Edric & Xuezhen’s Pancake Stack
I asked them, “Why a pancake stack?”
Well cake is too heavy for a morning solemnization so a pancake stack it is!
This fluffy stack of pancakes is filled with vanilla creme patisserie and dark chocolate ganache. We made a strawberry and raspberry compote and filled a jar with honey to place on the side for guests to take however much they want. I personally like to drench my pancakes with syrup, but that’s just me!
Deciding on the colors for the couple usually isn’t the easiest task. Everything that you can find on the net is usually pretty much a carbon copy of each other.
I really enjoy creating cakes with whatever I have and with whatever is in season! Many people don’t realize that depending on where you are, what season it is, whether it’s a busy holiday, will give you different flowers. The best possible way to work around this is to choose a colour scheme and not the type of flower, unless you’re willing to pay an exorbitant amount for choice.
That’s the pancake stack! Congratulations to the lovely couple again!

Buttercream Flowers
I just love buttercream flowers and have been obsessed with them lately and trying to get more natural colours other than the usual pastel blues/pinks and really bright fuschia or yellow. I find that if you were to use these colours, it’s best to try to fill the piping bag with two colours instead to make it look as natural as possible. Am still learning and always will be but I’m happy to share this with everyone for now!
Been toying around with the idea of holding a workshop for these piping methods. Will update this space again soon!
