Fresh flower wedding cake

We were asked to make a fruit cake for a wedding taking place in Greece by a lovely bride called Kirsty.  She wanted to decorate the wedding cake simply with fresh white roses on the day. We made a rum and brandy soaked three tier fruit cake which was to be driven from London to Zermatt and on to a Greek island. I wouldn’t ordinarily include such a simple cake on the blog but I just thought that it was really elegant with the fresh white roses sitting in posy picks and is a really cost effective way to decorate a wedding cake in these times of austerity!

Gruffalo birthday cake

I don’t like to blow our shop’s trumpet too often but we have just created the best children’s birthday cakes ever! It is a 3D version of Gruffalo’s child and I love love love it!

Gruffalo is made from cake and all the other characters are edible sugar models. I think I want my own one for my birthday it is so cool!

Corporate Christmas cakes

So as most people are thinking about what to pack for summer holiday and how many carbs shouldn’t be consumed, at Cakes by Robin we turn to thoughts of Christmas. It’s a busy time for us and we get a lot of corporate cakes ordered as gifts for their best clients or staff parties.

These ones pictured below are part of an order for 250 miniature Christmas cakes that we made for a company called Keenpac who make all the high end packaging for people like Molton Brown, Prada, Miller Harris and lots of other luxurious brands. They wanted to send out a gift to each of their customers that was Christmasy but was very obviously from them. In order to achieve this we used their company logo as the theme to run through the 3 designs of miniature Christmas cake which was handily shaped like a Christmas tree. They wanted to create their own labels and so we added these on with the ribbon and the finished boxes looked amazing.
