The RSVP event, the UK's largest event dedicated to the Corporate Party and Special Events industry took place on the 2nd and 3rd of April at the Business Design Centre in Islington. The show was a huge success and the energy and buzz generated was fantastic. Among other things, it allows event planners to source hundreds of brand new exhibitors ranging from the quirky to the fabulous.
Elizabeth's Emporium partnered with the Powder Puff Girls (http://www.thepowderpuffgirls.com/), who are a team of talented and fabulous beauty professionals. They offer a unique and original service that can be adapted to suit any event. Founded by former ballet dancer and make up artist, Katie Reynolds, they were winners of the RSVP 'What's Hot' 2007 award. Most visitors to their stand could choose to have a manicure, get their make up done and also leave with one of our individually packaged, canape sized luxurious chocolate cupcakes.
The feedback we got was incredible, and some people were almost afraid to bite into the cupcakes because they looked soo beautiful. Katie however convinced them to take a bite as they tasted even better than they looked!
I also got some feedback from Wedgwood about their bridal window this week. The store manager rang me to say that never in all her time working at the store have they had so many people enquiring and registering for tableware. She also had a large number of enquiries about our cakes in the window, so here's hoping!
Continuing from where we left off last week, The A to Z of Wedding Cakes:
K for Kids
If you will be inviting a lot of children to your wedding consider having a separate table for them with their own mini wedding cake or individual cupcakes. You can also prepare a goody bag for each child to take with them at the end of the party. Another great idea might be to hire a children's entertainer to keep them amused for a few hours. It is gestures like this that help to make your wedding memorable to both the parents and the children.
L for Leftovers
In the old days, it was customary for brides to save the top tier of their wedding cake for their first wedding anniversary or the birth of their first child. To preserve the cake properly, first double wrap it in clingfilm, and then double wrap it with foil and place in a suitable container in the deepest part of your freezer. Some brides may choose to send cake samples to family and friends who could not be at the wedding or some ethically conscious brides send theirs to homeless shelters (however you have to make sure that this is acceptable for health and safety reasons).
