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.

Vintage tea party


This vintage inspired cake in hues of peach and ivory would be perfect for the current trend of "the tea party". This design comprises of a pretty three tier cake with handmade sugar flowers and delicate vintage lace all displayed on a pressed glass stand. Why not accessorise your cake with vintage china, a lace table cloth and pearls to give that extra vintage essence? Mini cakes and cupcakes decorated with handmade icing cameos, shoes, ruffles and flowers complete the vintage look.
