Marie & Jonathan’s Wedding Cake

 3 of my favourite things (if the rustic style can be considered as a “thing”) are probably, Rusticity, Roses and Raspberries. I especially adore dried roses and I absolutely would not know a world without them now.

This cake was created with Marie, the lovely bride. They had a ceramic cake topper which was assembled on-site which is why the top was left empty (although I kind of like it this way).

The cake layers are flavoured with earl grey tea and lemon and the cream is mildly scented with lavender. Too much lavender renders its flavour to be soapy. I love how the upward strokes of the cream lends it a really rustic look.

Jonus & Evangeline’s Engagement Party

Processed with VSCOcam with a6 preset

This was just a little something we did for the lovely couple. I find that engagement parties are a good way to try something new and not just stick to the usual wedding colour palettes. Most people choose pink, purple or blue. But I was really happy when the lovely couple gave us room to create. It’s always very fulfilling, truly doing something you picture in your mind, when it comes to styling, flavours etc. I was very happy to find out that my partner in crime, Wini, was also asked to provide the centre-piece cake! Which made the whole process very smooth.

Winifred has taken wonderful pictures with her pro camera, my make shift editing has not done it justice. Check her post out instead!

T’s 21st Birthday Cake!

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of creating this rustic cake. T asked for the colours to emulate a cross processed photo. We chose to use teal and ivory and a gorgeously bright pink kenya rose to help the colours pop! We also customized a bunting with twigs, kraft paper and twine. The flavours housed under the buttercream are rose, raspberry and pistachio and millionaire’s chocolate cake. We hope you enjoyed this T! Happy birthday!
