Baby Shower Treats

This past weekend I attended my good friend Jackie's baby shower, which was a lot of fun & met some inspiring FAB ladies! I was excited to make her cake, and as she's expecting a boy we thought a baby bag would make a cute cake! Our moist Red Velvet cake was the chosen flavour, and we filled this with a White Chocolate Cream Cheese frosting.


To decorate the cake we chose a soft baby blue colour for the main part of the bag  (Colour 1kg of white fondant icing with 2 toothpick drops of Sugarflair Baby Blue colouring), and used ivory fondant icing for the bag flap. We accessorised the bag with fondant blue dots, a B for baby badge, and a cute little brown button. And the baby bag wouldn't have been complete with cute little fondant baby shoes & a fondant dummy (pacifier)! This was definitely a fun cake to style!! Enjoy...it was enjoyed by all!





More treats coming soon and a sneak peek on a fun racing car themed party that we're working on!

Sweet Wishes & 2 Kisses!!

Lilac Wedding Cake Details

Although it's sort of Autumn now (unpredictable British weather), it was a lovely sunny day, and yesterday we had the pleasure of delivering one of our luxury wedding cakes to a lovely couple who held their wedding reception at the Gaynes Park venue in Essex. The wedding colours were ivory and lilac, and the couple wanted a simple yet elegant ivory cake with a touch of lilac.

Wedding Taster Box
 

After fun tasting session, the couple opted for the Rich Fruit Cake and a Lemon Touch sponge. Included in the sample box was our Vanilla Bean Sponge, Lemon Touch, Divine Chocolate sponge and Rich Fruit Cake. The bottom 2 tiers and the top tier of the cake were Rich Fruit Cake and the second was the Lemon Touch sponge.
For the detailed finish, we used ivory satin ribbon, and hand piped tiny beads at the base of each tier. The second tier was decorated with simple hand piped beads. We incorporated the lilac colour by adding a cluster of handmade fondant roses on the top of the cake and pearl beads. A sprinkle of Jewel Twinkle White edible glitter added a little eye catching sparkle to the finished detail. 
The cake before its short journey on the M25...

 A few shots at the venue...

We decorated the table with tea lights, lilac fondant roses and a sprinkle of twinkling glitter...

The cake table next to one of the guest tables. I loved how the simple centres pieces complemented the room with it's exposed brick, wooden beams and patio doors that opened onto a luscious green garden...

Looking forward to posting more treats soon...keep checking in!
