Christmas Giveaway

It's Christmas once again and it's time for giving.  I didn't have much energy to bake for every one in our workplace, just like what I did on my birthday, so I just made a list of who to give for Christmas.

11.11.11 My Brother's Wedding

When my youngest brother told us that they were tying the knot this year, I volunteered immediately to make their cake.  I was really excited because I was about to be finally given the opportunity to design my first wedding dessert table.

Cards (brother) and MJ (SIL) didn't ask for any specific design, they just wanted 5 small cakes for their ninongs and ninangs (sponsors), and a simple cake to cater to their small number of guests. 

I just asked MJ her favorite color.  I also asked them if they wanted to incorporate a touch of ragnarok (online game) theme into their cupcakes since that's where they met.  They both liked the idea, so there... :)

To add style to the upper part of the dessert table I added paper flowers hanging from the ceiling.

Then Marc spray painted our old basket with white to achieve a shabby chic appeal.  It's where we placed cookie giveaways.  We added the paper flower and hand made sugar flowers to enhance the design.

Btw... those sugar flowers were also hand made.

We originally planned for ragnarok characters as their cake topper, but the weather was weird making it difficult for the gumpaste to harden.  Designing and using cookies as bride and groom cake toppers saved me from more added work. :D

Here's an overall look of my first dessert table.

Right before the newly weds were about to drink their wine, the choco-banana truffles were all gone. =P~
