Cakes!

OK, here are some of the gorgeous cake ideas I've seen online. Don't know Katie's preferences yet, but the wedding colours are cranberry and gold and I have to say I'm partial to either all white cakes with flowers or else cakes with chocolate.

Chocolate and white layers. Mmm, can you imagine tiramisu or raspberry filling?












Here's one with the right colour scheme. Again, raspberry filling would work nicely. Or chocolate. Or custard. Mmm...











I'll keep adding as I come across ideas Katie might like,
such as a cupcake tree! OK, technically these are petit fours, but same difference!

Setting Up a Trial Blog

Living in Colombia, it's a bit difficult to coordinate with other members of the bridal party back home in Canada.

Wait, wait...

Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm the maid of honour for my sister, Katie's, wedding in September. She's got a ton of great support in our hometown of Thunder Bay, but I'm a bit homesick and feeling really left out, so I wanted to try a new way of a) keeping myself occupied; b) staying in the loop and letting others in the bridal party stay in the loop; and c) keeping organized!

There are so many emails back and forth to Katie with links or embedded photos to wedding dresses or cake or decorating ideas, there's no way to keep track of them! And my computer's cluttered with all the downloaded photos that I'd like to show her but the internet connection here is too spotty or the links are duds... *sigh*

But! *cheers up* A blog might be the answer to all my woes. And if not, I can always delete it, right? Right!

So, on with the show!
