My little brother’s wedding cake

Having been a little busy recently with wedding cake season in full swing, my blog updates have been somewhat infrequent. However my brother got married this weekend and what better excuse to put finger to keyboard than to show a picture of his stunning four tier wedding cake which successfully made the three hour trip from London to Wiltshire.

They choose a four tier round grapefruit flavour cake which I was initially rather sceptical about but turns out with its citrus cream cheese frosting it tastes like a more subtle lemon with the yummy frosting normally associated with carrot cake. Judging by the reaction of the guests I think it might start making its way onto our cake flavour offering.

The wedding cake was covered in red sugar roses and petals and had a cornflower blue ribbon around the bottom of each tier. Simple but stunning even if I say so myself and my new sister-in-law looked fab too!

A perfect wedding picture

I just had to do a little blog posting as one of my lovely brides Caroline sent me some pictures of her wedding cake which we made a few weeks ago.

The photograph of the newly weds cutting their cake at the Caledonian Club from above is fabulous. The cake was a take on our Pearl Drops wedding cake. I think the image with her gorgeous dress swept round and the two of them together is stunning. 

Congratulations Caroline and Richard!

Easter Cakes Harrods



So I had moved into my new shop all of four days and I received a call from Harrods asking if we’d like to supply them with five Easter cakes for their Easter Wonderland window display for delivery in 8 days time. Obviously I said yes for lots of reasons, the main one being that I want to get a picture of me, next to the window of Harrods pointing at my cakes! Initial excitement subsides slightly as I begin to wonder how I would get 5 huge window display cakes done along with all our other orders in a week.

Well naturally we managed it (just) with the expert help of my amazing head decorator Vivian. Now my next problem is how to fit 5 cakes, each 2 ft tall into my little car for delivery!

Mad Hatter’s tea party eat your heart out!

We have gone the whole hog with these cakes but the bold designs for these wedding cakes can be toned down slightly to compliment an Alice in Wonderland themed wedding perfectly. Get in touch to have a chat!
