The weekend before Christmas I delivered my last wedding cake of 2013 to the wonderful Eaves Hall. The lovely Charlotte & Leon were tying the knot in front of their gorgeous two boys as well as lots of excited friends and family members!

When I first met them, Charlotte had a picture in her mind of what she wanted along with a clear colour scheme of blush pinks, dusky pinks, ivory and pale antique green. She wanted flowers, ruffles and pears and this cake brings all of those together in what I think turned out to be something really unique and beautiful.
As they're a family with a firm sweet tooth, they decided to break from tradition and ditch the traditional savoury canapés after the ceremony and instead offer their guests with a selection of individual mini dessert treats.
Included in the selection were;
Chocolate-dipped Marshmallows on Sticks
Pink Candyfloss on Sticks
Mini Meringue Kisses
Heart-shaped Rice-krispy Marshmallow Treats
Luscious Lemon Mini Sandwich Cakes
Butterscotch Mini Sandwich Cakes
Chocolate-dipped Strawberries
Lemon Posset Shot Glasses
Chocolate & Honeycomb Mousse Shot Glasses
Strawberry, White Chocolate & Mascarpone Trifle Shot Glasses
The guests were very polite and didn't touch a thing until they were given the go ahead from the bride, at which point they were apparently like vultures and cleared the while thing within minutes, luckily we'd arranged for top-ups of each item for the evening reception!!!
Charlotte also wanted a bit of a candy table in a different room at Eaves Hall and had asked for a selection of individually decorated cupcakes in her dusky pink and ivory colour scheme to be placed in some gorgeous glass domes supplied by the lovely Rebecca Karen Wedding Design who had done all the wedding stationery and venue dressing for the day and I have to say, the venue looked amazing with such beautiful details in each room!
This was the first dessert table I'd done for a wedding and Charlotte & Leon couldn't have been more enthusiastic and open to my ideas, as well as the two boys who were both quite vocal about their favourite desserts!!
Such a lovely couple and family, I was honoured to be involved in their day and was even more delighted when both Charlotte and Leon came into the room before the wedding started to see the table, Charlotte was overwhelmed and almost started crying before her bridesmaid stepped in and told her not to ruin her make-up!!
All in all I was super-duper pleased with how everything turned out and will be adding details and prices of dessert table options to the website early this year.
