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 'Sharon' - for Aimee-Louise

Warmest congratulations to Aimee-Louise and Ben, who were married yesterday at the lovely Gaynes Park in Coopersale, Epping.  Aimee's colour theme of red and white was not only in the decoration of the cake - with piped royal icing pearls and hand-made sugar roses - but the inside of the cake, too!  4 tiers of red velvet sponge with cream cheese frosting.  The cake topper was provided by the bride.

Wedding Cake 'Anoushka'

Wedding Cake 'Anoushka'

The bride brought me a small sample of ribbon, to show me her colour scheme.  I must thank the  www.theribbonshop.co.uk from whom I received the most wonderful service.  Clara kindly sent me several samples so I could find the right colour match.  And this US single faced satin ribbon in azalea was just thing!!  I must also thank www.sunflower-sugarart.co.uk for sending me out the magenta petal dust so very quickly! 

 So, whether you call this colour azalea, magenta, fuschia or cerise, it's certainly striking!

I've actually made an almost identical cake to this in the past, but by having a much darker pink ribbon/roses, it gives it a completely different feel!  They're so different! (see http://www.patacake-parties.com/Wedding/files/page3-1028-full.html )
