Ombre....

We love a bit of ombre, and right now it's reminding us of sunnier days...  

We think it's a beautiful eye catching trend that is perfect for weddings.

Pretty in pink ombre cake starting from £60.00

So easy to do yourself, spray paint bottles in shades of pink

These flowers are perfect! 

So cute for a bridesmaid

Naked Cakes!

Naked cake, Sandcastle cakes: delicate, beautiful and so tasty...

We love naked cakes at Pat-a-cake. 

By 'naked' we mean without layers of marzipan and royal icing. A moist plain sponge filled with buttercream and fruits. Simple is beautiful, perfect for the modern couple.We think they are the tastiest and if taste is just as important as the look to you on your wedding day then these are the cakes for you....

We were recently featured on the Brides Magazine website talking about naked cakes.  

Let us know what you think, would you have a naked cake for your wedding day?

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!

The cakes are from left, white chocolate and swiss meringue buttercream cake with belgian chocolate filling, £85, serves 30, £150, serves 60, £105, serves 40. But we could do any flavour combination, it's a very versatile cake. It was extremely fun experimenting with all the different ruffles- hope you enjoy the pic!

                                                                                                                                                                                Take a look at our Madeleine Wedding Cake featured in the May/June edition of Brides Magazine. We are very happy with the final shot, it looks so delicious!
We also have it on good authority that it smells pretty divine as well, with the freshly baked madeleines. In lemon and almond the cake is a refreshing change from chocolate and vanilla and would look so elegant at a relaxed informal celebration with all your friends.
