We make a lot of cakes and a lot of the time a cake may be based upon the dress, invitations or just complemented by the colour of the ribbons that we use to dress the cake. This week was an unusual one as every one of the three beauties we made this week was based on a cake that we currently have on display in our showroom. It was such a treat to have three cakes that were so closely related to the aging beauties that I see here every day.
First is the lovely and eye catching black and white flowers cake which Nicki fell in love with when she first walked in to the store, their theme was blossom and she wanted shades of burgundy and a little sparkle just like the original. Nicki and Iain chose a mixture of Vanilla with strawberry preserve and buttercream, Carrot cake with orange cream and red velvet with cream cheese centre! Utterly delicious.
Second this week is our lovely lace cake, lace panels hand with intricate hand cut out details, these are placed and stuck on to the cake and then details are piped over which lifts it off the page and to life. The ivory icing works so well with deep purple or 'blackberry' ribbon; the rich tones work so incredibly well together and the piping gives even more depth.
Aaand last but by no means least, the very lovely Sarah who chose our 'cascading roses' cake with peacock coloured roses and flowers to be the amazing contrast to the stunning white roses which sat on an ivory background.
Such a fantastic week of cake. What will next week bring?!
