How I cover my cakes…yes i use the in one method as opposed to panelling…because i hate seeing those join lines even if they are faint.
You can also find trainings and my book through the link on my about page…as well as how to book your wedding cake too.
I know it’s not a video and I know that the algorithm doesn’t favour static images…
But you can’t see it all as well in a video…the damn thing keeps moving lol.
So here’s a carousel full of beautiful images of the most delicious sweet treats and a stunning wedding cake complete with sugar florals…all designed especially for N & P to complement the rest of their elegant wedding…all created from one mood board, the vision of which was tailored and coordinated by the phenomenal Lucy Meehan Events Ltd and her team.
If you would love to have a bespoke wedding cake designed specifically for you, then get in touch today.

Captured deep in concentration by Jayne Lindsay Photography.
I promise I do smile lots normally…it’s just when I’m in the flower zone you see this heightened focus.
And yes, every cake gets this level of dedication…that’s what happens when you’re totally in love with your job.
If you’d like your wedding cake to be the centre of not just my attention but all your guests too, then get in touch today and we can make it happen.
An absolute labour of love creating this stunning design for yesterday’s wedding.

I love seeing people’s reactions when they realise that the florals aren’t real flowers and are in fact hand crafted sugar florals…their shock and amazement is priceless.
Congratulations H & E for entrusting me with creating your dream wedding cake…it was the epitome of elegance and luxury.

It’s so important to consider what season your wedding is in when thinking about your wedding cake.
Here’s 4 tips…
Heat
•think about the heat in summer, especially certain venue styles like barns, teepees, marquees and pavilions.
•buttercream, naked and semi-naked styles are popular for summer though not necessarily practical…consider ganache or fondant as they’re much more stable.
• if it’s hot for you then it’s too hot for the cake!
Cake Table
•think about where the cake table is positioned, often it’s by a window…sun through a window intensifies the strength and makes it hotter…perfect for melting any cake!
•ask your venue/cake designer to have table away from the window when the sun is at peak passing that area.
When to cut
•if it’s a very hot day, consider doing the cutting of your cake earlier than normal, say on arrival at your venue during the drinks reception. This way the cake isn’t sat out for hours.
Flavours
•when picking your flavours there will always be seasonal ones that utilise fruits or flavours more readily available at certain times of year.
Venues in order seen:
Villa Balbiano
Virginia Park Lodge

Love this image of me behind the scenes adding the finishing touches to the cake during a recent editorial shoot I ran with the support of who captured my concentration perfectly.
Ps…for reference, I’m only 5ft so it really was a reach to the top of this cake (I didn’t have my usual folding step with me).

Today I watched Frankie on Loose Women say “as soon as you mention it’s a wedding to a cake maker they at least triple the price!” whilst laughing.
This is absolutely BS!!!! Actually to most cake makers it’s them charging properly or closer to true cost…as in they are paying themselves almost minimum wage as many don’t pay themselves even this!
I’m extremely passionate about getting rid of this “oh it’s just cake” mentality that is out there.
It’s so disrespectful and degrading to the highly skilled professionals that work in the industry I love!
I’m not going to sit back and let devaluing flippant comments like this continue.
Cake designers work extremely hard, continually learning new skills to stay current and we have huge responsibility to execute the visions of clients have.
We as cake designers and creators of edible artworks…are absolutely worthy of charging for our skills properly!
What qualifies me to say this? I’m a multi award winning cake designer, with over 12 yrs experience in the industry. The lack of respect and recognition for the skills & work we do is disgusting. Many cake makers are not earning even minimum wage…certainly far under it for celebration cakes. I pretty sure most people wouldn’t work for less than minimum wage.
Happy to speak more about this should anyone be open to hearing about our industry (or the wedding industry as a whole) in connection to this.

When you’re looking at your venue styling remember to consider where your cake is going to be…to quote one of my favourite films…nobody puts baby in a corner!
Well…not on her own anyway! She deserves to be showcased for all to see. And yes this one is most definitely a she, I often have conversations with my cakes as I’m creating them and with all the time we spend together get to watch them flourish into true beauties.
Back to the styling…so consider where your cake will be placed, have you floral arrangements that could dress the area to make a feature of your cake? Like these gorgeous floral pillars by Nettles Petals in the light and airy surroundings of Rockhill House Estate
Limited 2024 dates, now taking 2025 bookings…get in touch today.
I first met Savannah when her mum & dad came to meet me for their wedding cake design consultation. She drew me the loveliest pictures whilst telling me how much she loves sprinkles. So obviously when it came to Andrea & Robert’s big day, there was no way I was going to miss Savannah out of it all…I made her a little box with her favourite cake flavour and a very sprinkly biscuit…she actually had the first look of the wedding cake too but I didn’t catch that on video.
It’s special little moments like this that create those magical memories that last a lifetime. Don’t take my word for it…watch to the end with the sound on.
And if you’d love the personal experience for your wedding cake, get in touch and let’s start your journey.
Ps…I still have the drawings Savannah did me, I’ll show you tomorrow…so hit follow my page to make sure you see them 💕

So last night this happened…
I won the region in NI Wedding Awards 2023 Best Wedding Cake!
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to attend in person, but I’m super happy nonetheless. Especially as this is my 6th year winning…can’t say I’m not consistent with the results!
Thank you to everyone who continues to support me in my cake journey, I really appreciate it!
And huge congratulations to all the other winners and finalists! 🥂
FAQ…How much is a wedding cake?
This is a question that inevitably starts many discussions. Simply asking how much is a wedding cake, is like asking how much is a car…well what type of car…a clapped out banger or a fresh off the line limited edition super car with all the extras?
There’s lots of factors that effect the cost from size, style and flavours to the cake designer themselves as our skills, experience and ongoing training to remain at the top of the profession will have an impact too.
I can only really comment on my own work…each design is bespoke and created specifically for each couple, I work with a limited number of couples each year and exclusively with one couple per week (no other cakes).
So no my wedding cakes and the experience I provide are not cheap compared to many. But I know that my cakes, skills & the expertise I bring are worth it and so are you.
First round of preorders are all signed, sealed and ready to be delivered!

It’s hard to express the sadness so many are feeling. She was a constant in our lives. She was a truly amazing and inspiring woman.

Pinch me I still feel like this was all a dream!
I was so honoured to be a part of this incredible wedding in the iconic surroundings of Villa Balbiano on Lake Como.
So glad I had the opportunity to take a few pics around the stunning grounds before retreating the cake to the cool kitchen ready for the evening…though I was so in the moment I completely forgot to take a photo of me with the cake.
I can not begin to describe the epicness of this wedding. I heard the opera singer from my apartment…that on its own was breathtaking.
Do you love the magic of Lake Como???
This fab couple secured their wedding cake way back in September 2020. Nadine then fell in love with a design I’d done with a clear acrylic tier…accept instead of all white we had a major switch to the dark side!
Soooo many details to their design…paper flowers to match her paper bouquet with sugar foliage to compliment, hand piped dots on both the bottom tier and the acrylic tier plus a custom edible sparkles mix.
It’s never too early to secure your date…my 2024 diary is now open. Get in touch to secure your exclusive wedding cake.

~ From a bride ~ It’s always good to hear from my couples after their big day, usually it’s a message or a card maybe. But I asked Maria if she’d do a little video for me and even though it was totally out of her comfort zone, she sent me this amazing video message. Some things are better spoken than written…just like this. If you’re looking for your perfect wedding cake with a personal experience too, pop me a pm or email me at [email protected] and let’s chat wedding cakes.
