Kate and John - 11th November 2018, Chilston Park

-


I met Kate and John at The Wedding Experience Detling in April 2018. When they came to visit me for their consultation they already come up with some ideas for their cake design. Their colours were burgundy, dusky pink, ivory and silver lovely for a winter wedding.

The bottom tier they wanted in the burgundy colour to match the their bridesmaids edged in burgundy ribbon, the second tier in ivory edged in a wider dusky pink ribbon. The third tier was a double height tier with a burgundy marble effect, although not deep coloured marble. This tier was edged in burgundy ribbon, whilst the top tier was to be plain ivory with their initials painted in silver off centre to the right finished in burgundy and white pencil strip ribbon.

The cake was to be finished with a silver topper supplied by the bride and groom, and two sprays of sugar flowers to match the wedding flowers. The sprays were to include white Amnesia roses, silver Brunia, burgundy Ranunculus, pink spray roses, Amnesia roses, Eucalytpus on foliage.

The cake was delivered to Chilston Park Hotel in 4 sections and I set it up on the piano in the Library. The couple used our white pedestal cake stand which makes the cake really tall so I was back standing on a chair to stack the cake and add the flowers! All in a days work and totally worth it for this stunning cake.

Vintage style pink and white wedding cake

  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

  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

  Tiffany and Phil chose a very elegant wedding cake for their wedding at Cooling Castle Barn in the spring of 2017 .   Sadly, I never actually got to meet the happy couple in person, but they were very happy with their wedding cake and great to work with.   They chose a classic 4 tier wedding cake design decorated in a deep navy-blue ribbon on all 4 tiers and around the cake board.   The top and 2 nd tier were decorated with piping detail of a piped swags and drop pearls.   The 3 rd tier was finished with a flat bow and a lovely silver brooch which was a real focal point for the design.   Tiffany and Phil provided their own bespoke wedding cake topper with completed the cake design perfectly.   This cake is simplicity at its very best, totally elegant and beautiful in every way, looking stunning under the spotlight at Cooling Castle Barn.
