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?

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!

Pink Madeleines Wedding Cake Featured in Brides Magazine

                                                                                                                                                                                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.

Pretty Spring Cupcakes

We made these pretty spring cupcakes this morning for a birthday party. All the sugar flowers are hand made, roses, hydrangeas and cute little blossoms. They gave us a little bit of spring optimism so we thought we had to share. Hope you've all had a lovely weekend!
