So the new year has been and gone and we are all struggling to stick to those pesky (but well intentioned) New Year’s resolutions. 2014 was a quiet year wedding wise for us but a busy year all things cake, all things business related and all things wedding.

So today I thought I would share a few that really stood out for me, and that I had the best time creating.

Hayley & Tris – 12^thJanuary 2014

Hayley and Tris had a gorgeous winter wedding and my first wedding for 2014. I creating a dessert table for their wedding reception at Revolution De Cuba in Derby (apologies about the photo quality the venue was very dark).

It was a very last minute wedding order (only a months notice eek!!) And to try and keep costs down for them the bride had the idea for me to simply decorate Costco cakes for their desert table and create a wedding cake to match. A little bit of a hairy experience in places as the stability of the Costco cakes was interesting but lots of fun to do just the icing and decoration for once.

Sarah & Dave – 9^thAugust 2014

AKA Mr & Mrs Sugared Rose I couldn’t really not include this one could I?! I am not going to go into detail with this one now though as you will see why on the blog very soon… (Photo's by Chris Seddon - Wedding Photographer)

Vicky & Chris – 14^th September 2014

I love, love, loved this wedding cake! It had been a while since I had created a tiered cake covered in ganache instead of fondant and it was my first order since getting hitched myself so what a cake to get back into the swing of things!

Loads of white chocolate ganache and an abundance of hand crafted sugar roses and flowers. Vicky and Chris were a really lovely couple and this one was a real joy to do.

Estelle & David - 6^thDecember 2014

Our last wedding of 2014 and a very different style for me and a wonderfully glittery one to end on. Estelle first contacted me at the beginning of the year looking for a wedding cake that combined both her French heritage and David's wish for a traditional white wedding cake, so a cake pop cascade in a nod to the croquembouche became our answer.

Such a really lovely and genuine couple, we had many get together's to create the couples vision Estelle also sent me a really lovey email after their day which really made me smile and even now I am still finding red edible glitter in the kitchen.

So that’s it. A little short and sweet round up blog post today but please stop by again soon.
