Tropical Bowl Arrangement

I thought I would post something cheery to help with your Monday-itis.  After my weekend, I think I needed it too.

This is my big tropical arrangement from last Thursday. The difficulty is steadily increasing in our practical work at school. The arrangements are getting bigger and the time we need to complete them in is getting shorter. I brought this bowl in from home, it’s kind of shaped like a peanut which was, well..challenging. The flowers in the arrangement consist of oriental lilies, gerberas, bird of paradise & some funny purple things I can’t remember the name of, I think they look like toilet brushes. All the foliage was foraged from the garden & to be honest..a few other people’s gardens too! (I don’t think they would mind)

I think I am getting better & more confident in my choices every day. I am currently seeking work experience & am really looking forward to getting some more practical experience on the job. If there are any Gold Coasters reading with upcoming weddings, the school and I may be able to help with cost price wedding arrangements. Email shannon@bakeandbloom.com for more info.

We do have a wedding project coming up soon which is very exiting.

On the baking front Mr Bake & Bloom & I are embarking on a bit of a detox at the moment, you may notice a couple of yummy healthy recipes splashed about here & there but I promise there will be plenty of buttery treats as well.

Have a sunny Monday xoxo Shannon
