A cake for a..?

While we have galleries on our website and cakes are placed in either of them, we say that they are just ideas and are there for inspiration and as a guide to what we can produce. We can absolutely make a larger or smaller version of most of the cakes on our website. And we often do.


Our chocolate Cigarellos cake with rich Belgian chocolate buttons can be amended as it is and rather than just buttons can have all manner of chocolate piled high on each of the tiers. Or can be copied as a smaller version for a Birthday cake with simple shavings of chocolate or piles of tasty chocolates! Such a simple cake but so completely delicious.


  

And as a twist, our little bow tie cake was originally made for a baby shower for little Juneaux who was not quite born yet, and based on her clever Mum’s wonderfully designed invitations; which we took great inspiration from. In fact once the cake was made, delivered and eaten, we missed it so much that it’s bigger sister was made for the showroom the week after. Although this could always be a delightful Birthday cake too! Or, with different colours and although hard to believe as it is currently so bright, this would be a great addition to a slightly vintage themed wedding…

 

And what about this box Birthday cake that we made?! A single tier turned into a three tier cake of stacked boxes! Just look at that sumptuous bow and sparkling locket which is all completely edible!

 

 

Two styles collide

A perfect example of two styles colliding to form a cake of beauty. Delicate white beads piped on to a background of hand coloured dove grey icing and hundreds of hand cut petals folded and formed on to the cake that sit around the next like they were always meant to be there.

 

 

A lot of the decorations that we make have to be produced in advance and then stored until they are set enough to sit proud on the surface of the cake but this design benefitted from the extra time taken to make them directly on to the cake. We could then manipulate the icing to perfectly form and set around the next petal.

 

 

I love the way the two styles work so very well together, in my favourite way of having one thing that is the same to tie everything together, in this case it's the colour. That solid white, broken only by the shadows that form around the petals and beading, runs through the cake like a pillar with the last finishing touch of the double satin bridal white ribbon fastened around the base boards and the tiers of dove grey.

I loved every second of making this cake and what a treat that the venue set off the cake in such a stunning way- I have always loved that decadent silver cake stand which, even though its a different shape, tends to set off cakes in such a wonderful way.
