Country Romance Cake

We were so pleased to see our Chocolate Country Flowers Cake in the latest issue of 'Brides' Magzine out this week. The feature also has some truly gorgeous images of flowers, table settings, confetti and a very yummy looking lemon syllabub!

Mhairi and Thom's Wedding

Mhairi and Thom's wedding at Inglewood Manor last month was stunning. They chose a crisp, white backdrop, gorgeous mocca bridesmaids dresses and soft pastel roses . Their cake was decorated with royal iced motifs and looked gorgeous set on a vintage silver cake stand finished with clusters of fresh flowers and rose petals. A mocca ribbon around the cake knife completed the look. Apparently the Champagne Vanilla Cake was a big hit! Thank you for the photo Mhairi x

Brides Magazine - Flamenco Cake

Since our ruffle-iced Flamenco cake featured in Brides magazine we have taken commissions nationwide from brides who have fallen in love with its simplistic, romantic design.

We just loved the ‘sorbet’ colour scheme of this wedding with fresh blush roses, beautiful pink peonies and accents of lime – romance at it’s best! (Flowers by Earth).

A Scottish Wedding

With a brief from the bride of an elegant, simple centrepiece with ‘wow’ incoporating a subtle Scottish twist, we created a gorgeous 4-tier cake with traditional pillars dressed with fresh flowers and thistles (flowers by Earth).

The cake looked stunning set up in the Great Hall at Thornton Manor. Photography by Andrew John.

Choux Pastry Swans

We are often asked by brides to create an original centrepiece that can be served as dessert. For Victoria and Mark’s wedding at Thornton Manor, we made delicious ‘choux pastry swans’ which fitted perfectly with the elegant theme of the big day.

The ‘swans’ were displayed on a 7-tier stand, dusted with edible glitter for a bit of sparkle and finished with fresh vintage pink roses – delicious!

Champagne Cake

We are constantly experimenting in our bakery, trying new flavours, textures and combinations. We are addicted to our latest cake flavour – French Vanilla Cake with Champagne, Strawberry and Buttercream and it is now included in our Taster Box, which you can order here.

The addition of bubbly makes it a truly celebratory flavour and is delicious served as dessert – you could have the dessert plates dressed with fresh strawberries and cream as an accompaniment – yum!
