Cake love: a woodland fairy inspired wedding cake of berries and edible flowers

I wanted to go for a sumptuous over-the-top indulgent wedding cake this week – so I chose this one – what do you think?  It’s a riot of soft fluffy cream, woodland berries and edible flowers.  I love the addition of strawberry flowers and a few unripe strawberries and leaves, it gives it a magical feel, and those tiny sweet mushrooms! It’s a real fairytale wedding cake, but one that it attainable if you want to make your own wedding cake or if you’re planning on getting a friend or family member to make it for you.  It has a …

Cake love: a lavender wedding cake stack of crepes

What a pretty wedding cake this is, what with the dusting of icing sugar and the decoration of lavender and ferns.  What is most impressive is that it’s made entirely of paper thin crepes – no sponge cake here. There are all kinds of alternatives to your traditional wedding cake, but this isn’t one I’ve seen before and perfect if want something a bit different.  I’m not sure how you eat it – whether you’d cut slices normally, or whether you’d dish out the layers of crepes to your guests – any thoughts? If you are having some French influences …

Cake love: glamorous 1920s inspired moon and stars wedding cake

On Wednesday evening I was lucky enough to attend a press event for An Era of Experience, a brand new hen party or private party package put together by a formidable foursome of businesses.  It was an incredible evening of 1920s glamour and I’ll be sharing details about the evening along with pictures in the next week. It was attending this event that inspired my choice of wedding cake for this week’s Cake Love blog post.  What captured me most about this wedding cake is the charming cake topper, which looks like it might have been delicately cut from paper …

Cake love: a pink blossom covered cake for an Easter wedding

What a lovely idea this is – pressing delicate spring blossom into the icing of your wedding cake. I wonder whether blossom is edible?  I imagine that fruit tree blossom should be edible – any of my flower businesses know the answer? This cake is particularly pretty with its powder blue icing and pink blossom, although I’m not so keen on the rabbit topper – although if you could find a cute pair of rabbit figurines I think it would make for a lovely spring or Easter wedding cake. What do you all think?  Do you like the idea of …

Cake love: a dainty miniature wedding cake in old gold with clematis tendrils

When I was looking for today’s Cake Love inspiration, it was this cake that caught my attention first.  Why should wedding cake’s always have to be big? This one is mini, yet perfectly formed in my books.  There’s not much I don’t love about it – I love the idea of having a tiny tiered wedding cake to cut into (just enough to share between you and your groom I say!), I love the old gold colouring and the tiny beads of icing. I also love the garden flowers that have been chosen to decorate it, in a very understated …

Cake love: a breath-takingly beautiful natural and rustic birthday cake

Today’s Cake Love post is a bit self-indulgent – it’s really a happy birthday cake for my website, to celebrate turning 5 years old.  This is well and truly, possibly my favourite cake I’ve ever seen.  It is, for me, perfection. 1. Firstly…you can see it’s a cake – dark chocolate cakey layers with icing in the middle and on top – there’s no hiding it beneath ruffles and rolls of cream. 2. Secondly…it is decorated with natural, real flowers and greenery – just a few touches, nothing over-the-top or showy. 3. Thirdly…it has pretty fabric flags that say ‘hey! this is a …
