Christmas cupcakes



I thought that I’d let you know about a great open day that’s being held on Sunday 6th December at the Bingham Hotel in Richmond. It’s being held by Roseberg Flowers of Copenhagen which is a wonderful florist based near Petersham Nurseries in Richmond. Roseberg’s owner Kat has done some of the most stunning floral arrangements for weddings I have delivered cakes to and I’d highly recommend her!

The Bingham is a stunning venue for a wedding with views over the River Thames, gardens stretching down to the waters edge and very lovely staff who will do their utmost to cater for your every wedding or party whim!

Cakes by Robin is providing Christmas cupcakes for the guests and Peggy Porschen is making some wonderful Christmas cookies for everyone to munch while they are checking out the stunning floral displays. It’s also an ideal time to order your Christmas tree to ensure you don’t end up with that spindley one no one else wanted!

Now when do you get to spend time in a beautiful venue, eating delicious cakes and cookies from top cake designers and checking out the latest floral designs all for free?! Well it is the season of goodwill after all!

Beautiful wedding florist-Drake Algar



Having just spoken to my friend Tash who owns Drake Algar in St Johns Wood, I thought that I would tell everyone a little bit about his fab floristry business.

Pretty pretty roses

Based in St Johns Wood, Drake Algar has been on the flower scene for over 70 years but has recently become a very popular choice for bridal flowers. Their designs are contemporary, beautiful and a world apart  from your average florist. I always think that there is a very obvious difference between the likes of Wild at Heart and Jamie Aston at the top end and other less well known florists. Well Drake Algar bridges that gap. Their designs are stunning, they don’t have hidden charges for things like the collection of vases etc after the event and the staff are really lovely.

We do a lot of business together, with Drake Algar flowers regularly adorning my traditional wedding cakes. I highly recommend them!

Amazing country wedding!

Well, I just received a CD of wedding photos from one of my clients this summer. Ordinarily I would only put up photos of the wedding cake but this wedding was so chic and beautiful, I thought that I’d share some other snippets too. Everything complimented everything else and I think it is a perfect example of a beautiful summer country wedding.

Instead of pedestals, these displays were in large garden pots-lovely!

Katherine’s flowers were by a company called G Lily and were absolutely amazing.
