Romantic roses, bows & crystals

This striking five tier design encapsulated a romantic feel with a modern twist. Each tier of the cake was decorated with a band of pretty, cream ribbon roses handmade from icing and a handmade icing bow to alternate sides. To the base of each tier, and adding a modern element to the design, was a satin ribbon topped with a handstrung band of stunning Swarovski crystals which sparkled in the sunlight that swathed the venue. The cake was arranged on a stand featuring fresh hydrangeas and this added extra impact and height to the completed display. The cake itself included tiers of rich Belgian chocolate cake filled with layers of rich Belgian chocolate ganache; moist, spiced carrot cake with cinnamon flavoured mascapone filling and zingy lemon cake with luscious lemon curd and lemoncello buttercream filling.

Vintage Lace & Roses Cupcakes

The cupcake decorations included roses, country blossoms, ribbons and pearls all handmade from icing. A proportion of the cupcakes were topped with swirly buttercream sprinkled with sparkles with the remainder featuring hand embossed fondant tops. The cases were an eclectic mix of plain cases, cases encircled with hand tied ribbon bows and cupcake wrappers all of which echoed the shabby chic, vintage theme. The cupcakes were all moist vanilla sponge filled with a rich vanilla buttercream and luscious raspberry jam.
