Chocolate & Marshmallow Valentines Day Cake!



In addition to the Valentines Day cupcakes that I make, I also offer this gorgeous and deliciously chocolatey cake for just £25!

It's three layers of chocolate cake sandwiched with chocolate buttercream and then covered in two layers of chocolate (milk, dark or white).







It is then drizzled with chocolate  (milk, white, dark, pink or red) and topped with a pyramid of marshmallows.

With a gorgeous sparkly glitter chocolate heart adorning the front, this cake stands on a chocolate covered cake board and comes in a box wrapped in ribbon.




I think this is a beautiful Valentines Day gift, I know I'd prefer this to flowers any day of the week!!

Order yours for just £25!!

Beautiful Vintage Rose Cake!

 
 
I'm completely in love with my latest wedding cake design!
 
I have a book of scribbled designs and design ideas and I've been wanting to make this one come to life for a few months now so I'm very excited to be sharing it with you all now.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 As you can see it's a four-tier cake covered in lovely soft ivory sugarpaste and decorated in a really elegant vintage style.
 
 
 




 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 The hand-piped decoration on two tiers gives it a classical feel where the hand-made sugarpaste roses in soft pink and dusky pink provide gorgeous romance!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To top off the vintage theme, ivory ribbon and lace surround the base of each tier to give it a really delicate feel.
 
Prices for this cake start at £350 for vanilla or chocolate sponge (approx. 120 - 130 ptns)

Gorgeous Valentines Day Cupcakes!


So for this Valentines Day I've designed three cupcake ranges for you to spoil your loved one with and will also be offering a very chocolatey cake which will be on the blog later this week.
 
Cupcakes are sold in 6's (same flavour), supplied in a box with a lovely ribbon.
 
They cost £12 for 6 in vanilla or chocolate with buttercream and decorations as seen in the pictures below.
 
 
 
Delivery can be arranged on Valentines Day for a small fee and a personal message can also be added to your box for £1 so please get in touch to order yours now!  
 
mobile: 07789887177



The first range is the Vintage Romance range which has lots of lovely girly pinks and pale golds.
 
 
All edible, the decorations include embossed hearts, lovely lace, vintage brooches and pretty flowers.








 
The second range is inspired by Romeo & Juliet with ruby-red hearts, mono-grammed hearts and beautiful angel wings.
 
Let me know yours and your loved ones initials and I'll do the rest!




My final range is inspired by Swizzels Love Heart sweets with romantic statements on each cupcake. I think these would be fabulous for a proposal with the words Will You Marry Me? incorporated into the cupcakes

Lots of beautiful brides!!

On Sunday we had a stand at the Lowry Hotel wedding fair where we took along some of our favourite cake designs as well as samples of our two most popular cake flavours; chocolate truffle with chocolate ganache buttercream & luscious lemon with lemon curd buttercream. 



Needless to say the cake samples went down a treat with one lovely lady gobsmacked at how nice they were, comparing them to cake samples she'd had at other wedding fairs and hailing them as "by far the best cake she'd ever tasted!".
 
We really enjoyed meeting all the excited (and some looking a bit daunted!!) brides and grooms to be and hearing about all of their lovely plans.


Not only did we take some of our bespoke couture cake designs but also a couple from our new Simply Antoinette range.

We were really pleased at how well the Simply cakes were received, Brides seemed to love the chic and simple designs over other fussy designs they've seen. Simply Sparkles was definitely the most popular of the day!!
 

 

We also met some fabulous suppliers also exhibiting their wares including Spring Bank Flowers http://springbankflowers.wordpress.com/, Simply Strings http://www.simplystringstrio.co.uk/index.html and Anthony Moran Photography http://www.anthonymoran.co.uk/ .
