Helen and John were looking for a dramatic yet elegant wedding cake which fitted with their winter wedding. The three principal colours we used to decorate the cookies and the cake - shimmering oyster, white, and a foresty green - were mixed to match the swatches Helen gave me of her and her bridesmaid's gowns. The cake, which was comprised of a base tier of hot toddy fruit cake, a middle tier of madagascan vanilla cake filled with blueberry compote and vanilla buttercream and a top tier of rich belgian chocolate cake filled with orange buttercream, was covered with dark green sugarpaste and hand piped with an intricate white royal icing design before being adorned with sparkling hand-moulded sugar flowers.
Helen and John also asked me to make cookies as favours for their guests, they decided on shimmering oyster and white vanilla bauble cookies for the ladies and shimmering green chocolate christmas tree cookies for the gentlemen.
We made two special cookies for the littlest guests - a christmas fairy for Leah and a Christmas dinosaur for Oliver (what fun!).
Thank you to Helen and John for being such a pleasure to work with. We wish you every happiness!
