Piece of Cake

Our really good friends, Ruba & Ahmed, recently got married; so I decided to prepare a housewarming gift for them. I wanted to do it myself for a more personal touch. Well, after going through my thinking and planning phase, I thought I’d try my luck in creating my very first towel cake; I wanted it to look very wedding-ish...

So I went towel shopping yesterday... and after experimenting with all the towels in the store, I bought two large (150x85cm) creamy-coloured towels with an embedded floral pattern. These worked perfectly for what I had in mind!

I then had to decide on a colour that would add an accent to my 2-tier creamy cake. Rich carmine (deep red) was the answer! I used it in my lace ribbons and big blooming roses (fake, though they looked so real)... I also needed a base for my cake; so I got this simple (yet elegant) silver cake stand that worked perfectly with the rest of the cake style.

I was so excited to get home and start working on my first towel cake; and gladly, it was a piece of cake! The result was amazing; everything worked beautifully together… even better than I thought…

To Ruba & Ahmed… May the best of your yesterdays be the worst of your tomorrows. May your marriage bring you love, health, kids, wealth, joy… and the best of the very best…

And last but not least; learn to compromise, for as Ludwig Erhard said "A compromise is the art of dividing a cake in such a way that everyone believes he has the biggest piece" *hint hint*.
