Throwback to this joyous wedding in 2018 at gorgeous shot by

***A new design for 2025***

The Floral Faultline class has been such an unexpectedly big hit, that we started to think that it could be a wonderful wedding design due to it’s delicate beauty. I’ve worked it up here into a three tier using delicate floral piping in blush, neutrals and soft blue. I’m loving this colour scheme at the moment and seeing more and more blue creeping into wedding design.

I’ve finished this with a touch of gold to really make it pop.

I really enjoy experimenting with techniques that enable me to create designs that are as intricate as my sugar flower centrepieces. I think that this approach enables you to have some of that sugar flower magic, even if you prefer a buttercream finish for your big day.

I’d love to hear from you if you’d like me to create your version of this cake in 2025.



And if you’d like to find out how to make this for yourself, I’m teaching the class on Thursday! We have two places now available due to a cancellation.

Spaces are still available for my Vintage Cake Class at on Friday next week! This was a pretty Christmas tinged version created in class last month.

I’d love to see you there. You’ll learn how to torte and fill your cake, make super smooth American buttercream, crumbcoat and ice your cake, colour your buttercream in your chosen colours and then explore a range of Lambeth style piping techniques with a variety of different nozzles. Then take your cake home to devour!

Throwback to a real fave of mine. Lush couple, gorgeous venue and a simple but stunning design. I love creating ombre effects in watercolour. I’m never sure exactly how it will come out but I have to be brave and go for it! Every one is unique.

I’m hiding away replying to emails by the fire today. I am very much not a cold weather human!

A lovely throwback to E&H’s beautiful wedding last year. This was one of my favourite cakes of 2024.

I specialise in incredibly realistic and natural sugar flowers. Taking inspiration from my own cut flower garden and your wedding florists work to create edible works of art!

The summer months are very busy but I do have some slots remaining for 2025 weddings. Do drop me an email if you would like more information or a rough no obligation quote.

Thank you to for capturing another gorgeous cake cutting 💕

New flavour!

I’ve added a new flavour to the boxes this month to get some feedback from my lovely 2025 couples.

This one was developed for a very special 6 year old customer! It’s proved popular with my family.

A rich Belgian chocolate and peppermint sponge, filled with a pale green mint choc chip buttercream with secret special ingredient!

What flavour would you love to see on my menu?
