Rustic Buttercream Wedding Cake

-
This rustic butter cream cake was made for a wedding fair. It's three tiers of white butter cream, decorated using a round bladed knife going in a continual line around each cake and then moved up ( I usually start at the bottom of the tier).

The cake was decorated with sugar work blush, pale pink and white roses and O'Hara roses finished with a few green leaves.

The picture was taken at a wedding fair at The Black Horse Inn, with light up letters by De-Lights.

Harry Potter Wedding Cake

I LOVE Harry Potter, but sadly the only Harry Potter wedding cake I had been asked to make was a couple of years ago and that was sadly whilst I was away on holiday! Having not been asked since I decided to make my own version for a wedding fair! I had so many ideas running through my head, so many possible options, but in the end I decided to keep it relatively simple (I mean not blast with lots of different colours) but also incorporating a number of well known sayings / phrases and articles from the books! A pair of glasses and a wand were an absolute must! In the end after several sketches I came up with the book at the bottom (But which one? - I did the History of Magic by Bathilda Bagshot), with the Marauders Map, the classic "Always" love quote and a golden snitch on the top. In hind sight I thought that actually the footsteps on the top could have formed a heart shape, but I didn't think about this until afterwards. The final cake proved a hit at the weddi...

What size wedding cake do we need for our wedding?

  This is the question I get asked a lot as I am sure you can imagine. I know that some cakemakers have a formula for working out how many portions are needed and hence what size cake a couple should have but that’s not something I am particularly keen to use and, I don’t know what it is anyway!   When discussing ideas and sizes with my couples I always suggest that they bear the following in mind: - ·         If you order a cake for 80 guests, then there is no way to make sure that each of your 80 guests all get a piece for cake. You can’t control what people eat unless it is served up to them, say at the sit-down meal. Wedding Cake with double height middle tier  ·         The number of portions your cake cuts into will depend on who cuts it. This is usually the venue, or the caterers and they are unlikely to measure each piece to 2 x 1 or 1x1 inches exactly. If you order a cake for 80, th...

Paul and Meena's naked wedding cake at Eastwell Manor

  Paul and Meena were married at Eastwell Manor, Ashford on Good Friday 2017. It was a beautiful sunny and warm spring day.   They chose a 3-tier naked wedding cake filled with buttercream and decorated in fresh fruits.   A naked cake is a cake whereby there is no icing or frosting on the outside of the cake so that you can see the stacked sponges. The internal structure of the cake with the dowels and boards is exactly the same as any iced wedding cake, even though the cake is much lighter than an iced one.   The fresh fruit adds loads of colour to the cake and makes a fabulous alternative to a traditional cake, all looking fabulous at the most beautiful Eastwell Manor.   Paul and Meena cutting their wedding cake at Eastwell Manor
