2024 We did it! 🎉To say this past year hasn’t been a challenge would be an understatement. The increasing costs of everything have such a knock on effect. I’ve seen so many incredible businesses close this year due to the cost of living and I would be lying if I said it doesn’t affect us. But whilst these times are sent to test us I can look back on what we have created with pure pride! From working with the most incredible couples, hosting classes and creating new products to being nominated for sugar floral artist of the year I cannot thank you all enough for your support 💕 2025 will be another rough one as we all battle the rising costs but we fight on!! 💪🏻 I cannot wait to see what we will create over the next year, I’m so ready to tackle it head on and you better believe it will be done with cake and sugar 💐 Wishing you a Happy New Year 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣5️⃣ ✨🥂

This Weekend!! We are attending @scottishweddingshow this Saturday and Sunday! Come visit us on stand E37 to chat all things cake! We will have samples to try plus a special show offer for bookings on the day! Not something we offer very often so I highly recommend coming to see us 😉This also means I will be slower on replies. With a wedding tomorrow, set up on Friday and the show over the weekend I do apologies if it takes me a few days to get back to you 💕

This week took us to Inverness for Clare and Graham! Here’s a peek of their sugar blooms ready to adorn their cake! Full with sugar roses, peonies, dahlias, thistles, eucalyptus, ruscus and rose leaves. The beauty of sugar is we can create any flowers even if they’re not in season 💐 Wait till you see the cake 😍

Behind the scenes - set up at @trumpturnberryscotland This cake was a big one but we always deliver our cakes separately and build them at the venue. Plus cakes are Soooo heavy! I always take a kit too and add finishing touches when I’m in the environment, originally I left the initials white but seeing the gold details in the decor I then painted them to match in. And of course take a spirit level! The smaller table wasn’t level so we swapped it out for a bigger table… if that’s wonky then the cake looks wonky for photos. My ocd can’t handle it 🤣 Filming credits to my niece Hollie for this one ♥️

Would you believe that every single piece is sugar and handmade 💐

Bright colours just bring a good mood 💐All flowers we make are sugar! Which means you can have them in any colour or even flowers that aren’t in season but are your favourites! What’s your favourite flowers? 💐

If you have ordered a sample box for collection today we are here until 2pm 💕Our next box will be available in September. We have such a busy wedding season we literally have no more free time to fit any in before hand. The cake designs that are up and coming just make me so excited! We have lots of flowers to start getting prepped for as they take us weeks to make but I think you’ll agree they are totally worth it 💐

My displays need a little refresh but when coming in for a consultation you can see exactly what we are about. Clean sharp finished cakes and sugar flowers. We can even custom made acrylic elements that match details like your stationary to the cake. I’m noticing a shift in cakes this year and lots are going for colour which i am so here for 🙌🏻💐 But really I love a crisp white cake all the same ❤️

Here is a wee behind the scenes adding on those beautiful summery sugar flowers! 💐 This was a display cake so the wires were placed right in. If doing this in real cake you could use post picks or cocktail straws. I had a slight plan for the arrangement but sometimes it’s a case of put them in and see how it looks. I also added them squint to the pleats so I took the tiers off and fixed it at the end 🤣
