Monday, July 7, 2008Natalie, the Cake Fairy, stopping by
 Hello everyone, Natalie here, dropping in to get acquainted. I’m the resident cake fairy of the Wedding Belles. You’ll find my story in “Winning the Single Mom’s Heart.” Yes, I know love is a natural by-product of my job and several of my co-workers are finding Mr. Right, too, but since I am so not interested in EVER marrying again, I’ll concentrate on my twin girls and my blossoming career.  Nothing is more fun to me than talking about designing the perfect cake, be it for a wedding or any other celebrations. But talking about cakes and baking them is all I can do because I’m a diabetic. No cake for me. Ironic, isn’t it? Wedding cakes are my specialty and I love the whole act of creating a show-piece that perfectly reflects the tastes and style of the bride and groom. Who cares if I can’t taste it? I can admire it! One time I designed a cake for a Goth wedding. Interestingly enough, the cake turned out beautifully, if a little on the untraditional side. Layered and covered in white fondant, vines of black bats twined down one side with a vampire topper. Truly a cake for those with different tastes, but so much fun to create. I’ve done theme cakes, Disney cakes, you name it. But some of the really fun ones are—well, a little bizarre. Once a bride wanted a glow-in-the-dark cake. No problem. The bridesmaids  ’ dresses glowed under the black light too. Many times, it’s the grooms who come up with inventive ideas for their cake. The most…er…interesting I ever did was for a groom who loved to fish. Somehow I could not imagine eating that open-mouthed, scaly green, bug-eyed fish. That one really did take the cake!What’s the most unusual or unique cake you’ve ever seen? Gotta run. My twins, Rose and Lily just snuck into the kitchen, and that always spells disaster! Until next time, “Let them eat cake!” Labels: cake tips, romance, unusual cakes, Wedding cakes
