Grey Mood Board

Since I'm on the grey subject, I decided to make an inspiration board for a grey farm feast.

Shades of grey




It seems like the color for weddings this season is grey. I've already had 5 wedding cakes which had mostly grey in it and there is still a few more to come. Whether it's a dove grey or charcoal it somehow maneuvers itself into a lot of people's color schemes. I love it! Especially grey cakes with white decorations.

First up is a cake which was one of my favorites from last wedding season.

Featured on Pasella

Nelle Cakes was featured on Pasella last night. Yay!

I had a wonderful time working with Jaco from Just Jack, Jo-lize from Floral Affairs, Carla from Secret Diary, the students from The Aleit Academy and of course everyone from Pasella (they have a lot of patience, is all I can say) It was an amazing team, who together created two beautiful tables for this shoot.

For those who missed it last night, here's some pics from the shoot. Photographs were taken by Inecke Photography. I will try to get a clip and then post it on my blog.

Charlotte & Carlo

Last weekend was one of my childhood friends' wedding. We go way back...I mean playing Barbie, way back.

Charly was the one that designed my website. This time I had the privilage to design something for her. They wanted red velvet cupcakes, so I had to come up with some decorations for these yummy desserts to fit in with the rest of the theme. Their beautiful wedding invitations (which Charlotte made) was the inspiration behind these. The wedding reception was at The Conservatory in Franschoek. Stunning venue!

Keep a look out for some of the wedding pics on Du Wayne Denton's blog. I know I can't wait to see it! They also had a couple shoot with Lizelle Lotter (who took the pics for my website) Take a look at this pretty amazing shoot on her blog.

Till then have a peek at some of the cake and venue pics that I took.
