Daisy Hill Cake Co - on a pedestal!

We were really surprised to see how many hits our website was receiving from the US - until we discovered we have been featured on an american based wedding planning website! The article discusses the use of pedestal cake stands - which we simply adore for showing off our cakes to the max! There's no need to spend a fortune on a new stand for your cake - ask your granny, your auntie, your future mother-in-law etc to raid their cupboards, we can almost guarantee at least one of them will have a great cake stand stashed away and will love the opportunity to put one to good use!

Classy Cake in Brides Magazine


We are thrilled with the picture of our Classy Cake in the 'Winter Glamour' feature of July/August Conde Nast 'Brides' magazine. The design is so versatile and also looks stunning in hot fuschia pink, deep gold, royal blue, forest green....the list goes on!

Vera Wang Inspiration


When we were contacted by Karen from Australia regarding a cake design for her UK wedding on May 15th, it became apparent that we wouldn't have the opportunity to meet face to face before the big day! After a couple of emails, we decided to use the design of her fabulous Vera Wang dress as the inspiration for the cake making 'knots' out of icing which we then pearlised (we're hoping to get hold of a clearer image when the official pics are ready!). You will see from the image that a 4-tier cake is a whopper! This is because each tier is at least 4" deep by the time we have filled the cakes to the brim with Chocolate Baileys Truffle, Cointreau Orange Cream, Champagne Strawberry and Buttercream etc - yum!

Daisy Hill Cake Co goes Continental!


We were delighted to be contacted by the editor of German Cosmopolitan who wanted to feature our Classy Cake in a feature on all things bling - now we're pondering how to deliver to Germany!

Lesley and Mak's gorgeous day


Lesley and Mak celebrated their marriage in style! A beautiful traditional church ceremony followed by a wedding breakfast with a Hindu ceremony and a sumptuous indian feast and party in the evening. We've included a couple of their wedding photos along with a pic of their delicous White Chocolate Ganache Cake which was simply finished with fresh flowers. I hope you enjoy their photos, I want to see more too! Thanks to Lisa Aldersley whose photography never ceases to impress!

We've been so busy!




Since wedding season madness kicked in at the beginning of April, we have been working flat out to make, bake, create and deliver dozens of gorgeous wedding cakes all over the country. And our blog has been seriously neglected! To make amends, here are some photos taken in our showroom by Mary and Greg of Ashford Daly Photography. Their work is stunning so a visit to their website is a must.
