    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.

Nikki and Richard were married in 2017 at The Village Hotel, Maidstone.   Nikki chose a very pretty 3 tier wedding cake decorated with Cake Lace, pink and blue ribbon to match their theme and bridesmaids and finished with diamante to add a bit of glitz.   Nikki borrowed our pink pedestal cake stand which not only gave the cake extra height but matched their pink colour perfectly adding that extra bit of detail to their cake table.   The couple were very keen to have a personalised wedding cake topper that they could keep after the wedding. I made the topper using Renshaw Modelling paste so it would set hard and they would be able to keep it.   Richard is a fireman and wanted to be in his Fire Uniform, and Nikki in her wedding dress. So, to this they supplied me many photos of themselves (independently of course so Richard wouldn’t see Nikki’s dress) and I used these to create the figures.   The modelling paste figures will keep indefinitely if it doesn’t get dam...

  Carly and Leigh were married at The Orangery, Maidstone back in the spring of 2017. When I first met Carly and Leigh they had no real idea of what they wanted for their cake, just the colours they were using for their big day which they wanted to incorporate into their design. After a chat, tea and lots of cake during the consultation, they seemed very keen on the idea of a "reveal" cake. They were very keen on the cake being elegant and pretty as well as fun so we used cake lace on the front part of the cake edged in ribbon to match the colour theme and a narrow strip of diamante to give the cake that little bit of a sparkle and elegant look. Carly and Leigh had no immediate ideas what to have on their "reveal" side so I suggested the idea of film negatives depicting lots of personalised photos. They thought this was a great idea and were very excited to go off and search out pictures for me to use. In the end, Carly and Leigh sent me photos of them as a couple, ...
