Our studio is filling up with spring sugar flowers, one petal at a time.

A Tim Burton inspired circus cake for an 18th Birthday. Chris modelled the figurine on the birthday girl who was dressing up as the ringmaster.

I bought the mini cupcakes - Daddy is flat out making wedding cakes

We were lucky enough to have some of our spring cakes featured on Polka Dot Bride

We are loving all the birds, sweet blossoms and radiant colours.

bring on the warmth

Ah Spring… I am loving all the blooms, the streets lined with pink cherry blossoms and the rustic elegance of poppies.

The spring issue of Wedding Style Guide has an amazing shot of my favourite flowers, poppies on the cover of the new issue and a sketch of some of Chris’s cakes.

Check out the beautiful simplicity of a 5 tiered cake with yellow and white grosgrain ribbon and hand made garlands. Beautiful for a bright spring or summer wedding.

Spencer, our now 4 year old, set Chris a mammoth challenge this year for his birthday cake.

A standing up, three dimensional transformer (No less). We tried to change his mind or at least Chris did, (I thought it would be an awesome challenge) but we could not  sway him to a less difficult cake.

The transformer took Chris over 15 hours to construct and less then 10 seconds to demolish.

Car cakes have become Chris’ speciality and last week’s F1 Ferrari was such a hit, the 70 year old birthday boy did not want to cut it.

I know it has been said a million times but simple things are often the best.

A couple of years ago we made an elaborately simple ( strange I know ) cake for the beautiful Alison.

We created small gift boxes in brown with ivory ribbons and ivory boxes with brown ribbons in chocolate mud with white chocolate ganache and stacked them on a hand made stand - visually this was stunning and simple.

So for her 30th Alison came up with another beauty

The cake is based on Alison’s favourite perfume box and again is an ode to style and simplicity - I am sure Coco would be proud.

After a hectic wedding season it is great fun to stretch Chris’ creative skills beyond tiered cakes and showcase his amazing sculpturing ability.

Earlier this year we were approached by an Egyptologist to create a cake for his 30th Birthday, he had very specific ideas about what he wanted, which is fabulous as with lots of information and collaboration the resulting work is always amazing.

Chris created a Sphinx with the head of Tutankhamun. The body of the sphinx was a marbled white and dark chocolate mudcake to emulate sandstone and the head was hand sculptured styrofoam covered and decorated in fondant icing and painted gold.

Thank you to Ron for the fabulous brief and I hope you had a great 30th
