Ladies in Lavender - Granny's Cakes
I'm not a fan of the colour purple, but my Granny was. Actually, she would have called it lilac or lavender... never purple! When I think of ladies in lavender, I think of fragile, elderly ladies with rouged pink cheeks and walking sticks. That certainly wasn't Granny!
This week marks the anniversary of her death in 1997. So when I baked cakes for Sunday tea I used lavender cupcake cases and purple frosting for Granny.
Our family got hit by a double whammy that fateful week in November 1997. Within 24 hours Granny's youngest sister passed away too. It was sad to loose them both but I can't help thinking how lovely it was that they made that journey together.
And I know, if there is Sunday tea where they are now, they would be tucking into lilac frosted cupcakes and gossipping with all the other ladies in lavender!

These are just beautiful, and I love the different icing designs you did. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks D. This was my first attempt at using a piping bag to frost cupcakes. I know my technique needs improving but it was great fun.

I didn't know your Dad's favorite color was purple! Green is a great color, too. I can't decide what my favorite color is but Uncle Andy likes blue.
