Birthday cupcakes in action!

BRIDES magazine- July/ August 2012

Recent feature in BRIDES magazine, showing you how to crystalize your own pansies for a pretty homespun cake. All the pansies on the cake that we supplied were grown organically in our garden away from nasty pesticides. We only use pasteurised egg whites so there is no danger to pregnant ladies and the elderly! Although if you buy eggs from a reputable source such as a supermarket you should be fine. Just want everyone to know how to crystalize flowers safely!

We love how pretty the cake turned out and the pansies looked so delicate with their sugar sparkle.  What do you think? Would you have a flower themed wedding?

Jade Jagger's Wedding Cake!!

Jade Jagger's Wedding Cake

You might have heard that Jade Jagger got hitched this past weekend to DJ and all around cool guy Adrain Fillary in the fabulous Cotswolds. She designed her own wedding gown, accessorized with a gorgeous golden tan and naturally beautiful tousled waves. Even more exciting news, guess who made the cake?! That's right it was us! Unfortunately for now we've only got a cheeky little snap but we couldn't wait to show you all! It pretty much sums up the mood of the day, relaxed, fun and opulent the perfect rock star wedding. What do you think? What mood would you go for your big day?
Promise to post again soon!

Hoppy Easter!

Forgive the terrible pun! Just thought it was in keeping with this eggcellent time of year! We made these two happy easter bunnies for two different school fairs, hope the winners are pleased with their cakes. The cakes are madagascan vanilla sponge with belgian chocolate buttercream filling. There is still time for you to order your own easter cake and we have several different variations including much less wild ones for a sophisticated grown up party- so do get in touch.

A very Happy Easter to you all!!
