Heart cake toppers

These cute little cake toppers were made for an 18th(never!) Birthday cake. Little hearts on top of sticks which then get pushed in to the cake. The 18s are painted in silver and then left to dry and lastly a little spray of edible glitter to give them a little extra sparkle!

Spring in the Snow

Last week was all about white chocolate. A three tier cake with white chocolate middle tier, Luscious Lemon base tier and boozy fruit cake top tier. The cake was then covered in white chocolate curls and trimmed with fresh green ribbon. The finishing touch was then to cover the cake in white chocolate buttons, which was a massive temptation which we resisted! We think the fresh coloured ribbon against the chocolate curls really gave the cake a spring look. Then it snowed.  Lucky that we have our trusty four wheel drive which plowed through the snow and delivered the cake to the Church. I'm sure the wedding pictures will be absolutely beautiful at a snow covered Thornton Hall.

Art Deco Chandelier

I love it when we hear from brides about their big day and especially love to see pictures, so I was absolutely over the moon when I opened an email from Kati and found 8 images of the art deco chandelier cake and the couple cutting it! It really looked at home at the Leverhulme hotel with it's gorgeous chandeliers and amongst the couple's art deco style on the day wedding stationery. And we absolutely love the detailing on Kati's stunning dress.

A Daisy from the past...

At a recent wedding show at Thornton Hall, I met a lovely photographer and whilst looking through their album, I glimpsed this! Our Diamond Daisy Cake! I cheekily asked for a picture and lovely Verity from Cetra happily obliged. What a pretty cake and what a lovely photo of it. It's always nice to have a little reminisce and see a past cake and nicer when it's a lovely image like this one. I also love the way a little posy of flowers sit on the cake stand. So very delicate just like the cake itself, which is covered in hundreds of daisies with handmade paper thin petals, finished with a sparkling gem in the centre like a little dew drop.

A Love Bird Story

This is a story of a cake. A very bright cake that is based on an equally bright and familiar cake that had an outing at a very bright wedding...
This cake though sat half made in a dark corner of the showroom gathering dust until a nice cake lady got out her piping bag and added some leaves and bows and spots, and finished it's story. A love bird story.
