Kelly and Rick's Elegant Champagne Bubble Cake

Kelly and Rick were married today at the Coed-y-Mwstwr hotel near Bridgend. Kelly comes from New Zealand and I think her family have brought the sunshine with them to Wales! Blazing sunshine lit up the lovely bluebell strewn drive this morning as I drove up to the hotel. Kelly and Rick decided upon a simple and elegant four tier wedding cake: two of the tiers were moist carrot cake filled with cinnamon cream cheese frosting and two of the tiers were Belgian chocolate brownie cake filled with white and milk chocolate ganache. Scrumptious!

We decided to keep the design of the cake to a very classic style with white royal icing piped beadwork mimicking champagne bubbles on white sugarpaste, accented with navy bows in a ribbon to match the colour of the bridesmaid's gowns. We topped the cake with an elegant sugar looped cluster bow.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Kelly and Rick to design their cake! Wishing them a truly wonderful day and many best wishes for the future!

Kerry and Nigel's Art Deco Wedding Cake

Kerry and Nigel married on the 27th of December at the lovely Marriott St Pierre in Chepstow. Taking place in the late afternoon, the reception was filled with candles and sparkling shimmering elegance.  The couple's wedding stationery was based on a beautiful art deco theme and we decided to carry this through to the cake design.  I researched art deco patterns and fell in love with the simplicity and elegance of one in particular, when I sent the designs to Kerry and Nigel I was so pleased that they chose the same one! We decided that the pattern should be piped around the top edge of each of the three tiers with silver royal icing (in keeping with the main colour of the wedding), when the pattern dried I then brushed the design with sparkle using a tiny brush so the pattern would shimmer in the candlelight of the reception.  

 

Thank you Kerry for making the design process such fun!  Wishing you both every happiness for the future!
