The International Day of Pink is set up as an International Day against bullying, discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, and transmisogyny in cities and towns all across the world. (taken from the website above)

I love the colour pink, my favourite colour. What does the colour pink mean?

It is a nostalgic, playful, and nurturing colour. There are many different shades of pink from baby pink to cerise pink. Do you like the colour pink? what is your favourite colour? Pink is a summery colour, I think, clean looking and looks good on both men and women. It also contrasts with black, especially in the winter months. I like pink clothes, handbags and shoes.

Pink Cakes Confectionery and Training

I love creating pink cakes. The one below has fresh roses and macaroons on for an 80th birthday and I was told she loved it, which was great. It was a plain vanilla cake with Madagascan vanilla flavouring, raspberry conserve and a white chocolate pink drip. This is easy to achieve if you make sure the drip is the right consistency before putting it on. I would leave the drip to set for a few hours or overnight before putting the decoration on, especially in the warmer weather.

Above,  is another one of my favourite pink cakes. This one again is a vanilla cake with Madagascan vanilla buttercream with Raspberry conserve. It has Belgian white chocolate and raspberry shards on with fresh roses and carnations and a gold cake topper for decoration. A stunning cake, she loved it and didn’t want to cut it
To finish off I am wearing pink today as I love the colour, are you?
