Wedding Cake 'Maria'

My very warmest congratulations to Maria and Hayden who were married today at Orsett Hall Hotel. Maria chose a pearl/champagne highly lustred cake with white royal icing damask stencil decoration finished with edible pearls, which complemented the gold accents of her decoration perfectly. With the bottom tier a light vanilla sponge with jam & buttercream; the 2nd tier zesty lemon sponge with lemon curd buttercream; and the top two tiers chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream, there is something for everyone!
    
 
 The bride hired a lovely set up for the table... I haven't seen this before, but it was really effective! On the actual table, was a 'separator' - and on top of that was glass or acrylic top the same size as the table, that the cake stand/cake sat upon. Between the table and the topper were silk flowers, pearls, etc.  I'm not sure my photographs do it justice, but it was really pretty and very unusual indeed!
 
As well as the wedding cake, I also made personalised cookie favours - a lovely way to combine table gifts and name place cards!

Wedding Cake 'Catherine' - gold and red

Wedding Cake 'Catherine' in red and gold. Whilst perfect all year round, this also says 'Christmas wedding' to me. It also perfectly lends itself for an Asian wedding, as red and gold are traditional colours. I must confess to being more than a little in love with this one!!

Last minute cake request from my friend for her daughter! As I was dropping my son round to their house this evening, I took the cake at the same time.

Happy birthday to the very lovely Jamy!
