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 !!!
When we consult with our clients on the design of their cake we like to add personal touches to make the cakes unique to them.
Recently we have made two fantastic cakes that used items of sentimental value to inspire the design.
The first cake was for Mikaela’s christening - the piece of fabric that adorns the cake was part of her Grandmother’s wedding dress and had been used to make both Mikaela’s christening gown and her mother Nicole’s christening gown.
The second cake Chris made was for Noah’s 18th birthday, his mother commissioned us to sculpt a Noah’s Ark. After doing a bit of brainstorming, she remembered that Noah’s grandfather had given him a rustic, wood carved ark as a baby and this is what we used to make the cake.
