Hot Pink and Orange Gerberas Wedding Cake

Here's a four tier wedding cake we created for Becky and Andy's wedding in August. The theme was hot pink and orange, and the cake they chose matched their scheme perfectly. 

Perfect for a hot summer's day :)

4 Tier Silver and White Wedding Cake

Here's a cake we created for Michele's wedding recently. She asked if we could create a four tier cake using silver ribbon and white faux roses, so this is what we came up with...

Cadburys Purple and Ivory Cupcake Tower

Here's a cupcake tower we created for our friend's wedding. Featuring ivory and Cadburys-style purple buttercream and fully edible glitter, these cupcakes are baked into Cadburys-style purple cases and the tower is topped with a gluten free vanilla cake. 

Massive congratulations to Lydia and Chris!

Apologies for the poor photo, this is taken in the kitchen of the hotel!!

Vintage Birds/Bunting Birthday Cake - My Baby's 1st Birthday Cake!

This is my baby girl's birthday cake. She turned 1 on 12 April - how quickly this last year has gone! I spent my own birthday ganaching her cake with white chocolate ganache flavoured with lemon, and the next day decorating her cake. Surely that's not right?! I spent my birthday last year hoping I wouldn't go into labour! Hehe. 

I went for a vintage/shabby chic look for Holly's cake, as I love it! Not sure about Holly, but she certainly loved her cake. We put her in the high chair and gave her the top tier to "play with" - cue one very sticky, cake-covered baby! I'll have to try and get some photos of her and her cake, but in the mean time here are some of the cake.

Cascading Hearts 3 Tier Wedding Cake (W008)

Here's a gorgeous cake we delivered at the weekend for Julia's wedding at Hey Green Hotel, Huddersfield. Two tiers of chocolate cake and a top tier of fruit iced in white fondant and then trimmed with diamante edging. Finished off with a cascade of hearts down the front of the cake and a heart topper spray provided by the bride herself. 

Congratulations to Julia and her new hubby! xx

Baby Shower Gift Basket Cake

Here's a cake we created for a baby shower. The mum to be doesn't know the sex of her baby, so we incorporated pink and blue items. 

The cake is a double height cake iced in fondant which is made to look like a basket. This meant we had to attach strips of fondant to create the basket weave look and it took ages! The effect is amazing though, so well worth it. The cake is finished off with hand modelled items including a cute teddy bear, bib, booties, rattle etc. 

Congratulations!

Vintage Double Height Cake with Roses and Pearls

Here's a cake which is a little bit different. It's effectively a four tier cake made to look like a three tier cake. The top tier has hand made sugar roses trimmed with pearls and the top and bottom tiers are finished off with a lace and pearl trim. The middle tier has a handmade fondant bow. 

Looks gorgeous on a pedestal cake stand - the perfect centrepiece for a vintage style wedding :)

Snowflakes 4 Tier Winter Wedding Cake

Christmas is a really magical time for a wedding, and I love all things wintery! I always said I wanted a winter wedding - I wanted the fur shrugs, and the lace up boots under my dress, and the icy twig decoration. My hubby however wanted a summer wedding, and I had to compromise on something so it was this, and we ended up getting married in June and having nothing even remotely wintery!

Luckily, I still get to make winter wedding cakes, and this was for Amy and Heike who got married at the lovely Bagden Hall Hotel in Denby Dale, Huddersfield. The theme was snowflakes, and there are a lot on this four tier cake!

Everything else was really simple - no ribbon, no extra decoration, just snowflakes which all had a bit of a sparkle to them.

 Amy posted on my Facebook to say how much they loved their cake, which is a really nice thing to hear! Thank you, and thanks for letting me make your wedding cake. Massive congratulations! xx

Two Tier Navy Blossom Wedding Cake

Here's a simple but stylish wedding cake, being two tier. The cake is trimmed with navy blue ribbon and decorated with navy blue blossoms. 

We delivered this cake to the gorgeous Three Acres restaurant in Shelley - great venue for an intimate wedding celebration. 

Not the best picture I'm afraid, as I took this in my kitchen before I delivered the cake and then forgot to get one at the venue! 

Owl and Hedgehog Themed Birthday and Christening Cake and Cupcakes :)

I was contacted by Joshua's mum who asked if we could make a cake to celebrate Joshua's first birthday and his christening, and she sent me a picture of the invitations and asked if we could incorporate details from these onto the cake. 

Here's the invitation (I think it's called Happitree)...

 And here's the cake!

And some hedgehog cupcakes too :-)

Happy Birthday Joshua! :-) xx

Cloudbabies Cake

This was a cake we created for Sacario's birthday. He is the most gorgeous little boy ever! He loves the Cloudbabies, so we created a two tier cake with the characters on. His mum asked for the tiers to be wonky, as she is a fan of that style of cake, so here's the finished article!

I must confess, I've no idea who or what the Cloudbabies are so I had to spend a bit of time on Google doing some research!! 

There were also some matching cupcakes featuring either rainbows or clouds to go with the cake :)

I hope Sacario had an amazing birthday party :-D xx

Three Tier Owl Birthday Cake

This was my own birthday cake which I finally got to make this weekend (only six months late hehe). When it was my actual birthday I was 41 weeks pregnant and had my daughter two days later, so wasn't really in the best frame of mind for baking!!

It's a gluten free lemon cake iced in fondant and then finished with a cute owl design. 

Happy Birthday to me! xx

Ivory Three Tier Wedding Cake with Sunflowers

Here's a cake I did this weekend for the gorgeous Lauren and Dean's wedding at Casa Hotel, Brighouse. It's a stunning venue by the way. The reception was in a marquee which overlooked a terrace which overlooked a lake - gorgeous! We had fabulous weather too - ooh, it was like being in Monaco :)

The cake consisted of three tiers of chocolate cake (the middle having chocolate chips) iced in ivory sugarpaste with tiny hand piped dots to all three tiers. Sugar roses and sunflowers to match the bride's flowers were added, as was a humorous cake topper supplied by Lauren. 

Massive congratulations to the happy couple! xx 

W065 - Black and Teal Two Tier Wedding Cake with Sparkly Brooches

Here's a gorgeously glam cake for your celebration - black fondant icing covers delicious vanilla madeira cake and is then trimmed with teal ribbon, a diamante trim and diamante brooch detail to the top tier. This could be made in a variety of colours, but looks amazing in black and teal! 

This would be a gorgeous wedding cake, but was actually my friend's 30th birthday/hen do cake!!

W064 - Four Tier Ivory Blossom Wedding Cake

Here's a gorgeous wedding cake but a very poor photo! This is a four tier cake which is iced in ivory sugarpaste and trimmed with ivory satin ribbon. The detail to the front of the cake features blossoms and piped vines and stems and swirls up to the top tier. 

A gorgeous glamorous cake!
