July 2014

When I entered Rachel Hill’s kitchen she had been baking cupcakes and cakes and was still in the process of decorating the cakes. She had the cupcakes decorated with white frosting and a little bit of pink sugar and tiny silver balls. I’m sure there must be a name for these little silver balls but in the absence of being able to think what they are called we will call them little silver balls. The cupcakes were arranged on a board in the shape of a wedding dress. How clever! These cupcakes were going to be served at a wedding shower. The picture of this arrangement is included with Rachel’s article today. She was also decorating sheet cakes but was only applying the first layer of frosting to these. So I have no more of a description of these cakes. I’m sure they turned out beautiful! She also showed me some cookies that had been cut out, baked and decorated. Rachel and Scott Hill were married in December of 2012. They met through mutual friends.
