Engagement and wedding cakes are typically white in colour. This one is no different. However, instead of the usual flowers on the top kinda deal, I toyed around with the idea of making sugar laces. Those intricate edible laces can dress up a cake so beautifully, but I bet they won't be so easy to make.
After mulling over it for a while, I decided to take the plunge. Since I'm not done with all my baking just yet (!!!) I'll save the recipe and instructions for a separate post. I'll keep this one short and sweet, with pictures of the end result:
And some photos of the tedious yet so satisfying process:

Omaigod you are so good! I've been your silent reader for more than a year. What attracted me first was your writing style. Then I like the way you decorated your house. Everything about the kids is of course an interesting read. You are really a wonderful woman. I wonder how one woman can kill them all; an engineer, a wife, a mother, a writer, an interior designer, an event organiser, a baker.. Keep writing Liz =)
