in-law asked me if I would make a cake for her wedding.  I also offered to make one for another dear friend who was to marry the weekend before my sister-in-law.

So in my two week uni holidays last september I spent over forty hours in our tiny little kitchen. I made 12 separate cake layers, used over three and half kilos of white chocolate and I am sure almost my own weight in butter. 

But the truth is, I had so much fun. 

...and now, a year later, I am going to get baking again for two lovely sisters who are both getting married this year.

On the weekend, I had the girls and their partners over for some cake tasting and afternoon tea, including some delicious, fancy tea sandwiches.

I was given the recipe by the lovely Amelia Ruby from The Tea Parlour in Sydney and believe me they are simply divine.
