Vintage wedding cake at Wilton's music hall

This lovely cake was made for a gorgeous vintage style wedding at Wilton's Music Hall in East London.  It combined cascading vintage style sugar roses and classic ribbons with a contemporary double height tier.  It looked beautiful set up on the stage of the old music hall, which must be one of the most gorgeous and unique venues in London.  Sadly, it is in danger of closing, so needs everyone's support to stay open.  Go along and check out one of the many plays and concerts they put on there, go for a drink in the bar and recommend it to people looking for a characterful event venue in London - http://www.wiltons.org.uk/

Roses are red ...


I have been making lots of handmade sugar roses for lovely summery cakes over the last few weeks.  Big soft roses look beautiful on any cake and can be carefully coloured to match the flowers in bouquets and table centres.  From contemporary white to vintage dusky pink and apricot, there is a rose for everyone.

Tropical Sugar Flowers

This wedding cake, with cascading handmade sugar flowers, was made for a tropical themed wedding held in the beautiful Sussex countryside.  The bright colours and interesting shapes matched the flowers in the table arrangements, while the cascading orchids were made to pick up details of the brides bouquet of cream orchids.

Christening Cookies

Iced cookies make a lovely gift for a new baby or for a christening.  I recently made these cute girly cookies for baby Tallulah's christening.
