Happy new month.
Here are a few things I plan each month:
My blog posts
My social media posts
Graphics to create.
Ongoing courses to complete 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Email newsletters to send.
Any promotion to carryout.
Any special days to participate via sales.
Any online course to create or promote.
Online businesses need planning and strategies else you’ll just be spinning your wheels. Take time to plan each month.
There are so many designs used in nigerian traditional wedding cakes. These cake designs are completely different from white or church wedding cake designs.
One of such design is the palmwine gourd or calabash cake.
Most brides love the gourd filled with palmwine and sometimes , spilling.
Palmwine most be present at EVERY traditional wedding in Nigeria.
In the olden days, the palmwine was usually served from a gourd/calabash.
This design is our signature cake design. We make the finest calabash cakes.
This cake was ordered for a church service group’s thanksgiving celebration for 2017. This is a small calabash cake complete with fondant garden eggs and fondant kolanut.
They ordered the calabash filled with “wine” cake to depict their joy in the Lord for a successful year (2017).
I absolutely loved working with this bride.
This was a 12″ floral overlay fondant cake with small palmwine gourd cake.
The coral beads, palmwine cup, kolanuts, garden eggs and calabash bearing the kolanuts were all made of fondant.
The cake board was covered with gold fondant to match the wedding colours.
A simple plaque adorned the cake.
Simple traditional wedding cake.
I forgot to take pictures of the cake at home so I took some at the wedding.
It might not be obvious but cake board was embossed with cobblestone impression mat.
Someone saw this picture and thought it was a real calabash!
This cake was a vanilla cake made for a traditional wedding ceremony.
All the fondant were homemade.
All colours were Wilton colours.
The cake was set on a 10″ board.
Months later, I got a feedback from the bride’s mom, who actually ordered the cake, that the cake was very delicious and the groom was so pleased.
