Pearl Anniversary Cupcakes

3 dozen pearl (30th) anniversary cupcakes, ordered by the couple's daughter, for a surprise party!

Wedding Cake 'Gurpreet'

Stunning (if I say so myself!) and somewhat unusual 6 tier cake.

All 6 tiers were cut in half, vertically, and the 'cut' edges were bedecked with fresh roses and hydrangeas (130 roses and 3 large heads of hydrangea!!)

I received the lovliest email from Gurpreet after her wedding, which always touches my heart that a customer loved their cake so much, they've taken time out after such a huge event in their life to say 'thank you'.

Wedding Cake Rashida

A slightly belated post, as Rashida's wedding was on the 30th June...  

Rashida wanted to use some of her cake stands to display her wedding cake... now, I know what you're thinking, but she actually came to see me about her wedding cake about 3 or 4 weeks BEFORE Harry & Meghan's wedding... so who's copying who, eh? Here, her three cakes (10" chocolate-orange cake; double height 7" lemon cake; 6" cherry bakewell) are set up and dressed with 'baby's breath' and fresh roses at the beautiful Eastbury Manor House - a beautiful Elizabethan house, now run by The National Trust. I don't often get to see my clients when I set up their wedding cakes, but I was lucky enough to see Rashida and she looked exquisite! I'm so delighted the sun was shining down on your special day and I wish them both every happiness.

Wedding Cake 'Avni'

I know there are a lot of photos, but how could I choose between them?  I love them all!  So, before I tell you about the cake, let me thank Apresh Chavda of www.apreshchavda.com for kindly sending me the photos and allowing me to use them.

My very warmest congratulations to Avni & Rishi who were married this weekend at The Grosvenor House Hotel in London.  They chose a 4 tier cake topped with a hand-made sugar peacock, and the talented Becki from Floco dressed the cake with flowers to form the peacock's tail.

Wedding Cake

Congratulations to Vicky & Steve who were married at Blake Hall.  Their wedding had a 'tree of life' theme and so when they saw my cake with hand-painted tree and bride & groom silhouettes, they decided it was perfect for them!  With hearts in shades of burgundy, it complemented their colour scheme.

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').

Drip Cake

With the randomness of the drips and placement of chocolates, I love how no two drip cakes are ever the same!  Mikisha's mum ordered her this champagne & strawberry drip which was covered with white chocolte ganache with a milk chocolate drip.  She had already purchased the topper herself.

One party, two cakes...

The customer ordered a two tier rich fruit cake for her girlfriend - Rachel's - 50th birthday, topped with an edible gold tiara and decorated with an embossed diamond pattern around the side of the cakes and gold dragees and gold pearl details.

 Also ordered was a double height rich fruit cake for Rachel's mum, who was celebrating her 70th birthday.  Black and white bands, gold framed plaque and sugar peony really do make this a striking cake.

Both cakes inspired by photos the cutomer found on the internet - sorry I don't know who to credit for the original designs.

16th Birthday Drip Cake

They're growing up too quickly!! I've know Taylor since she was at nursery school with my younger son... so 13 years! I can't believe she's 16 now (well, I can... my son is also 16... but, you know...!) Her mum asked for a 'drip cake' in pink with dark chocolate drips. I topped with with a 16 made from cookies, covered in 100s & 1000s, and lots of other goodies, including gold Maltesers, mini Party Rings, dolly mixtures, sugar roses, jelly beans, home made 'jazzies' - and there was a royal iced cookie on the front! The cake itself was chocolte sponge with raspberry buttercream!  Happy birthday, lovely Taylor!

Cheese Board Cake

Back in January, it was my husband's 50th birthday.  We celebrated with a lovely meal with friends.  Mr Pat-a-Cake said he didn't want a cake - didn't want me to go to any more trouble, seeing as I was already making dinner for 10 people.  But how could I not?  Now, when we go out, he will always choose a cheese board over a dessert.  He LOVES cheese!  So it was an obvious choice for me.  I decorated the cake board to look like a wooden board and then I baked 3 small cakes and decorated them to look like cheese - the Camembert was champagne & strawberry; the Edam was chocolate-orange; and the Swiss cheese was lemon.  I finished it off with some sugar grapes!  What was fun was how we passed the cake around after dinner and people were actually taking a little bit of each - like one would with cheese! 

Happy birthday to my darling husband.
