Congratulations to Caz & Jan who got married on Friday. It was one of the nicest weddings I have been to (and I am not saying that because I am mad about the two of them). Both are amazing people and they made sure that everyone had a good time at their wedding. Caz looked simply beautiful and guess, Jan was the envy of every man in that church :-)
The ceremony was performed in St. Patrick's Church, Lower Glanmire Road and the reception afterwards was held at Fleming's Restaurant in Tivoli. Both are foodies so it was important that the food was exceptional - and it was. Caz & Jan are both very laid back people and they didn't want the seating plan and formal dinner - so they arranged for a BBQ at Flemings. And Michael Fleming did not disappoint. The food was amazing - I was lucky to grab a bit of the lobster - with all tastes catered for.
I was very honoured when Caz & J
an asked me to create the wedding cake for them. Let me tell you, I didn't sleep for about a week - I was so worried that they might not like it. True in their style, they didn't want a traditional wedding cake but 3 layers combining a chocolate biscuit layer cake, a Dutch spiced apple cake and the smallest one a fruit cake but no icing.....both don't like sugarpaste.....I am not the best in getting chocolate very smooth but I tried my best. Testing all kind of ganaches I came finally up with a lovely mixture that worked. Eve St Leger of Eve's Chocolate was a big help as she tried and tested some mixtures for me as well. Her chocolates are just amazing and there is nothing this woman doesn't know about chocolate.
Anyhow, Caz' favourite colour is purple and her favourite flowers are orchids, so it became clear very quickly that I am using these 2 components. Thankfully, they loved the cake and I was a very happy woman.
I also made the invitations, printed the boxes for her favours and made chocolates for the favours. I was happy to add to the sparkle of the wedding - 2 of my best friends had a marvellous day and I wish them all the best for the future :-)....by the way, I can also be hired as wedding planner :-)
