This elegant, vintage design was inspired by a wedding dress that featured lace detailing and a pearl buttoned sash to the bodice. The lace was handmade from icing and the sash commissioned to echo the duchess satin of the dress complete with Swarovski pearl buttoning. The overall feel of the cake is chic and opulent and would be a perfect centrepiece at any vintage inspired wedding.

Welsh Rugby Shirt
This cake was commissioned all the way from New Zealand for a very special birthday surprise! The recipient, a massive Welsh rugby fan, received a rugby shirt shaped cake with badges hand cut from icing. The cake itself was Victoria sponge with layers of strawberry conserve and luscious, light vanilla buttercream.
Classic Pearls
This traditional design included Swarovski pearls and handmade sugar roses that encapsulated the classic theme of the wedding. The off-set square tiers create a modern twist to the overall appearance of the finished cake. The couple opted for a luxurious, rich fruit base tier and a simple Victoria sponge filled with raspberry conserve and vanilla buttercream for the top tier.
Knit one, Purl one
The design for this special birthday cake was inspired by an avid knitter. The cake features balls of wool, buttons and cotton reels (all handmade from icing) contained in a woven knitting basket. The colour palette was inspired by spring and included baby pink, pale lilac and a dainty yellow which captured the "arts and crafts" feel of the design. The knitting basket encased a Victoria sponge filled with layers of strawberry conserve and rich vanilla buttercream.
