Steph Fowler is Superfine

Recently Steph Fowler of Steph Fowler Photography called us asking for a dreamy cake at an engagement shoot in a local public garden. The style was to be a little Alice in Wonderland meets Midsummer Night's Dream. I've had a very large cake design along those lines in my head for a while now, so I thought I'd use the opportunity (and Steph's very trusting attitude with the design) to try my hand at sculpting a couple of dragonflies and playing around with my new airbrush. Above is the resulting cake.

I started with a layer of lavender fondant then airbrushed it with violet and silver. This cake is impossibly shimmery in the light, but unfortunately no camera can pick up glitter or shimmer. I've tried -- it looks like the cake is wet. Ew. I finished the decor with tall grass and leaves, and little silver dots to mimic fireflies or stars. Just tryin' to keep it classy dreamy. :)

Though she has a very flexible style, Steph shows off her soft and other-worldly eye for this vintage shoot. This couple is so beautiful among the flowers, tea cakes and amazing stands and containers scattered along the table. The three-tier stands are courtesy of Orange and Blossom's High Tea for Alice line available on Etsy. Always charming and perfect.

We can't wait to see what Steph comes up with next, and thank her for including us in her lovely shoot. :)
