Back to the 60s

Wednesday, 16 October 2019

With a little bit of time on my hands (ok lots), I made a wedding cake for Clare's mum and dad's 50th wedding anniversary.  They were married in the 1969, so the theme of the celelebration was of course the 60s. It was good fun.

For my costume I borrowed Denny's boots, and adjusted a hitherto unworn dress I owned - including adding a fabric flower with the offcuts.  I had Zali do my hair in 60s puffy style..

I was happy with the end result..

The evening was really nice. There was lots of 60s style finger food on offer which reminded me of the only cookbook I remember from my youth - a big old volume with strangely tinted colour photographs and pages like this..(that's a meat loaf igloo btw)

 I'm not sure if they were truly a 60s innovation but a few people brought along curried egg sandwiches which were delicous. I stuck to them and stayed away from the squid tentacles on toothpicks and pigs in blankets. Ugg.
