Wedding Galore – Part 2

Hi everybody

So now I have had a short break for a quick camping holiday to Cornwall, I am back and ready to get going on a very busy August and the preparations for the Autumn wedding fayres.

But to finish off the pre-holiday blog here are some more cake pics from recent weddings

 

This first cake was made for the totally adorable Louise & Mike, who held their wedding at the Langdon Court Hotel, near Plymouth. The theme of the wedding was Devon Hedgerows and they wanted a very prettty multi-coloured cake, which I think is summed up in this design. The whole cake was Lemon Sponge, which was suitable for their summer wedding, which was brilliantly photographed by Sarah Lauren Photography (though she didnt take the rather dark photo above – that was all me!)

On the same day as Mike and Louise’s wedding I also delievered to Buckland-Tout-Saints hotel a tower of cupcakes for Lavinia & Magnus.

There was a mix of yummy chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with buttercream icing and individual details on each cake.

 

The final cake was the pretty butterfly cake for Elaine and Andrew in shades of lilac and purple. The swoop of butterflies up the cake matched in with their stationery and decoration details.

I hope you have enjoyed the picture updates. More to come soon.

And now its on to catching up with all the calls and paperwork!

Wedding Cakes Galore!

Evening everyone

How are you all? Sorry for the radio silence – it’s been crazy busy here at Eat Sleep Cake towers.

So the Royal Wedding has been and gone and it was totally gorgeous (LOVED that dress), but obviously my professional interest was focussed on what cakes they would have.

As you are probably aware there were not one, but two, cakes. One for her and one for him and here they are in all their glory!

The top four tiers of the Bride’s Cake (the white one) are totally pretty and romantic though in my opinion the bottom section is a bit OTT. However saying that the level of work and detail involved is totally amazing, and the cake maker made two duplicate cakes ‘just in case’ something happened to one of them and you have to give her credit for that! I doubt there was much sleep in that kitchen over the last few weeks.

The groom’s cake (the chocolate one) was a no-bake biscuit cake made to a secret royal family recipe. I admire anyone who can work to this level in chocolate. It is totally amazing what you can achieve. The man who did the decorations is really well known in the sugarcraft world and demonstrates all over the world and you can see why!!

So not quite the same level of detail but I had three wedding cakes this weekend. One classic, one cupcakes and one of mini cakes. And here’s the pics to prove it!

Simon and Michelle had a top-tier of yummy, moist Carrot Cake, with two sponge cakes as the bottom two tiers. The Gerberas were made from sugarpaste and were the motif for the whole wedding, which was held at the fabulous Dartington Hall, nr Totnes (www.dartington.org/weddings).

Jen and Mike opted for these totally cute cupcakes in Lemon, Vanilla and Chocolate Fudge flavours. The wedding was uber-cool, with cute details (just like the couple) and was held at the deeply delicious Bickleigh Castle, nr Tiverton (www.bickleighcastle.com).

Finally on the Sunday there was Katja and Mark’s ivory and black mini cakes, with their gorgeously elegant monogram that they had designed specifically for them. The cakes were Lemon and Vanilla and fitted in perfectly with their elegant wedding held at Combe House Hotel, nr Honiton (www.combehousedevon.com)

So now the crazy week is over it’s time to look forward. I have a photoshoot this week for the next issue of Wed Magazine (www.wedmagazine.co.uk) so I am super excited about seeing my cakes in print. And I am also going to find some time this month to get my website updated with new pictures and pages, so keep your eyes peeled….

Speak soon my lovelies
