Sophie and Matt's Autumnal Rustic Wedding Cake - October 2018, The Gardens - Yalding
I met Sophie and Matt at The Wedding Experience at Detling early last year. They were getting at The Gardens, Yalding in October and planning an autumn wedding.
When we met up to discuss their cake design, they had fallen in love with a log slice cake but couldn't decide on whether to go for a silver birch log or a brown wood log. After discussion I suggested why not go for both logs on the cake, no reason why not! Certainly at The Gardens, there would be both types of trees and would there for blend in amazingly with the environment.
In addition they were very keen to have a cascade of flowers matching their wedding flowers as well as decorations of autumnal leaves, toadstools, acorns and other autumnal foliage.
All the flowers, and decorations were made by sugar paste, including the gorgeous little toadstools and mushrooms which I have to say I am rather in love with, and the flowers were made using the information supplied by their florist to ensure they matched the wedding theme totally.
On the bottom tier we added a carved out love heart with their initials just to personalise the cake further.
The silver birch cake was made free hand, but the log slice at the bottom was made using the FPC Sugarcraft Log Texture mat. The top of each log was decorated with circles to replicate the cut log effect.
The bride and groom also supplied a special cake for a guest with extreme allergies that I was able to add some of the decorations to it to make it match the actual wedding cake.
The log cake stand was supplied by the venue.
