HAPPY 2013!!

Wishing you a very happy & blessed 2013!!

Today's our first day back from a well deserved 2 week break! I have a lot of catching up to do and although it's only day 7 of 2013, it's already very busy! I have been off the blog for some time...I have no excuse really, it just got so busy and before we knew 2013 was here! 2012 was a good year, but 2013 will be even better! We have made a lot of exciting changes and our new look site will  be live soon, it's just taking a little longer, so please bear with us!

In the meantime, here are some pretty cake pics from 2012...

Tangerine & Fuchsia Wedding Cake details

Last Saturday we had the pleasure of delivering a 4 tier wedding cake for a couple who held their wedding reception at the Hilton Dartford. The couple's wedding colour palette was tangerine, fuchsia and ivory, with tangerine being the dominant colour for the cake decor. The cake was made up of 2 tiers of Red Velvet Cake with a White Chocolate Cream Cheese filling (bottom & third tiers), Lemon Blueberry Cake with a fluffy Lemon Buttercream filling (2nd tier) and a Rich Fruit Cake (top tier). The cake was finished off with Ivory fondant icing, and decorated with a thick tangerine ribbon and thin fuchsia ribbon, a tangerine bow and diamante brooch and the top of the cake was adorned with tangerine & pink sugar flowers.

Here are few shots we took, whilst the venue was being setup.

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.

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

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

Chic Red & White Wedding Cake

This weekend saw us deliver a chic cake for a lovely bride Bini, who celebrated her wedding this weekend!

We were called upon to make her a simple cake, infusing her wedding palette of deep red & white. For the 3 tier cake, we baked our Madagascan Bourbon Vanilla Bean Sponge filled with a MB Vanilla Bean buttercream. For the cakes structure, we infused a combination of 2 square cakes for the top and bottom tiers, and a round cake for the middle tier, and covered them in white Regalice. We used a satin ribbon in 2 thicknesses to bring in the deep red colour and hand piped royal iced pearls for a simple but stylish details. For the chic bow detail, we added a gold acorn style brooch, and displayed the cake on a simple beaded gold square cake stand.

Here are some more cake pics for you to enjoy...

We also had the pleasure of making her bouquet, which was made up of white Calla Lilies and beargrass, wrapped in a red satin ribbon, secured with gold beaded pins & a pearl & diamante wired butterfly...
