You may have questions how COVID-19 may affect your wedding day so my post today will hopefully will spread some positive vibes and reassurance. Firstly I intend to create EVERY single wedding cake booked. I have spent this week working as usual and very excited to create every wedding cake this year! My cleanliness and hygiene way exceeds the standards implemented by environmental health and I hold the maximum food hygiene rating. If anything my anxiety has made me go a little over the top with cleaning this week, I started disinfecting every single felt tip pen yesterday Stock/Ingredients A ..read more

I absolutely love gingerbread so when Gemma and Pete asked me to create some gingerbread to their semi naked wedding cake I was super excited. This recipe is super easy, super delicious and yet naturally eggless, dairy free and vegan. If you like your gingerbread crispy leave in the oven for just a minute or two longer and store in a air tight container. If you like them a little soft then they will naturally do this being left out in the air on a decorated cake. I personally prefer when they go a little soft and chewy! Ingredients Needed 200g plain flour 1/2 tsp of bicarbonate of soda 2 tea ..read more

If life gives you lemons... ...I make vegan lemon curd! Not just any lemon curd though, this one is dairy free, egg free, vegan and delicious! This 'curd' is super zesty, tangy yet sweet and is just the taste of summer when layered in a lemon cake. I use this lemon curd in my lemon and elderflower or lemon and poppy seed wedding cakes and also adapt it for lime curd for my coconut and lime cake. I wanted to share my vegan lemon curd recipe for you to try and its fairly simple and easy to make too. I always store it in a recycled glass jar (just sterilize with boiling water) and store the lemon ..read more

I was recently inspired by another lovely baker Sarah at Simplicity Cakes (Sarah’s work is incredible so do check her out!) who created a blog post of an A-Z of cake. I absolutely loved reading it and wanted to create my own but more about aspects of what I do within my little business and your journey having a wedding cake created by myself. So here goes... A – Ask Questions and Advice When planning your wedding you no doubt have lots of questions and need advice. I would hate for someone to feel ‘silly’ asking a question no matter how basic it may seem. You don’t often order a wedding cake a ..read more

These adorable mini shortbread hearts are so cute and look lovely on naked and semi naked wedding cakes. These are naturally egg free, dairy free and vegan too. You don't have to bake hearts, you can use any shape you wish or even bake in a tray. I love hearts so for me its hearts every time! They are so simple to make, you will need... 260g softened dairy free baking block 120g caster sugar 260g plain flour 120g rice flour (found quite often in the gluten free section) pinch of salt 1 teaspoon of quality vanilla extract (I recommend Nielsen and Massey Madagascar bourbon pure vanilla bean past ..read more

Working in the wedding industry you meet so many fellow suppliers and one supplier I love to recommend is Vicky at Grannys China Cupboard. What I love about Vicky is she is so friendly and a right giggle too! She is someone I would really trust if I wanted to hire vintage china because you can tell she genuinely loves what she does and adores everything vintage. I would describe Vicky as a china magpie! She finds all her beautiful china from all sorts of places but maybe a fussy magpie as she is quite particular what she thinks is good enough for her ever expanding collection. Vintage china is ..read more

Naked and semi naked wedding cakes are a wedding cake trend which looks like it is going to be just as popular in 2018. These wedding cakes are perfect for couples who do not like ganache or iced wedding cakes, ideal to match a rustic or vintage decorated wedding venue and also cheaper too so budget friendly. I really love naked wedding cakes I think they are simple yet effective and I love them more when decorated with fresh fruit and a dusting of icing sugar however I do believe there are negatives too. I am very honest and take such pride in my work therefore I do refuse a lot of a naked we ..read more

I have been working hard on a very exciting collaboration with 21 other cake makers from around the UK to create a beautiful English Country Garden for Cake International which was at Birmingham NEC between 3rd and 5th November. As a cake maker, working alone is possibly the most negative part of my job as it can be very lonely. This collaboration we named 'The Lustre Dusters' was formed by lots of friendly cake makers from across the UK communicating online via a cake Facebook group. Our friendships blossomed and encouraged one another whilst working and it was really lovely to finally meet e ..read more

This DIY woodland themed wedding was one of my favourite weddings of 2016. It was so beautiful and my Mum who kindly help me set up and I both agreed it was the nicest wedding decor we had ever seen. There was so many details inside and outside that the very creative bride Lucie handmade herself. From the vintage material napkins, seats painted and covered in vintage material, tables made from cable spools and all her own table decorations and her own flowers (she is a very talented florist!) So much love had been put into this wedding to make it so perfect and you could genuinely feel that lo ..read more
