Experience
cakesFaqQuestion1
Well my first answer is whichever wedding I’ve just done as I tend to be on a bit of a high after all my deliveries, but inevitably there are some couples or their cakes that stand out for me. Setting up in the middle of the countryside at Clockhouse Barn whilst England were playing in the semi final of the World Cup was interesting, the entire guest list were crowded around the big screen cheering them on whilst I tried to keep a steady hand and build a cake! Assembling a 6 tier extravaganza in a limited time in the Great Hall at Hampton Court Palace whilst a couple of lingering American tourists watched and commentated and taking cakes on boats or foot bridges to less accessible venues. Many memories!

When it comes to cake planning generally less is more, Just because you like everything in a portfolio it doesn’t mean putting it all on the same cake looks good!

Well I love my personalised toppers, made to look like the couple and designed as a keepsake. Probably my favourite pair were ones with a nod to Harry Potter as they had a very, very romantic proposal at the Studio Tour which we worked with on the cake ... and I'm a huge Harry Potter fan

After initial email or phone discussions couples come for a complimentary design and tasting consultation, this lasts about an hour. Following this I am able to give an accurate quote, a £100 deposit confirms the booking.

Probably a pretty floral cake with personalised toppers sitting on a middle or lower tier so they become integral rather than the focal point.

I made my daughters christening cake 30 years ago and got the bug, as simple as that. I made my first wedding cake a few years later, fell in love with sugar flowers and started experimenting, I was lucky enough to be in a position to give up the day job and get immersed in Cakes & Drapes

I’ll have to think about that one!
