Vintage glamour is the current catch cry of many couples we are seeing and with that we have been designing some really beautiful and elegant wedding cakes.
There is a real tread towards the classic, waspy style with lots of white on white, ivory and old fashioned elegance.
Think intricate piping, sugar flowers, monograms and lots of tiers.
Here are some of our classically elegant cakes
Already this year Chris has created some spectacular cakes, but this week he blew the roof off with an amazing variation of one of our signature cakes.
We originally created the Dragon & Phoenix design in late 2008 in a blue and white colour scheme. Sylvia approached us earlier this year to create her wedding cake based on our Dragon & Phoenix, we customised it to suit her by using the bold black, white and red colour scheme and a different stylised version of the dragon & phoenix. The double happiness cake topper was hand cut by Chris and just takes the cake to a whole new level.
One of the best things about designing a cake and producing something amazing is close consultation between the client and Chris, this is truly how the magic happens.
When I think of the colour grey in relation to food, it produces images of my step dad over boiling broccoli and brussel sprouts. So what do I make of grey cakes ? I LOVE them and it is only a colour after all, not the mushed up veg to go with it.
Chris created this awesome cake late last year for a photo shoot which unfortunately hit the cutting room floor. We really love using bold colours and interesting design features and the combination of grey, yellow, black and white is a real winner at cake occasions. I also think it is a colour combo to watch, just this morning when I was reading the Wedding Paper Divas Blog they had a post this very colour combination.
This image was sent to us by Shannon and Kristian who had a relaxed pre Christmas wedding in Bondi.
Chris was given a brief to create a cake featuring the lotus flower and using pinks, whites and greens to match. Here are the sketches he created for this couple.
It looks like a beautiful casual wedding and I love that the bride wore teal !!!
Earlier this week Chris and I went on a reconnaissance mission for an upcoming photo shoot.
We popped into our favourite ribbon supplier Pan Pacific who have a small hole in the wall overflowing with spools of every conceivable ribbon.
A beautiful stripped pink, grey and white grosgrain ribbon caught my eye and I thought it would make a lovely colour pallette for a wedding, baby shower or little girl’s christening. It is a really nice change from the much used pink and brown combination.
Here are some ideas inspired by the colour combo.
