little extras with your cake!

Posted by Doncrack Sunday, May 11, 2008

I think that it is so cute when people serve their cake with a little extra. Whether it is a flower, piece of chocolate, or a flag (as below), it makes the cake service a bit more personal.

This cute idea is from Nestie MirLove

Australiana Influences

Posted by Doncrack Thursday, January 31, 2008

Some of my favourite ideas for incorporating Australian themes into your wedding in Australia or abroad are:


1. Name the tables after Australian places, beaches, flowers, trees, animals, etc.

2. Serve Australian wine, beer and spirits (think bundaberg rum). Or give out mini-bottles as a favour.

3. Include an Australian cake theme or cake topper.

Sugar native flowers from the website sweetinspirations.com.au:

4. Include native Australian flowers in your bouquet or centerpieces.

5. Burn Eucalyptus scented candles. Give out Eucalyptus scented hand lotion as a favour, or take a cue from Princess Mary and include Eucalyptus in
your bouquet.

Princess Mary included Eucalyptus in her bouquet to represent her Australian roots during her wedding to Prince Frederik of Denmark.
