Sarena and Jason's Wedding Cake

Sarena and Jason were married at the beautiful Llangoed Hall a week last Sunday. The couple knew that they wanted a cupcake wedding cake from the outset. The motif of diamonds ran throughout thier wedding day with little gems featured on the wedding stationery. We decided to keep the wedding cake to shades of white and silver for an elegant sophisticated look which would highlight the touches of sparkle we added to the cake in the form of the pretty brooch at the centre of the top tier cake and the edible glitter we used on the sugar rose cupcakes. To carry the diamond theme through we scattered varying sized gems on the table and in between some of the cakes on the stand.

Sarena and Jason opted for a mix of 'british' style cupcakes (vanilla and lemon in flavour) and 'American' style cupcakes (sumptuous chocolate, coffee and cream and chocolate orange in flavour). The top tier cutting cake was a chocolate orange cake.

I've just returned from a short break in the sunshine to recieve a cd from Zoe and Mark of their official wedding photos of their candle-lit cake and cookie favours from their lovely wedding at Homewood Park at the beginning of July:

A big thank you to Zoe and Mark for their kind thanks and for sending these lovely images through, it was such a pleasure making their cakes and cookies!

Claire and Tim's Wedding Cake

Another beautifully sunny weekend for a beautiful wedding on Saturday. Claire and Tim hosted their wedding at the lovely Llangoed Hall near Brecon.

The very talented Claire and Tim designed their own beautiful wedding stationery in pale pinks and blues with a butterfly motif reoccurring throughout and so we absolutely had to feature butterflies on their wedding cake. Each butterfly was hand piped using pink royal icing and then over piped in pale blue, topped off with a little extra sparkle! The top tier cutting cake featured a piped design in white royal icing which mimicked an embroidery detail from Claire's dress.

Claire and Tim chose Raspberry and Vanilla Swirl, Sumptuous Chocolate and Lemon Meringue flavoured cupcakes with a raspberry and vanilla whirl top tier cutting cake.

Summer Garden Cupcakes

I love pink and green together. If you choose pale pastel colours you will have a pretty vintage chic effect, - with deeper fuscia tones you get a vibrant, funky romantic feast for the eyes. Lovely. These british style cupcakes topped with poured fondant icing are decorated with vine-like white royal icing tendrils and intricate hand moulded roses.

Pretty in pink

Earlier this year I was contacted by a lovely lady who had seen iced's cupcakes at a friends wedding and wanted us to make her cake for her wedding at Homewood Park located just outside Bath.   It was an absolute pleasure working with Zoe and Mark to design their cake.  They picked four different flavoured cupcakes: sumptuous chocolate (moist belgian chocolate cake with white chocolate buttercream), ginger lemon (ginger cake with zesty lemon buttercream frosting) vanilla vanilla and carrot cake, which were decorated with handmade sugar roses, butterflies, daisy clusters and gerberas.  The top tier cake was a lemon drizzle cake sandwiched with lemon buttercream.  

   

We kept to a colour palate of white and varying shades of pink to match the wedding flowers and bridesmaid's dresses.  The couple also decided to order iced cookies for their wedding favours.  We made rugby ball shaped chocolate cookies for the men with a hint of cobalt blue to match their neckties, four mini heart shaped vanilla cookies in different shades of pink for the ladies and special sparkly vanilla teddybear cookies for the little guests.  Zoe hand wrote tags for each cookie with the guest's name on the front and a personal message on the reverse which was a lovely personal touch.    

 

Many thanks also to Zoe's wedding planner, Julie from The Wedding Genie who ensured the whole set up process was fantastically smooth!
