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

Simple 3 Tier Wedding Cake

My whole philosophy when starting Jo's Cakes was to create stunning wedding cakes that don't cost the earth. I got married in 2009 and know how expensive this one day can be! My wedding cakes are all home baked by me using quality ingredients and then decorated by me, and for a 3 tier cake to serve approx 70 2" x 1" sponge cake portions start from £150. 

This price includes a choice of either ivory or white fondant/sugarpaste icing, all cake boards and dowels and a ribbon trim in a colour of your choice. I can personally deliver and set up the cake for you as well, and this service is free within 10 miles of me in HD4.

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

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

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...

W001 - Three Tier Vintage-Look Wedding Cake with Roses

Here's a version of our very popular wedding cake, this time with dusky pink ribbon detail and soft pink roses.

We delivered this to Hey Green Hotel, Marsden on Sunday for Michelle's wedding - big congratulations! xx

W062 - Four Tier Teal Ribbon and Brooch Wedding Cake

This weekend saw me being quite busy, to say I'm still on maternity leave! I had two cake orders to fulfill and this is the first of them which I delivered to Bagden Hall Hotel (www.classiclodges.co.uk/Bagden_Hall_Hotel_West_Yorkshire) for Fran's wedding.

This was a four tier wedding cake, with the top tier being luxurious fruit cake covered with marzipan, the next layer being vanilla, then lemon, then chocolate cake. Two tiers are square and two are round, adding a bit of interest. There are two brooches on the square tiers and piped detail on the round tiers.

Big congratulations to Fran and her new husband, who sent me this lovely message

"Hi jo

Just wanted to say thank you very much for the wedding cake, it looked great & tasted lovely (although I only managed a bit of the chocolate one, couldn't try them all)! The day went really well & thank you for your message!

Best wishes
Fran"

Jo's Cakes at Storthes Hall Wedding Fair

On Saturday 3 December we had a stall at the wedding fair organised by the lovely people at Storthes Hall. 

Our stall looks a bit sparse - I wasn't expecting to have such a huge table, as usually we only get a 6ft table so I had enough to fill something this size! I spaced my dummies out a bit LOT more than usual though and made the best of it! I also forgot to take my portfolio with me, which was a stupid mistake. I'd been rushing about though delivering and setting up some wedding cupcakes beforehand. Note to self - be more organised next time! 

There were some great exhibitors there including Conners Photography from Halifax, Heavenly Reflections bridal wear from Milnsbridge, Huddersfield and Elegant Chairs from Huddersfield. xx

ANOTHER Wedding Fair?

I've done a fair few wedding fairs this year, and wasn't going to do any more as I'm pregnant and the thought of being on my feet all day just didn't appeal to me for some reason! However, when I got an email from the lovely Jess at Storthes Hall Park, I jumped at the chance to exhibit. It's a lovely venue, and has a bit of character - the site used to be a hospital for mentally ill patients. My gran worked there when it was a hospital, and I had my wedding reception there!

It's a fabulous place, with beautiful grounds. Roll on Saturday 3 December for the wedding fair - why not pop along and see us there? There'll be cake... ;-) x
