Vintage style pink and white wedding cake

-
Image
  This is a beautiful cake there is no doubt about it, but whilst it is stunning there is also some sadness behind it.   The cake was designed with a bride and groom for their wedding. It was to be in pink and white with edible cake lace pieces, vintage roses, and hydrangea sprays over 5 gorgeous tiers. Sadly, the couple decided not to get married and to go their separate ways. This happens far more than people realise and there are many reasons why couples choose not to get married in the end.   It’s very distressing for the couple and their families and it is a tricky one for suppliers and although our hearts go to the couple whose hearts are no doubt broken, we must learn not to take it to heart and to provide our service to the next couple who do continue with their wedding plans.   So, I was left with this beautiful cake design that I was never going to make for an actual wedding, so I made it anyway and used it as a display cake for various wedding fairs.   I th

Vicky and Matt's floral Wedding Cake at The BarnYard

-
Image
  Vicky and Matt were married in 2017 at The BarnYard in Upchurch. I met them at the wedding fair held at the venue previously.   Vicky had seen a picture of a cake she liked that she wanted reproduced for her wedding. However, after the consultation we decided to make a few changes to personalise the cake just for them.   Vicky and Matt were having pale blue and pink as the colours for their wedding and so we were able to incorporate both of these into the cake design and they also chose a lovely tall 5 tier cake.   The cake itself consisted of three tiers of pale blue icing on the 1 st ,3 rd and 5 th tier and the 2 nd and 4 th tier was made up of ivory tiers.   The top and sides of the top of the blue tiers and the bottom of the ivory tiers were decorated in individual small flowers made from icing, each with pale pink centres.   The other tiers of the cake were edged in a narrow hessian ribbon with a hessian bow at the front of the 3rd tier. The 5 th tier was t

Gemma and Matt's bright wedding at Bradbourne House, East Malling

-
Image
    Matt and Gemma lived fairly close to me and were getting married at Bradbourne House, East Malling which is just around the corner from my house. They had been looking for a local wedding cake maker and found me.   Gemma had chosen some amazing bright course for their wedding including petrol blue, yellow, red, and orange.   I love colourful wedding cakes, so this made me really excited about their cake.   During the consultation, the happy couple chose a 3-tier barley twist square wedding cake decorated on two tiers with edible cake lace and each tier edged in “petrol” coloured ribbon.   Gemma and Matt chose sugar flowers for their cake, and so I made 3 sprays of sugar roses in yellow, red, and orange with a few hydrangeas and leaves between. I made these beautiful bright flowers a while before the wedding and they sat in my cake room, and I really missed them when they had gone.   The flowers were arranged on the front of the top tier and adjacent to the bottom

Pink detailed birdcage wedding cake at Cooling Castle Barn

-
Image
 Lisa and Johnathon were married on 7 th May 2017 at the beautiful Cooling Castle Barn.   They were very keen to have a white birdcage style wedding cake but wanted to incorporate some bright florals and love birds.   The cake was made up of 3 tiers of round cakes, 2 of which were decorated in edible cake lace with sporadically placed sugar roses in shades of pink complemented with bright green sugar rose leaves.   The second tier was decorated with two vintage grey love birds facing each other at the front of the tier.   The birdcage part of the cake was the top tier of the cake and was decorated in all white finished with piping and ribbon and some of the pink sugar roses.   Once the cake was assembled, I loved the way the pink sugar roses “popped” out from the cake and how the roses were also complimented by the green leaves, especially on the simple all white background of the cake.

Purple and lilac heart wedding cake at The Hop Farm Wedding Venue

-
Image
  This beautiful wedding cake was made for Claire and Mark who were married at the Hop Farm, Paddock Wood in the summer of 2017.   Claire and Mark chose a 3-tier heart shaped wedding cake iced in white icing. Their wedding had a purple and lilac theme, and they wanted their cake to reflect this.   Each tier of the cake was decorated in two tone ribbon in purple and lilac around the edge of each tier. The lilac and purple themed was reflected in the cascade of purple, lilac and white roses that cascaded across the front of the cake diagonally and on the top of the cake.   The cake was finished with lilac, white and purple hearts on wires standing proud of the cake.   The overall cake looked amazing especially when it was set up at the Hop Farm in front of the Oast Fireplace.

Shannon and Aaron's Barley Twist Wedding Cake at Cooling Castle Barn

-
Image
    Shannon and Aaron were married at the beautiful Cooling Castle Barn in the spring of 2017.   They chose a 4-tier square wedding with the tiers off set to each other (I call this a Barley Twist), one of our popular designs. Shannon and Aaron had chosen pink as their wedding colour and wanted pink incorporated into the design, so we used pale pink ribbon around the edge of each tier which was also completed with a single row of diamante around each tier.   The second and top tier were in additionally decorated with a continuous piping technique known as Cornelli work. It’s a very pretty technique that it also quite subtle but adds an additional texture / feature to the cake.   The cake was faced points forward and a cascade or pale pink and white sugar roses were added to the top pf the cake and across the front of the cake, covering the point of each tier as they twisted round the cake. I then added a few lose rose petals around the cake to make it look as if they had

Tale as old as time!

-
Image
I make no secret of my huge love for anything Disney, so following on from seeing the new live version film of Beauty and the Beast I was inspired to make a Beauty and the Beast themed Wedding Cake.   Obviously, the main feature of the cake had to be the red rose with the petals dropping in a cloche. The rose was made from sugar as were the petals which were in the cloche and dropped around the cake.   So as not to distract from the details on the cake the majority of the cake was kept fairly plain.   The logo for the new film was hand painted on the front of the cake in the true colours of black with the red rose.   The words “Tale as old as time” which is a song from the film was also hand painted around the bottom tier of the cake.   The cake was finished in black and red ribbon in line with the colours of the logo.   Completely beautiful and elegant. Sugar rose with rose petals in a glass dome / cloche Hand painted film logo in black with red rose detail.
