What is your most memorable wedding?
I honestly cannot pic between two cakes I did this year. The first is a 4 tier silhouette cake showing the couples past and how they came to there wedding day starting from the bottom tier up. The second was a geeky three tier cake done for a couple that loved everything Sci fi and Fantasy. Both where so detailed and meaningful to the clients I loved making them!
Describe your style in 5 adjectives.
Precise, Unique, Creative, Flavourful and Detailed.
What about your business are you most proud of?
Honestly my clients feedback. I am nothing without my clients and there trust and faith in me. The feedback that they give allows me to build my business and for people to know hoe passionate I am about my job. I love what I do and I really feel that people see this in my work, and the best way to get people to know is by other peoples feedback.
What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?
Do what you want to do for your big day. It is hard to accommodate everyone and what they would like, and at the end of the day this is your big day. They should be happy to be apart of your day regardless of where it is at or what you choose to do. Don't be afraid to ask for what you want!
What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?
I love when couples theme there tables. So rather than Table One, Table Two and so on, they choose things linked with these likes or theme. Games, Movies, Books, Disney, anything like this. Table decorations and place names to match the theme throughout too.
Describe your typical process with a couple.
When I see a couple for the first time I will ask a number of questions;
What do they have in mind?
Do they have any pictures?
How many are they looking to cater for?
Are there any dietary requirements I need to know about?
Where is the cake going too?
I look to sketch the design out ans try to translate to them how I see the cake based on what they have given me or described to me. I try to get colour samples, and make the cake to look at much apart of the wedding as everything else if this is what is needed.
After I have sketches done I will offer samples so that the couple know what flavours they can have in their cake. I'm happy to accommodate different flavours that I might not usually do as I want to make this cake everything I can for the couples big day.
I take a deposit once I know we are happy with everything, and I ask that the cake is paid in full 2 weeks before the wedding day.
