Claret & Ivory

Claret & Ivory, a photo by Scrumptious Buns (Samantha) on Flickr.

I quickly photographed the Giant Cupcake and some of the Rose topped cuppies before I left for the venue... Hunters Hall, Swanton Morley, is notoriously dark with no natural light at all in the marquee... resulting in pretty awful photographs of the Cupcake Tower once set up :0( ... Ivory cakes photograph so much better in natural light... usually, I take them outside under the gazebo and photograph them there as the gazebo eliminates any dark, harsh shadows resulting in a great photo... as you'll see when I post the pic of the tower (in the marquee) the quality is very different!

Anyhoo... this is a Madagascan vanilla top cake, baked in the Wilton tin, then popped in a white chocolate mould and frosted with rose swirls. All handmade roses... love this colour scheme!
