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!

One of my New Year’s resolutions was to attempt to curb my magpie-like instincts when it comes to all things pretty and cake related but sadly I seem to be failing miserably! I thought that maybe if I blogged about my finds, my appetite might be sated and my bank balance healthier..we’ll see!
Anyway, my current obsession is with cake stands. I would happily display them throughout my house, studio and any spare space I could find. They are the perfect way to show off cupcakes, miniature cakes or as a display stand for a much bigger wedding cake (as per the stunning Spring daffodil wedding cake below)
So here is the pick of my favourite cake stands all available at http://www.notonthehighstreet.com/
And my favourite, albeit it the most expensive:
If these are a little out of your price range, I bought a beautiful vintage looking glass cake stand for only £10 from Ikea. Perfect and you’d never know how much of a bargain it was!

I haven’t written for a while due to Christmas cake orders and seemingly endless discussions with lawyers who are sorting out my new studio but I had to mention these beautiful flowers that I keep seeing and hearing about. They are David Austin Roses and quite simply, they are stunning! They have been grown to look beautiful in bloom as opposed to the more ubiquitous roses in bud and I think that they are not unlike the much sought after peonies. Truly stunning!
Why not ask your florist about David Austin Roses or talk to us about adorning your traditional wedding cakes with them for a chic, simple and beautiful showstopper.
Have a look at the stunning images below and you’ll surely be converted to these quintessentially English roses.
