A few months ago Elise from Melipone Cakes asked me to photograph a Christening she was styling and baking for at the Royal Botanic Gardens Restaurant. The Botanic Gardens was an impressive if not lavish location to host a christening. Elise has an amazing gift when it comes to baking and decorating. The theme she came up with was around hot air balloons and vintage travel. She didn't want the usual aeroplanes or cars for boys, so kept those classic ideas and gave it a vintage twist with pinwheels made out of old maps and mini suitcases to hold all things sweet. For the occasion, she baked chocolate fudge cake pops, chocolate and vanilla hand painted hot air balloon cookies and salted caramel and white chocolate cupcakes. All of which I must say were some of the most mouthwatering desserts!! Even now while writing about these photos I took I can't stop but keep dreaming about having one of those cupcakes again.
