Love Swags


Lovely Caroline and her now husband Alun got married at the ever stunning Inglewood manor. Caroline and I met along with her future mother in law to talk cake and after chatting for a while we had a few ideas of the style that would fit her special day- which turned out was less than a month after out first meeting!

 
Caroline decided upon a three tier cake with icing swags that appear to fall down each tier like fabric. A single three inch set of pillars added a little extra height and sitting on top was a pretty little arrangement made by Earth flowers. Luckily there was one extra which we pinned on to the top of the second swag which helped bring a splash of colour to the lower tiers of cake.
I love the idea that the love sign was Caroline's something borrowed from her Nan.
 
 
Alun's contribution to the wedding was this very fine looking double decker bus which transported all their friends from the local village pub to the church in the centre of town and then on to the venue.
  
 
I think it's a fabulous idea and a great way to have all the guests arriving in one go- and a very good contribution from the groom. It looked great sitting in the centre of town when I drove past later that day.

 
I wish you all the best for your future together you lovely people. Thank you for choosing us to be part of your big day!

Perfect pink birdcage

 
I just love the delicateness of this six tier cake. It's not often that those two words go together- delicate and six tiered. But the colour and the handmade lace decoration along with the domed top tier all help to make  it so.
 
 
The addition of piped pearls to pick out the design, a few tiny pieces of sparkle to enhance and the pinning on of three beautiful fresh roses and the look is so delicate that you forget the size of this stunning cake.
 
 
We finished the cake by trimming up the base boards with a simple bridal white double satin ribbon as it was the perfect ending without detracting from the cake design.
