Stand proud



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)

Spring daffodil £675

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!

Roses but not as you’ve seen them before



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.

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.
