Wedding Cake 'Shanise'

 My very warmest congratulations to Shanise & Aaron who were married at the end of July. They chose a 5 tier wedding cake decorated with alternate layers of edible cake lace and ‘drop lines’ which were hand painted in silver and embellished with with hand-piped royal icing and silver dragees. I used to live, literally, a two minute walk from their reception venue but it’s the first time I’ve been since it became The Platinum Lounge and I was blown away!!

Nightmare Before Christmas

Congratulations to Ernest & Georgia who were married this weekend.  They didn't want a fully themed cake, but they did want a nod to their favourite film - The Nightmare Before Christmas.  So we kept to a black, white and silver palette and just introduced the famous hill and they had toppers that they'd purchased online (these aren't their toppers - I added these to give the cake 'context').

Silver bling cake!

Do not adjust your screen! Yes, this cake is ENTIRELY silver.  When too much bling is not enough, this is pretty much the perfect cake!  I hope Eloise had a fabulous 21st birthday party, celebrating with friends.

Congratulations to Dan on the occasion of his Bar Mitzvah. The colour scheme of his party was royal blue and silver and he wanted a cake that looked like presents, in his colour scheme, with a big burst of stars coming out of the top tier!

Wedding Cake 'Esha'

 My warmest congratulations to Esha & Matesh who celebrated their wedding this weekend. This is my largest wedding cake. 7 tiers - a mix of real cake and dummy tiers. The colour scheme for the reception was metalics - rose gold, gold, silver... and so Esha's cake reflected.  The huge bottom tier was covered in ruffles - and then each one had its edge painstakingl hand-painted painted in gold and rose gold! The rest of the cake was decorated using a mix of edible cake lace and hand-piped royal icing. The top two tiers were covered in edible rose-gold sequins.  I don't really like having my photo taken, but my husband wanted me in a shot to give an idea of the size... I'm 5'4" tall, so not exactly small!

Wedding Cake 'Kathryn'

  

 What a difference a photo makes!!!!  The top photo was taken at home, against a black backdrop, in the same way I always take my photos.  However, the detail of the sparkle on the 2nd and 4th tiers just wasn't there at all.  I tried everything I could think of (albeit, my knowledge of photography is virtually non-existant!)  The middle photo is at the venue - it was actually rather dark in there and so I asked the manager if it was possible to turn on a light?  He switched on a spot light which highlighted the sparkle - just what I needed!  However, this photo isn't really in keeping with the others on my website.  And so, the final photo is the same shot, but with the background blacked out.  

Congratulations to Kathryn & Gavin!  I hope you had a wonderful wedding day and I wish you every happiness for the future.

Wedding Cake 'Sandra'

Wedding Cake 'Sandra'

Extended height (5") tiers of vanilla sponge cake with jam and buttercream, covered with marzipan and sugarpaste.  The bottom and third tiers were embossed with a diamond pattern, with a silver dragee applied to each intersection.  Hand-cut monograms to exactly match the couple's wedding invitation decorate the 2nd tier and the top tier is topped with sugar roses and hand-made beaded wire.  A delicate, lacy sugar butterfly was added to the top tier once at the reception venue.  The bottom tier alone weighed over 8gk!!  The wedding cake had to be assembled at the venue as there was no way we were able to lift it!

Congratulations to Sandra and Derek!
