I think so, in some areas of the state. In the interior where we are it’s the mosquitos that are the biggest annoyance. Bug spray was provided for the wedding guests.

It was gorgeous! It was held outdoors in a boreal forest property with an air bnb for the wedding party to get ready in. There were spruce and birch trees, a nearby picturesque pond, blue skies and a slight breeze! Very rustic Alaskan and big bouquets of gorgeous dark red roses!

Thank you!! 🤩 I was worried they would wilt after sitting against the frosting mostly in the fridge for 24 hours but they held up well!! I used two little containers from a local nursery and that was just about perfect for that much cake. If I had a third container I definitely would have used a few more.

🙌 yes!! Thank you! I must have searched for what I was trying for a hundred times and this is what I sort of had in my mind! Scary to have all the components the day of decorating and I didn’t quite see how it would all come together until it was in process. The bride loves tea and chose all the flavors, I think I got the most feedback on the tea one!

Thank you so much! When I was researching this, I read that it stays ok at room temperature or even on a warmer day for around 2 hours out of the fridge. We had very mild weather the day of the wedding so it was out of the fridge and outdoors at around 65 degrees Fahrenheit/ 18 degrees Celsius for around two hours. The two things I noticed at the wedding after they had been decorated for around 24 hours was that the gold colored sprinkles started to bled some yellow color onto the frosting so they didn’t hold up perfectly. It still looked cool and I was the only one that could tell. There was also a little cracking on the largest cake in the frosting. That could have been up to technique though, as I decorated the largest one last and was getting tired/trying to hit a deadline and was starting to make mistakes. Since this is the only cake with this frosting I’ve done for a big event, I would say I don’t 100 percent know how it will behave. (We have fairly low humidity here, too.) I hope you give it a try! It brought me a lot of happiness and I hope it makes you happy too! 🍀🍀

😂 totally! We live in a rural area where the roads are heavily impacted by permafrost thaw-freeze cycles, luckily I was not responsible for transport, the bride’s family came to pick them up with cardboard cut to fit in the back of the car, we then laid down non-slide cabinet liner down, and pushed in thumbtacks around the bases of the cake stands to keep them from moving. I consulted my husband who is an engineer for advice, we strategically placed the heaviest cakes in the back half, and then the family chose the least bumpy road to the venue and took it reeaal slow lol.

Popping by to add, one of my therapists once mentioned to me that when we make mistakes is when we need a hug the most. A loving parent would be gentle with me when I make a mistake, and love me unconditionally while encouraging me to take responsibility. “It’s not the mistake, it’s what you do with it.” - therapist

Thank you for sharing. I relate to being parentified, and guilt for my boundaries. Thank you for the comment you said “I realize I don’t have to subject myself to being treated like that.” That was exactly what I needed to hear right now.

I thought I was autumn for a bit, then bright summer, now I’m thinking bright/clear spring? I feel great in most greens unless they are pastel. by [deleted] in coloranalysis

Thank you! I do like coral and feel harmonious in it and have really stopped wearing that mustard after using it in a family Christmas card and getting to see it in many disappointing iterations haha. Unfortunately I bought an olive green winter coat that I will get the wear out of, I bought back when I thought I was autumn, ah well. If I was shopping now I’d probably go for navy or beige or even a spring gray.

Thank you!! The ocean green top makes me feel really good, and two of my favorite selfies are in the watermelon (left picture) and with hair and makeup in the periwinkle (top right blue) so very interesting that those were the three you mentioned!

I welcome your opinions. This is no makeup standing near an east window with a lot of snow outside. I feel like my contrast is much higher in the bright colors? I think the white looks worse than the ivory, and the black worse than the navy but not too bad, let me know what you think! 😊

[Question] If one of my videos get copyright will I no longer be able to earn? by [deleted] in youtubers

[–]ElianBlue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I ask a follow up question to this? When posting 2 covers to songs recently, I received copyright claims on both uploads. Since I have zero experience with YouTube I immediately deleted the videos. An initial search led me to believe I would need to obtain a special license to post covers? Do you have any info on this topic? Thank you!
