My wedding forks and cake server on Ruffled Wedding blog!

A few months ago, I was contacted by Amy from All & Sundry, a wedding planner in Vancouver, asking me to provide a pair of wedding forks and a cake server for a wedding photo shoot they were planning. I happily agreed, and for the best, as the photo shoot was published on Ruffled, one of the more well-curated and inspirational wedding blogs out there!

You can see the whole photo shoot here.

What a great experience, thanks again Amy!!!

Let them eat cake

Isn't this quote perfect for a cake server?!

It is said that Marie-Antoinette said it during one of the famines during her husband's reign, Louis XVI. When she was informed that the people did not have bread to eat, she uttered "Let them eat cake" or "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche".

Brioche has eggs and butter, and this showed Marie-Antoinette's obliviousness for the poor.

However, there is no record that this sentence was ever uttered by her, but it makes a nice story!
