<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">One of our favourite wedding cake designs this year was for Sadie and David who got married last Saturday at the fabulous Great John Street Hotel in Manchester.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1v7fMfkPBok/VD_oK8zMtXI/AAAAAAAABMw/np6xkKNfpiM/s1600/P1010983.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1v7fMfkPBok/VD_oK8zMtXI/AAAAAAAABMw/np6xkKNfpiM/s1600/P1010983.JPG" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">From their consultation, Sadie and David knew they had a silver, grey and pink colour scheme so I sent them some ideas of what could be done and they were over the moon!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The bottom tier was covered in edible silver leaf with a pretty stencilled pattern on the second tier down. The cake was then dressed with fresh flowers and placed as part of the entrance display up on the roof terrace at GJS Hotel, stood on one of our white milk glass cake stands. The terrace area is fabulous and definitely worth a look if you're considering hiring somewhere for a wedding or event.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My dodgy photography skills don't do this cake justice and I can't wait to see some professional photos but for now, you get the idea!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Congratulations David & Sadie!! xx</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Last weekend we delivered the cutest Christening Cake for the gorgeous little Noah!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Noah's Mum & Dad wanted a Circus theme to the cake with one clear instruction, NO CLOWNS!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So we decided on a circus tent top tier with a classic red and white stripe and cute sugar animals poking their heads out of the curtains.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The bottom tier had large blue triangles complete with bright yellow stars, all in-keeping with the circus theme with a pretty name plaque on the front.</span></div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The whole cake was sat on a cake board which we also covered in a red and white stripe effect and were really happy with the result!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A couple of weeks ago we drove very cautiously up to the North Lake District to deliver a cake for the lovely Leanne and Andrew who got married at Armathwaite Hall.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y9RF6GdYlU8/VD_j5D3ZwrI/AAAAAAAABMA/Bv6pveB3Cxc/s1600/Leanne%2BMontage%2B2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-y9RF6GdYlU8/VD_j5D3ZwrI/AAAAAAAABMA/Bv6pveB3Cxc/s1600/Leanne%2BMontage%2B2.jpeg" height="313" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The venue is beautiful and the scenery just stunning, unfortunately the drive up involved a lot of rain and early-morning mist but luckily, by the time the wedding was due to start, the sun had started to break through!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Leanne and Andrew wanted a travel-themed wedding cake based upon a suitcase and luggage design complete with luggage tags and personalised hand-made Bride & Groom toppers.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hdsd_tDrbpw/VD_j47NZGKI/AAAAAAAABL8/RcgVjqNQSic/s1600/Leanne%2BMontage.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Hdsd_tDrbpw/VD_j47NZGKI/AAAAAAAABL8/RcgVjqNQSic/s1600/Leanne%2BMontage.jpeg" height="371" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Three tiers of cake, one hand carved in the shape of a handbag and the addition of one artificial tier in the form of a free-standing suitcase to one side. The wedding colour was Cadbury's purple, a very popular trend for 2014 so all of the details were picked out in purple and lilac tones.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">This cake was HEAVY but it went down a treat and was a real talking point between the guests, Leanne & Andrew loved it, saying it was even better than they could've hoped for!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">Congratulations to Leanne & Andrew, one of the loveliest couples I've dealt with yet!</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Last week we posted a photo of a Birthday cake for a 17 year old who had been told he was too old for birthday cake (does not compute!!))</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">We created him a simple yet great looking 6" birthday cake which was three layers of sponge and cost £35, this was the start of our Simply Celebration range., freshly baked cakes made from quality ingredients which look great and can be personalised.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This week, we've added an extremely chocolatey creation to the Simply Celebration range, again three layers of sponge sandwiched and covered with buttercream. This design then has Cadbury's Chocolate Flakes all round the edge and is topped with a selection of chocolates including Giant Buttons, M&M's and more flakes. </span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This birthday cake was made for Ian who wanted to take something with a bit more of a wow factor into his office than the usual supermarket cakes that you usually get, he certainly looks pleased with it!!</span></div>

<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A few weeks ago I delivered a beautiful cake to the Astley Bank Hotel in Lancashire for the wedding of Leonie & Paul who I'd met there a year earlier at a wedding fayre,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Leonie & Paul had chosen a lovely pearlescent blue and white colour scheme which they used in their wedding stationery.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We used this as the basis for their wedding cake design and decided upon a three-tiered cake, covered in white sugarpaste with blue satin ribbon round the base of each tier.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Leonie wanted a cascade of edible butterflies in a big sweep down the front of the cake and we decided an ombre effect going from light to dark blue would look perfect!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ecRhmXgCf4o/U5XXFScnDKI/AAAAAAAABIw/clFZgDLGUdE/s1600/Leonie+Montage.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ecRhmXgCf4o/U5XXFScnDKI/AAAAAAAABIw/clFZgDLGUdE/s1600/Leonie+Montage.jpeg" height="402" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I then added some piped details up the sides of the butterfly cascade to finish the cake off.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #073763; font-family: Georgia;">Leonie contacted me a week after the wedding thanking me for the cake which was three different flavours including Rich Brandy Fruit Cake, Chocolate Truffle & Luscious Lemon, she said it couldn't have been more perfect!</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The couple had chosen some stunning elements to decorate their venue including burlap table runners, beautifully delicate hydrangeas and big pinky-peach roses!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The Naked cake was perfect and the couple chose three different flavours, Carrot, Lemon & Victoria sponge for their guests to enjoy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Victoria is a font of knowledge when it comes to flowers and really took the time to understand the brief before showing me pictures of flowers that were available.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I trust Victoria completely when it comes to flowers and she didn't disappoint, the flowers looked beautiful on the three tiered cake and fit in perfectly with the silk flowers adorning the tables.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A beautiful cake for a beautiful wedding!</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For about 18 months now we've been talking to Brides & Grooms about our Simply Antoinette wedding cake range, simple and elegant designs that don't cost the Earth! The range has been a great success and we add to it each season so we though about coming up with some Simply Celebration cake designs for other special occasions where a factory made supermarket cake just isn't quite special enough!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Last week a friend of mine needed a birthday cake for her daughter's boyfriend who was celebrating his 17th Birthday. The cake was a 6" cake, three layers of chocolate sponge sandwiched with chocolate buttercream before being covered in sugarpaste.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It was then decorated in a simple design using a personalised message on the top, coloured sugarpaste balls round the base and a number 17 plaque on the front, complete with small hand-piped pearls round the edge.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia;">Of course, designs can be tailored with regards to colours, messages, flavours and size. We're going to develop the range by adding some alternative designs for different occasions and recipients so watch this space........</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The last few weeks have been super busy with lots of Bank Holiday Brides getting married so we wanted to bring you up to date on some of our recent cake designs!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Our first cake shown here was for a lovely couple called Katy & Emrys who were having a woodland themed weddings with lots of pretty colours at Shrigley Hall. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Victoria from Lancashire Floristry designed Katy's bridal bouquets which centred around large ivory and soft peach roses with pretty green buds and sage green ribbon so we chose a four tier cake, all different flavours with ivory sugarpaste and sage green satin ribbon round the base. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I then made a mixture of ivory and soft peach oversized roses and lots of filler flowers in ivory, peach and soft green. Katy and Emrys then bought these pretty felt Bird Bride & Groom cake toppers from Etsy which looked adorable on top of the cake. They also sourced a fabulous wooden tree trunk cake stand to complete the look and we loved it!!</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">Our second cake was for a Bride who wanted her dress to be the inspiration for the cake design. Claire got married at the beautiful Monastery in Manchester and had chosen a stunning ivory gown with lots of ruched pleated fabric all coming together at the waist. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: large;">We used this for the basis of the design and finished the cake with a sparkly diamante brooch to create a really elegant look.</span> </span><br />
</div>
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Our third cake was a delicious looking Naked Cake from our Simply Antoinette range, also at The Monastery in Manchester for the beautiful Laura.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The cake was four tiers of Luscious Lemon cake sandwiched with Lemon Curd buttercream and decorated with beautiful ivory and delicate pink roses supplied by Red Floral Architecture before being finished with the addition of fresh blueberries and blackberries.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">This cake certainly had people's mouths watering and it's no wonder, it's one of our most popular designs for 2014!!</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Our fourth and final cake over the Bank Holiday's was this beautiful design for the wonderfully creative Melanie who got married at the wonderful Bolton School.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">For this design we took inspiration from the beautiful fresh flowers done by Victoria at Lancashire Floristry, and the gorgeous damask paper Melanie had used on the wedding stationery that she designed and made herself.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Two tiers of the cake were left plain whilst the other two had a pretty damask stencil all the way round in royal icing to match the wedding stationery. I then made ivory sugar roses </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">along with very pale green individually wired hydrangeas and filler flowers to create several clusters of flowers dotted around the cake.</span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">The cake, the flowers and the venue looked stunning, as did Melanie who had her makeup done by the very talented Debra at Ruby Red Lips Makeup.</span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A couple of weeks ago I had the immense fun of creating a Fireman Sam themed cake for a little boy who was turning 3, I've made all of his birthday cakes and look forward to a new theme each year!! </span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-drW5ha2YRHU/Ux7n5W6SajI/AAAAAAAABFw/iPX_JRXsIQ4/s1600/Cake+Int+14+montage.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-drW5ha2YRHU/Ux7n5W6SajI/AAAAAAAABFw/iPX_JRXsIQ4/s1600/Cake+Int+14+montage.jpeg" height="320" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">We entered the Celebration Cake class and the Wedding Cake class and were pleased to receive a Bronze Medal award for this gorgeous celebration cake with a lace and pearl surround topped with individually wired flowers including roses, hydrangeas, ranunculus, peonies, blossoms and buds!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2tD5_no9VXA/Ux7n5WWHC9I/AAAAAAAABFs/1j55L7W3AHc/s1600/Cake+int+14+wedding+montage.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: purple;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2tD5_no9VXA/Ux7n5WWHC9I/AAAAAAAABFs/1j55L7W3AHc/s1600/Cake+int+14+wedding+montage.jpeg" height="377" width="640" /></span></a><span style="color: purple;">Our wedding cake got some great feedback but we were told in no uncertain terms by the judges that we needed to show off more with competition cake designs, to really wow them with lots of different techniques and effects. So while we absolutely love our new wedding cake designs and know that it fits the Marie Antoinette Cakes brand perfectly, it perhaps wasn't quite right for a competition entry!</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Nonetheless we can't wait to show them both off at our upcoming wedding fayres at The Bowden Rooms on the 27th April and Hilltop Country House on the 11th May!</span><br />

<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wM_0QPrSrd0/Ux7mh3mQ56I/AAAAAAAABFk/co2AG9ufYR4/s1600/Rocking+horse+christening+montage.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wM_0QPrSrd0/Ux7mh3mQ56I/AAAAAAAABFk/co2AG9ufYR4/s1600/Rocking+horse+christening+montage.jpeg" height="350" width="640" /></a>A couple of weeks ago I made a beautiful Christening cake and cupcakes for a little boy called Thomas whose Mum wanted a two tiered lemon cake with a gorgeous polka dot and rocking horse theme.<br />
<br />
Everything on this cake was edible including the ribbon & bows and the rocking horse topper and I think it looked lovely!<br />
<br />
I was really pleased that they enjoyed it so much they've commissioned another bespoke celebration cake for the end of this month, praise indeed!<br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I just love this cake design for a joint-Christening last year, for two little girls Isla & Olivia whose parents wanted something gorgeous but stylish and a bit different to some of the boring plain white Christening cakes you see out there.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After looking at lots of images we came up with this design, pale pink, hot pink, pale Tiffany blue and white with name plaques piped with the girls names on the front. We also incorporated pretty 2D layered flowers and pretty birds to add a really sweet but contemporary feel to the cake.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I think this cake turned out beautifully and is the perfect accompaniment to a girly Christening!</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The weekend before Christmas I delivered my last wedding cake of 2013 to the wonderful <a href="http://www.eaveshall.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #666666;">Eaves Hall</span></a><span style="color: #666666;">.</span> 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!</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">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.</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">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!!</span></div>

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Last weekend was the wedding of Paul & Louise at the very Christmasssy-looking Etrop Grange, Manchester.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Because they were getting married in December they both loved the look of the Simply Sparkles cake that they had seen when I met them at a wedding fayre with sugar crystals completely covering the surface of the cake.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> So we adapted the design of Simply Sparkles by removing the ribbons, adding a simple diamante strip round the base of each tier and attaching 3 pearl and diamante brooches instead of the 1 in the original design.</span></div>

They're £12 each and consist of two half-spheres of sponge cake with buttercream in the centre, they're then coated in buttercream, a layer of marzipan to create a smooth surface before being covered in sugarpaste and decorated in a colour/style of your choice. Shown here are traditional red and white colours but we also love them in deep purple! </span></div>

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">As Lexi is living and breathing Tangled she obviously had all of the character toys so we used these to accessorise the cake and complete the look.</span><br />

<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The cake itself was three delicious layers of Victoria Sponge cake sandwiched with raspberry jam & vanilla buttercream.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lexi's Mum was super duper pleased with the cake when we delivered it and we hope Lexi and her friends loved it too!</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d;">Today's cake was for a gorgeous little boy who is turning 3, I've made his Christening Cake (Hungry Caterpillar), 1st Birthday Cake (Chuggington) and his 2nd Birthday Cake (Finding Nemo) but this year Oliver is completely in love with Disney Planes!</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I was reliably informed by Oliver's Mum that his favourite characters were Ripslinger and Dusty so I set about coming up with a two-tiered design suitable for a fantastic kids party!</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">I covered both tiers in white sugarpaste then set about with the airbrush to get a lovely bold blue and a cheerful bright yellow before beginning to decorate.</span><br />

<span style="color: #20124d;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">Aside from a handmade Dusty & Ripslinger I also added a name plate on the front of the cake in the style of the Disney Planes logo and a row of white billowy clouds round the top of the cake.</span><br />

<br />
A couple of weeks ago we went down to my in-laws in Suffolk as they had arranged a Ruby Doo to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
As keen Cross Country Skiers and the proud owners of a new and very luxurious camper van for them to enjoy their retirement touring round Europe, I wanted to incorporate both of these elements into the cake design.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
I made a sugar model of Chris & Marilyn all kitted out in ski-wear including skis, poles, woolly hats and hip flask for the regular port stops!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The mountain back-drop was a 4" cake topped with rice-krispy-treats moulded into 3 peaks. I used sugar crystals on top of the mountain to create a snowy, icy effect.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Throughout their 40 year marriage Chris & Marilyn have lived in Leeds, Worcester and now Lidgate in Suffolk so I made a wooden signpost with hand painted lettering on, took me a few attempts with shaky hands but I got there in the end!<br />
<br />

<span style="color: purple;">About a month ago I was asked to create a pretty birthday cake for someone's Mum's 70th Birthday. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">I hate seeing boring and old fashioned birthday cakes for people's parents & grandparents so wanted to make something that was gorgeous and stylish and would still appeal to younger people.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">I decided to combine a pretty lace effect, pearls and a selection of pastel coloured flowers.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">A lace mould was used to create the decorative banner round the side of the cake, I then inset blush pink pearls into the detail of the lace to add an extra dimension.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">I made a selection of pastel pink, peach, lilac and purple flowers and added ivory pearl centres and positioned them round the top edge of the cake before adding some large ivory pearls randomly placed inbetween.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">Finally, I used large ivory coloured pearls to create a number 70 on top of the cake.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple;"></span><br />
<span style="color: purple;">The lady who ordered this cake was so pleased with it, her colleague immediately ordered the same design for her Gran's birthday up in Newcastle a few weeks later!</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">During the planning of their wedding, Justin, who is Irish, was intent on finding someone who could create him a large 3D pint of Guinness made entirely from cake, red velvet cake to be specific.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />

<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SbE--t-IHvA/UmZQAP6PPiI/AAAAAAAAA6s/FydlL9Vsbag/s1600/Yemi+&+Justin.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444;"><img border="0" height="210" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SbE--t-IHvA/UmZQAP6PPiI/AAAAAAAAA6s/FydlL9Vsbag/s400/Yemi+&+Justin.jpeg" width="400" /></span></a><span style="color: #444444;">I was so excited and so completely nervous to create this cake along with their gorgeous Simply Sparkles cake, complete with handmade Yemi & Justin cake topper all made in their wedding day colours of chocolate brown and gold.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I loved the enthusiasm Yemi & Justin had when it came to their cakes, packed full of personality and really unique!</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">The delivery of the Guinness cake was beyond stressful, it stood 16 inches tall (it was only supposed to be a foot tall but the groom decided to make it even bigger two weeks before the big day!) and of course due to the shape, was considerably top heavy. We held up a LOT of traffic that day going 10 miles an hour but it got there in one piece and looked amazing set up in the stunning Brindley Room.</span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I took step by step pictures of the making of the Guinness cake so will complete another blog post separately to demonstrate the transformation!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #444444;">I can't wait to see some pictures of Yemi & Justin cutting into their cakes. As for the Guinness cake, hopefully it will be a long time before I have to create another pint glass cake!</span><br />
