This design, displayed on an acrylic stand, featured a traditional top tier, mini-cakes and cupcakes. The top tier was accented with hand piped icing dots, overlayed organza and satin ribbons and a Swarovski crystal band to compliment the hand-modelled, icing bride and groom. The mini-cakes, hand piped with icing dots and featuring organza and satin ribbons to echo those of the top tier, were topped with striking, handmade sugar orchids to compliment those incorporated in the floral displays at the venue. The cupcakes were swirled with a "rosette" of buttercream and topped with handmade sugar roses, hydrangeas and blossoms in hues of ivory and pink. The colour theme was continued to the table with scattered petals and an organza bow to complete the overall display. In addition to the cake were traditional home baked Welsh Cake favours for guests which were wrapped in individual bags, hand tied with a pretty organza ribbon and completed with a sparkly gift tag. The top tier cake was a rich fruit cake with the mini-cakes and cupcakes comprising a selection of Victoria sponge (filled with strawberry conserve), luscious lemon sponge (filled with zesty lemon curd) and chocolate cake (filled with chocolate ganache) all topped with vanilla buttercream.

Crystal Chic in the City
The bride had seen and fallen in love with this cake when she saw our display at a wedding fayre. In order to personalise the design, the bride supplied us with monogram cake toppers to accent the top tier. This striking five tier cake with its chic, modern lines fitted perfectly with the stunning backdrop of Cardiff Bay. Each of the five tiers was decorated with a simple white satin ribbon and a hand strung band of stunningly sparkling Swarovski crystals which co-ordinated perfectly with the offset separators. Each of the separators was hand strung with Swarovski crystals which cascaded between the tiers to give the effect of water droplets - a design inspired by Ron Ben Israel and his amazing cake that featured in the film Sex and the City 2. The design was completed with stylish, scented orchids giving a truly opulent and sophisticated centrepiece to the stunning venue.
