I have been a bit remiss lately, and haven’t been updating this as frequently as I should — but I will blame a busy few weeks and hosting the in-laws for Christmas dinner.
We have been creating some gorgeous cakes lately that I would like to share with you, the first one was a really unusual cake, created especially for the winter solstice at Stonehenge, for a lovely couple, Tara and Joe, for their handfasting ceremony
The inside of the cake was a rich and spicy carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.
The next cake was a variation of our ‘Roses & Rings’ wedding cake, this time in a gorgeous hot pink colour scheme, and customised Bride & Groom figurines to match Helen and Mark.
Although the outside was classically traditional, the inside was a fresh and unusual twist, the bottom layer of ‘Vanilla Latte’, a light coffee sponge with rich vanilla buttercream; middle layer of chocolate cake with a white chocolate and raspberry ganache filling; and the top layer of banana sponge with a white chocolate ganache filling.
Finally, we had one of my favorite cakes, Fluttering Butterflies Wedding Cake, this time in a fabulous claret/burgundy colour scheme.
This pretty butterfly design for Jody and Gemma had a bottom layer of chocolate orange — chocolate cake with a chocolate orange filling, and a top layer of strawberries and white chocolate — light fluffy sponge with fresh strawberries and a white chocolate ganache filling.
I hope you have enjoyed these cakes, do let me know what you think!
Three flavours for this cake, Chocolate with white chocolate ganache, Carrot cake with orange creamcheese filling, and Coffee cake with coffee buttercream, each tier consists of 4 layers of cake with a layer of filling in between, creating a gorgeous effect when the cake is cut, particularly when the cake and filling are different colours. This is especially effective for the chocolate cake with white chocolate ganache, and I will be posting pictures of a cut cake soon.
