Victorian Alencon Lace Wedding Cake

This three tier design featured hand piped, scalloped lace embroidery, Swarovski pearl button detailing and icing roses and hydrangeas. Perfectly vintage!

Regency Elegance

This five tier, vintage inspired design included hand-piped pearl drop embroidery, vintage lace and a hand - beaded corsage to the central tier. The all ivory cake was completed with beautiful flowers, in purple hues. For a twist on tradition one tier of the cake was funfetti especially for the bride to remind her of America.

Lace Opulence

This five tier design included hand piped lace brush embroidery to the base, third and top tiers to echo that featured on the elegant bridal gown. The second and fourth tiers featured regal icing gathers accented with pearl and diamante brooches. Each of the five tiers were lustre dusted in a shimmery champagne hue to further add to the glamorous, opulent feel. The final touch of elegance was provided by vintage pearls to the base of each of the lace piped tiers.

Great Gatsby Wedding Cake

Our Great Gatsby inspired wedding cake and mood board recently displayed at the Glen Yr Afon Wedding Experience. Love the opulence of the 1920's - lace, pearls and feathers.

 

 

Lesley & Steve - vintage elegance

So "en vogue" at the moment is the vintage theme - this time in hues of ivory and burgundy. This cake was created for a couple where the Bride loved fruit cake and the Groom loved Victoria sponge - the solution, a fruit top tier combined with Victoria and lemon sponge cupcakes. The top tier included handmade sugar roses, open roses, tulips, hydrangea blossoms and greenery to replicate the floral displays that adorned the Glen yr Afon House Hotel, and was completed with a handmade, icing bow. The cupcakes, incorporated various vintage nods including pearls, bows, lace and of course flowers. Complementing the table display were Welsh cake favours with handwritten tags and ribbon to co-ordinate with the colour scheme - visit our Facebook page to see more.

Floral Ruffles & Pearls

 

We displayed this design, with fresh flowers, at the Glen Yr Afon Wedding Fayre where the bride and groom fell for it's simplicity and elegance. In order to customise the design, handmade ruffled icing flowers were added to echo the flower that featured on the bridal gown. The flowers were accented with Swarovski crystals and pearls, creating synergy with the Swarovski pearl cascade stand and echoing the pearl embroidery design that featured to the circumference of each tier. The cake featured tiers of light Victoria sponge filled with vanilla buttercream and strawberry conserve, moist carrot cake with spiced mascarpone filling and a traditional, luxurious fruit cake.

 

Nia's Lace Wedding Cake

 

This four tier design created for Nia & Nathan was inspired by Nia's stunning bridal gown by renowned Welsh designer, Stephanie Allin. The cake encapsulated vintage elegance in hues of cream, and fitted perfectly with the timeless beauty of the venue. The bottom tiers of the cake were adorned with satin ribbon overlayed with the delicate lace that that was the focal point of the bodice and detail to the bridal gown (the lace was kindly supplied by Stephanie Allin). The oval brooch to the second tier echoed the shapes featured in the bride's headdress and was customised with Swarovski pearls to compliment the bridal headdress and jewellery. The third and fourth tiers featured bespoke, hand cut icing lace that replicated the pattern of the lace on the bridal gown. The cake was completed with Swarovski pearl detail to the rear, again in reference to the buttoning on the bridal gown. The cake itself featured tiers of rich Belgian chocolate cake filled with layers of sumptuous Belgian chocolate ganache, classic Victoria sponge with strawberry conserve and light vanilla buttercream, and moist carrot cake filled with luxurious, spiced mascarpone.

Flowers and Pearls Wedding Cake

Another cake created for the recent Wedding Fayres we had the pleasure of attending. This four tier design in hues of cream featured a cascade of open roses in varying sizes and was accented with hand piped pearls to alternate tiers (inspired by Tracy James). This pretty, floral design would be perfect for a summer wedding or could just as easily create a striking focal point at an autumnal wedding with flowers in deep, rich colours replicating those of the bridal bouquet.
