be blushless

make your cupcakes rock

Autumne from Our Punk Rock Wedding shared her DIY cupake decoration on her blog:
“This may sound kind of ridiculous but we couldn’t afford the colorful frosting for our vegan cupcakes. I have no idea why colorful frosting costs more. It just does. Instead, I decided to print out 120 tiny little album covers that have been meaningful to Graham and I, glue them on popsicle sticks, and put them in each cupcake.
We also didn’t want to spend $40 on a cardboard cupcake stand so Graham made one out of records.
Yeah, we’re kind of music nerds. Don’t judge.”

Of course not! I love the idea and it looks really fun. Extra points for all the great ideas and for the VEGAN cupcakes
and for being cool.

about cake

This cake looks so very delicious, I love the homemade not perfect shape.
Plus I am a fruit addict and the berries on top really turn me on.

Liv dislikes cakes that look like design objects, have weird colors or look
clean and boring. Liv likes cakes that look like food and yummy and they
make you eat them with a big spoon or even hands.
I am not a big cake fan in general, I would prefer tons of fresh ripe fruit.
But I like the image of having a huge cake at a wedding for fun.
I like black cake and fruit pies better than classic fancy cakes filled with cream. The one on the picture above could change my mind.

Still dreaming about sunshine and beaches Liv did a little reserch on
Caribbean wedding traditions and found something delicious.
An Island wedding cake is unique to all the world.

Tradition calls for a BLACK CAKE, with the recipe handed down from mother to daughter and improved upon by each succeeding generation.
Isn’t this great? I am totally into this kind of traditions that includes the magic of a secret, even if its just a cake recipe!

The basic ingredients of an Island wedding cake include a pound of flour, a pound of brown sugar, a pound of butter, and a pound of glazed cherries, raisins, prunes, currants, and a dozen fresh eggs.
The cake is traditionally served with a HARD RUM SAUCE and all of the dried fruits are soaked in rum in a crock pot for anywhere from two weeks to one year.

That sounds delicoius.
I am addicted to many black food & drinks like coffee, licorice and cola light (yeah I know its discusting!)
After the reception the new couple often spend a week in seclusion in a home provided by the groom, or they may travel to a nearby island and spend a glorious week together before returning to their home to start their new life together.

Island weddings are known as very up-beat celebrations. Who can listen to the melodious and haunting sound of the steel drum without the romance of the tropics washing over their soul?

Ola Brazil!!
I noticed last week that there are quite a few of you reading this from sunny Brazil! This got me thinking and after a little
research I found this SWEET BRAZILIAN WEDDING CUSTOM:
Bem Casodos or Well-Marrieds!
Its the most traditional sought-after dessert at weddings in Brazil.
Each Bem Casado is artfully made and is light, soft, airy and filled with smooth, home-made caramel bathed in a special sweet sauce.
I can’t wait to attend an brazilian (inspired) wedding, sounds delicious!
The packaging is also incredible.

They come in all colors and materials you can imagine:
Little baskests,napkins, paperboxes, wrapped in lace and beautiful fabircs, with bows, little cards or flowers. Many shops offer them custom-made to the theme or colorscheme of the wedding. Some are kitschy some very very nice.
Each treat represents two united parts sealed by sweet love, support and mutual respect.
According to legend, everyone who tastes them will be blessed with the happiness of newlyweds, Abraços!
so make a wish before you take a bite.
