Dotty About...Naked Wedding Cakes

I have been asked by a lovely Bride and Groom to provide them with a "naked" cake! After doing a bit of internet research on what exactly is a "naked" cake (and can I also add, skimming through some very dodgy pictures - thanks Google image search!) I am now fully furnished with the knowledge that a naked cake is ... well like Ronseal actually ("Exactly what it says on the Tin")

In order to save your precious eyes Dotty-lovers, here is the lo-down.

P.S. Pics of my own "Naked" Cake to follow xx

Dotty About...Pretty Pastels

Is it the arrival of Spring which has turned on the pastel loving fiend in me?

I don't know what has become of me lately, but I used to wince at the sight of a subdued, muted pastel colour, and now, put enough of them together, and I just can't get enough. Subdued! Pah! Delightfully lively I would now say, with expressions used such as:

  • Candy Floss

  • Sorbet

  • Sugary

  • Icing
  • I was reading an article in Country Homes & Interiors magazine about ceramics designer, Julie Pettitt who likes to incorporate all these things into her ceramics to make them look good enough to eat! They sure do!

    Here are some pastel inspirations to whet your appetite for all things peach, lemon and teal:
