Scandinavian chic - Lovebirds - a photo on Flickriver

            Here's the "Scandinavian Chic / Lovebirds" cake that I made for the wedding fayres I'm doing this week. Because wedding cakes don't have to always be white, you know!

Have had an idea that I'd wanted to do something along the lines of red/white Scandi-chic for some time now (Swedish influences have come into my life in recent years thanks to the Swedish fiancé of my best pal - it's not all Abba and Ikea); an accidental over-order of red paste in the summer gave me the perfect excuse to execute it. The design evolved along the way, partly due to the lovely ribbon that I found to go around the base.

I love red and white together - it can look so clean, especially when the red is matt finish. We have red and white stitched decorations over the fireplace at Christmas along similar lines, which was also a source of inspiration. I also think that this would look equally effective in midnight blue/white.

I made 2 matching gingerbread favour designs to accompany this wedding cake - realised in uploading these pics that I've forgotten to photograph them, so will get these up later.
