Purple Lace Cake at The Grand Connaught Rooms The wedding season is here, hooray! Now all the sketches in the book can come to life, and here is the first I’m blogging (need to catch up). Being in London means I (or we) get to deliver wedding cakes to all sorts of different venues, some are stately, modern, simple, ornate and sometimes we’re even lucky enough to only have to deliver 10 minutes away to The Grand Connaught Rooms in Covent Garden. With it’s high ceilings, gorgeous chequered reception floor and beautiful chandeliers, The Grand Connaught Rooms is a popular

Lace wedding cake, London

So not long after saying I preferred the piped lace style, I have a bride who is in love with a cake by Cotton and crumbs, based on a design by Peggy Porschen. You still following me? Its an ivory cake with white lace applique, everyone loves white on white wedding cakes. Very romantic and very vintage. I tend to deliver cakes assembled, so this four tier was taken as is.

This cake was designed after the lovely Carla Thomas, of Carla Thomas Photography contacted me about designing a cake for a Titanic themed shoot.

This is me avoiding a ‘My first post on my new blog!’ post.

…Because I’ve found that when I read that on a blog, its NEVER updated.  So this is me with the first post of the blog, but hopefully not the last. I really hope to do this properly, which is why I took a while to make the decision on whether to blog-or-not.  I’m going to be going all retrospective for a few weeks and I’ve had an amazing  first 6 months as part of the London wedding industry and I want to document it all. Well not all, but there’s been some shizzle too cool to allow to just fade
