Simply Sparkles & 3D Guinness Cake

Last weekend was the wedding of the beautiful Yemi & Justin at The Castlefield Rooms in Manchester.

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.





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.

I loved the enthusiasm Yemi & Justin had when it came to their cakes, packed full of personality and really unique!

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.

I took step by step pictures of the making of the Guinness cake so will complete another blog post separately to demonstrate the transformation!

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!
