Pretty Petal Cascade Wedding Cake

admin — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 01:54:38 +0000

What could be prettier than subtly graduated shades of pink and a lovely soft cascade of rose petals! The dusky pink and a touch of lace make this cake a great choice for a vintage styled wedding too.

Buttercream Wedding Cake

admin — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 17:13:41 +0000

Don’t worry if you are not a fan of fondant or royal icing, you can still have a traditional tiered wedding cake using a buttercream frosting. This buttercream wedding cake with hand made gingerbread bride and groom topper was made for a December wedding in a converted barn so the rustic finish to the frosting worked perfectly with the venue. A buttercream finish also has the advantage of letting the delicous aromoas of the cake through so your wedding cake not only looks great but smells fantastic too. Lucy opted for our much talked about carrot cake for the bottom tier, then a fragrant orange and chocolate cake in the middle with a traditional vanilla cake for the top tier.

If rustic is not your style we can make buttercream wedding cakes with a smooth finish for a more traditional look or pipe it on in ruffles and roses for a pretty, vintage feel.

Dots and Roses Ivory Wedding Cake

admin — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 16:28:02 +0000

Michelle and James needed a statuesque wedding cake to feed their 150 guests and still be able to keep the top tier but they also wanted to keep it elegant. We went for a very classic, pretty style featuring delicate swiss dots and full bloom ivory roses with a subtle pink blush. The double height tiers give a more slender sillouette than a six tier cake, maintaining the elegant look and the tumbling rose petals break up the straight lines of the tall tiers. The little hand modelled, ivory bicycle adds a subtle personal touch for the couple who are both keen mountain bikers and they get to keep it as a little memento of their dream wedding cake.

We think the cake looked great in the spacious ballroom at Brypmton House with the September sun streaming in through the huge windows. If you would like to chat about your perfect wedding cake for your big day then do give us a call on 01935 864273 or get in touch using the contact form.

Purple Butterfly Wedding Cupcake Tower

admin — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:50:31 +0000

Bountiful is the word that comes to mind when we look at these gorgeous photographs of Joanne and Jason’s wedding cupcake tower. One hundered cupcakes with a top tier is the perfect amount to fill our seven tier maypole stand, leaving a few cupcakes to spill over from the bottom tier, inviting your guests to dig in! Purple and ivory is a classic wedding colour palette that never seems to go out of style, along with butterlies and roses. We made the top tier ‘floating’ for this display to add to the light feeling given by the flight of sugar butterflies alighting on it. With four flavours of cupcake and a rich fruit top tier there were plenty of choices to keep everyone happy too. Here’s what the bride and groom had to say about thier lovley cake:

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for making our wedding cake! The cake looked beautiful and the cupcakes tasted amazing, lots of our guests said how lovely they tasted, so thank you very much, i would highly recommend you.

Shabby Chic Wedding Cupcake Tower

admin — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 15:09:28 +0000

Simon and Emma had a relaxed vintage feel in mind for their wedding day in the beautiful setting of Hestercombe Gardens so wanted something vintagey but not too regimented for their cupcake tower. We achieved an informal, shabby chic look with a mixture of textures, shapes and colours using smooth fondant and fluffy buttercream with roses, blossoms and pearls in ivory, soft pink and fresh green. Simon was keen to have a bespoke bride and groom topper but Emma didn’t like the idea of them standing on top so we seated them in amongst the cupcakes for a more subtle look that tied in well with the style of the cake.

Art Deco Black & Gold Wedding Cake

admin — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 01:08:05 +0000

Black and gold is a stunning colour combination, bold yet sophisticated and reminiscent of the Art Deco colour palette. We think it works really well as a wedding cake and the addition of edible diamond ‘stars’ lifts the design and gives it a little extra sparkle. The Art Deco theme is also reflected in the romantic dancing figure. All of the decorations on this cake are entirely edible – isn’t it amazing what you can do with sugar We call this our Star Dancer wedding cake and were very proud to be awarded a merit award for it at Cake International 2011 - the biggest cake design show in Europe!

Rainbow Hearts Mini Cakes

admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 01:10:58 +0000

If you like the idea of individual portions of cake for your guests but you’re not so keen on the cupcake then mini cakes can make a more sophisticated alternative. Each mini wedding cake is a beautifully decorated, perfect individual portion. With the right recipe choice they can even double up as dessert at your wedding breakfast accompanied by fresh fruit and cream. And if you don’t fancy serving them for dessert then we can always box them up and tie them with pretty ribbon so they can be used as wedding favours for your guests.

We adored these bright rainbow colours with contrasting love hearts and ribbon trim. They would make a stunning centre piece for your wedding receiption with a different colour displayed on each level of a 7 tier cake stand. A real show stopper! Get in touch now to discuss your mini cake designs or to arrange a personal consultation.

The Cupcake Cocktail Bar

admin — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 00:41:26 +0000

If you have been thinking of having cupcakes at your wedding but want something a little different to the usual tower display then the cupcake cocktail bar, or cup-tail bar, could be just the thing for you. Laid out on drinks trays and decorated with classic cocktail garnishes and paper umbrellas, this range of alcohol infused cupcakes makes a striking display. We love to add those little touches that make such a difference on your big day so we display each flavour in a martini glass along with the ‘cocktail’ recipe card so your guests can have fun chosing their favourites.

You can chose from our existing range of Cosmopolitan, Mohito, Pina Colada, Strawberry Daiqari and Screaming Orgasm cupcakes or just let us know what your favourite cocktails are and we’ll come up with a recipe to match! Do give us a call on 01935 864273 or drop us an email to discuss your needs or to arrange a consultation.

Rosebud Wedding Cake

admin — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 01:24:11 +0000

We broke away from our usual style with this floating tier wedding cake presented on a step-back three tier stand. It’s not a style of presentation we often do but we just loved the customer who was the bride’s grandmother and the sweetest little lady we’ve ever met so we went with it! We were pleased with the end result, which used just short of 150 rosebuds and the bride was thrilled too!

Mixed Up Hot Pink Wedding Cake

admin — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 01:47:57 +0000

Jules and Steve didn’t want the conventional three round tiers for their wedding cake so we spent lots of time playing around with dummy cakes to create a design with a mixture of different shapes and heights to acheive an unconventional stacked wedding cake. The use of different decorations for each tier also added interest with broad, earlised stripes on the base, swiss dots for the middle tier and a quilted affect on the top tier. Contrast was added with hot pink sugar bows to tie in with the wedding’s colour scheme. The venue for the reception was the beautiful Tithe Barn at Haselbury Mill, it’s a beautiful building but the lighting is tricky for our ametuer photography skills. Professional phots will replace our fuzzy attempts very soon!
