Don't forget to buy your Valentines biscuits at Melissa's.

Cookie cutters

A while ago I received all my lovely new cookie cutters from the USA. Can't wait to start playing around with new designs!

Will post some pics of the new cookies asap.



Red & Blue

This is one of my favorite color combinations. Red is always that accent color I want to add to everything.

It's also a favorite for one of my brides: Anelle from Seven Swans wedding stationary. She had a regular feature on the cap classique blog about the whole planning process of her own wedding. Everything about this wedding just sounded wonderful. I was lucky enough to make some cookies for this very talented lady.

Below are the cookies that made part of Anelle's yummy cookie bar. The amaaaazing duo from welovepictures, were the photographers at their wedding. I'm absolutely dying to see the pics!

Xmas at Melissa's

I know haven't blogged in a while. My excuse: over 2000 cookies for Melissa's. Trust me, this kept me occupied for 2 weeks while trying to finish wedding cake orders as well. Lucky for me, I love what I do!

Don't forget to visit a Melissa's store near you for yummy Christmas goodies.

Nelle cakes will be launching a permanent cookie range at Melissa's in the New Year! Watch this space...

Love Hearts

I've been sourcing a lot of sweets for dessert tables lately and have come across these love heart sweeties again. I used to love those when I was little.

The love heart/secret message sweets gave me an idea for love heart cookies. These cookies could add a nice home made touch to a place setting or it can be changed into a personalized name tag for each guest. Make your own muslin cloth bags and give them away as favors.

Oh baby!

I've had quite a few babyshower and christening enquiries lately. Baby cakes are one my favourite things to decorate. You can have a lot of fun with themes, designs and color schemes. From pastel to bright, it all seems right! 

The cookies can be a nice gift for guests to take home and cupcakes are always a winner for tea parties.

Here are a few of my favourites.



Color of the year

I'm happy to share with you that Turquoise is Pantone's color of the year.

Not only is Turquoise one of my favourite colors, but its also the color of Nelle cakes. 

As Pantone explains: Turquoise is a universally flattering color that appeals to both men and women. It's inspired by sky & water. It reminds people of a tropical paradise and represents a comforting escape .With both warm and cool undertones, it pairs well with any other color.

Turquoise adds a splash of excitement to neutrals and browns, complements reds and pinks, creates a classic maritime look with deep blues, livens up all other greens, and is especially trend-setting with yellow-greens.

Here are some sweet things with different Turquoise undertones and color combinations. (I think it's quite obvious that I looove Turquoise)
