Euridge Manor wedding | Louise Hayes luxury wedding cake designer | Contemporary wedding cake

It was a joy to make the lovely Maria & Paul’s wedding cake this Autumn at the stunning Euridge Manor and I’m so excited to share details of their modern cake design with you.

Maria & Paul contacted me to discuss their wedding cake after seeing some of my work and being drawn to my modern style and particularly liked my designs that featured textured patterns.

During our consultation, they described their vision for a romantic, beautifully styled wedding with stunning florals in nude and peach tones with hints of toffee. They wanted a 3 tier cake to cater for their guest numbers and were also interested in my edible wedding favours.

After hearing all about their plans, I sketched some options for the couple that included designs with textured elements, draping and movement. This is all part of the design process with me couples – I gather all of the information about their wedding, them as a couple and cake styles they are drawn to (click here for more information of the design process). After the consultation, my couples are then presented with at least 3 design sketches to choose from. These are totally flexible of course – some couples immediatley settle on a particular design, whilst others like various elements from multiple designs.

Maria & Paul chose a beautiful 3 tier design with mixed tier heights and subtle marbled texturing in nude and peach tones. The different height tiers add a modern feel to a cake design whilst the stone effect marbling adds texture, drawing people in to take a closure look. Their cake design was finished with some beautiful fresh flowers in tones that complimented their cake, supplied by their florist, Wizz & Wild. Their cake took centre stage in the Orangery at Euridge, in front of one of the uniquely beautiful ‘grotto’ water features.

After receiving one of my tasting boxes during the planning process, Maria & Paul chose the following flavours to treat their guests: Raspberry & White chocolate (A delicate sponge with fresh raspberries, a raspberry conserve and white chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream), Strawberry Champagne (A champagne infused sponge with strawberry conserve and a Swiss meringue buttercream) and Lemon (a zesty lemon sponge with lemon curd and a lemon Swiss meringue buttercream).

Maria and Paul also gifted their guests with a delicate and delicious macaron favour that complimented their main wedding cake flavour, Raspberry & white chocolate. Each macaron was individually packaged in a clear box with a delicate white satin ribbon for guests to enjoy at the wedding or take away and enjoy later.
