When Abby & Daley approached me at a wedding showcase earlier this year, I just knew I had to make their cake for them! Not only did their wedding sound totally gorgeous, but the design ideas they had for their cake were my style to a T! Abby had her heart set on an all white, tall cake with sugar flowers and gold ribbon to compliment her wedding colours.
Following a design and tasting consultation, I sketched a design for Abby that she instantly loved! It featured 5 all white tiers with 2 displays of peony and rose sugar flowers with accompanying foliage and thin gold ribbon wrapped around some of the tiers. It was sketched sitting atop one of my pedestal glass stands, which Abby chose to hire as it suited the cake perfectly! They loved my Lemon Sponge and Raspberry & White Chocolate flavours and chose these for their cake.
I set their wedding cake up on the day in the beautiful ballroom of Easthampstead Park, in front of the ornate fireplace. Floral arrangements from their church ceremony were later repurposed and placed either side of the cake table and along the fireplace, perfectly complimenting the white sugar flowers on their cake.
The generous review I received from Abby & Daley a few weeks later, was just so special:
“From the moment we met Louise at the Easthampstead Park wedding fair, we knew she would be perfect for us! Her attention to the design and detail was exactly what we were looking for! We also knew we wanted something different! I always tend to think that some people don’t care about the cake, it’s one of the last things on their to do list and they get one because they feel they need to. This certainly was not my mindset!
We wanted our cake to be a show stopper, one people would say WOW look how beautiful that is! And I can honestly say, it really was that and MORE! Louise completely got the brief from day one, her 1st sketch was exactly what I had envisaged, and on the day it really was everything I had dreamed of. It had height, elegance, attention to detail, beautiful and delicate sugar flowers, gold ribbon, crisp and smooth white icing and not forgetting it tasted amazing (although we actually didn’t have any of our cake!! We can vouch for the taste based on our sample box but also the compliments we received from our guests!). Any worries or concerns I had with anything, Louise answered straight away, putting my mind at ease and worries aside.
My Husband, Daley, didn’t have much input in the cake, he knew that I had my heart set on a design and left me be to run with it. On the day he was blown away by our cake! I can remember us both standing next to the cake getting ready to cut it and him looking up at it and saying, he had never seen anything like it! That couldn’t be more true and we can’t thank Louise enough for all her hard work, endless hours and patience in designing and making our cake. She really is the most talented cake designer and baker. I’ve never seen a cake like ours, and neither have our guests. It was breathtaking!
The biggest thanks and best wishes, from the new Mr & Mrs Johnson.”
Thank you so much Abby and Daley; you were a joy to work with and I felt privileged to be a small part of your big day.
