First off this adorable little painting. Quite a twist on a usual guestbook but really personal. Simply on a piece of black paper I wrote ' Please leave your Thumbprint and sign your name' and on a long piece of picture I drew a tree which I'm surprisingly proud off. I searched everywhere for a picture frame to fit the tree picture and my last resort was a canvas which is sightly ginormous and kind of defeats the purpose but it still will be a nice addition to the party.
Next up lighting..
Because it is outdoors (thanks to the beautiful June weather) candles are must for the evening and I decided to make some adorable tin lanterns from recycled bean cans. Using a drill I simply (not too simply) put a few holes throughout the can to give it a nice effect when lit. I was going to paint the cans and then remembered the Party was a Silver anniversary so decided to leave them silver.
I made about five and then tied some string through two of the holes, placed a candle in each can and then hung them along the fence.
Finally the cake. I used a basic sponge cake for this but used gluten free flour because of celiacs in the family. Its quite ridiculous the amount of eggs I used.
Take one Take Two
After adding a few silver ribbons, silver balls and a silver 25th candle (which took me forever to find) the cake was complete
Also the cake stands were from the original wedding cake 25 years ago.
