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

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

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

Claret and Ivory Wedding Night Bed Cake :)

This has to be one of our most popular novelty wedding cakes! I think maybe because we can change the colours and as the couple are hand modelled we can change them and make them look however you like, or maybe it's because this is how most wedding nights actually end up (my own actually ended with us waiting in Manchester Airport, as we flew to Jamaica for honeymoon early the next day)! This version was a gift for the happy couple from one of their guests, which is lovely. 

The headboard and footboard (is that what it's called?) are covered in hand piped detail, and features the couple's name on a sign on the headboard. 

Congratulations to Sandra and Jack on their special day!

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! 

Hot Pink and Orange Gerbera Cupcake Tower for a Wedding

Apologies for the long absence - it's been a busy old time with Holly's first Christmas and the run up to that including various illnesses and a lot of sleepless nights! 

Here's a wedding cupcake tower I created earlier in the year. Hot pink and orange were the colours, and the  bride and groom requested simple gerbera flowers on their cupcakes. There were also some mini cupcakes for smaller mouths :)

Congratulations!

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 

Groom/Tuxedo Cookie Wedding Favours :)

These are some cookies I made for a recent wedding. It's a really poor photo as I thought I could get some more photos when I got to the venue, but the wedding coordinator set them all out for me!

They were home made shortbread cookies decorated with fondant with royal icing details. They were then presented in a cellophane bag tied with a ribbon to match the bride's scheme.

I'll hopefully get chance to do some more samples over the next few weeks, when the mad wedding rush has calmed down! 

Gold and Ivory Roses Cupcake Tower

This is a wedding cupcake tower I delivered to Holdsworth House Hotel in Halifax over the weekend.

The bride had a gold and ivory scheme, so we baked vanilla and lemon cupcakes in gold cases. Half were topped with gold edible sparkles and half were put into ivory cupcake wrappers with a rose theme. The top cake was iced in ivory sugarpaste and had a large ribbon rose.

Massive congratulations to Kate and her hubby! xx

Navy and Ivory Blossom Wedding Cupcake Tower

Here's a cupcake tower we delivered the other week to Tankersley Manor Hotel at Barnsley. Took my whole family on the delivery (haha!) and while I was setting up the tower, my hubby sat in the car with our baby and saw the West Brom players! Apparently H was less than impressed with the likes of Ben Foster though.

The top of this cake tower was baked by the groom's mum and was a rich fruit cake, which I marzipanned and decorated to match their scheme. The cupcakes had a singe navy blue blossom on, and were encased in a beautiful butterfly wrapper.

Gorgeous!

Woohoo! I won!!

I recently entered a prize draw online to win a hamper filled with Belgian chocolate. I shouldn't have done really, as I'm trying to lose my baby weight and chocolate is definitely not going to help me with this, but I ended up winning and the fabulous hamper was delivered today!

Massive thanks to Lindsey at Heavenly Fountains

Now, where to hide it so I don't eat it all at once...

Hot Pink and Ivory Cupcake Tower

Here's a gorgeous hot pink and ivory cupcake tower we did for Marcia's wedding. 85 cupcakes and a top 6" round cake, all in delicious vanilla flavour. Delivered to the YMCA in Huddersfield, a fabulous venue!
