Wedding Cakes

One of THE most important days in your life! Let me help you create the cake of your dreams! Whether its a 4 tier chocolate extravaganza you want to use for dessert, a two tier beautifully moist fruitcake you want to serve with tea and coffee or handcrafted cupcakes for everyone to take away something special from the day.

Whether it is a previous cake from my collection or a picture in a magazine you love, bring your thoughts to me and we can work together to create your very own personal wedding cake. If you are thinking of using fresh flowers and or ribbon to decorate your cake I always recommend that you source these yourself to ensure they match your colour/flower scheme exactly. 

Celebration & Novelty Cakes

From Thomas The Tank Engine to a Fender Stratocaster; a big yellow Jet Boat to a big kids 60th golf cake. Everyone loves to have a cake to celebrate that special occasion. Whether it is your loved ones favourite character or you want your company logo and product turned into an edible delight. Let me know your theme or idea and let me put the icing on your celebration!    

Festive Cakes

For something special at that certain time of year (maybe Christmas cakes), which can be gift-wrapped and personalised; individually named and decorated gingerbread men; Easter goodies or a goofy Halloween cake.

Wedding & Party Favours

If you are looking for that something extra special for your wedding or party I have a range of favours that would compliment any special day. Each favour can be personalised with names or any preferred text. Some ideas are handmade roses wrapped in tissue/cellophane with the Bride and Grooms personalised ribbon. Handmade cookies used as name cards on the table, as a napkin wrap or a wine glass tag. These could also be gift-wrapped goodies for guests to take home as a souvenir of the day. (Cookies, macaroons etc

Desserts

If you are having an elegant dinner party but dont have the time to make dessert then let me help you wow your guests with a decadent chocolate mousse, a rich creamy cheesecake or beautifully presented tiramisu in glasses. After 21 years as a Pastry Chef I have a wide range of scrumptious desserts that will make you the favourite host in town. Please ask for more details on any dessert that you would like to delight your guests with.

Our Scrumptious Menu 

There are many Truly Scrumptious cakes you can use for your special occasion be it a tiered Wedding cake, a spectacular Croquembouche or single tier birthday or individual cupcakes.
Croquembouche (Traditional French wedding cake) is a speciality of mine and I have been making them for many years, usually made with caramel and filled with vanilla custard, but other flavours can be used also they can be made with chocolate instead of caramel. 

Chocolate cake has become the new it cake.  It is increasingly popular to use the Wedding cake for dessert these days, served alongside something like fresh berries and cream or ice cream.

Choc mud - a very dense, moist dark choc cake, great to serve with berries/berry compote and ice cream. Made with melted choc and costs more than other cakes for this reason. 

Choc brownie - a lovely moist cake with choc chunks through it, bit lighter/spongier than mud cake but still firm enough to stack for wedding cakes, a good all rounder and probably the most popular one I use, also good with berries ice cream, and the best one for using with other flavour combinations, i.e. choc rasp, choc cherry, choc banana, choc orange, choc toffee. 

Choc sacher - a lighter milk choc sponge cake, using melted milk choc in recipe.

White choc mud cake - A rich creamy cake, spongier than dark mud cake but again made with melted choc, very decadent!!
Red Velvet Cake - A light chocolate sponge with a vibrant red colour, traditionally layered with cream cheese icing

Traditional Fruit Cake – Rich, moist, fruit packed cake, ideally made 3 months in advance to allow for the flavour to mature with a good dollop of Brandy. If necessary it can be made in less time.  Usually covered with almond icing and then rolled white/ivory icing. 

Carrot cake (made with fruits or nuts or both) – very moist. Usually filled with marmalade, cream cheese icing or butter cream 

Madeira Cake – Orange, Lemon or Citrus – similar fillings as above, also lemon curd

Vanilla butter cake – a firm, moist sponge cake which can also be combined with other flavours/fruits, eg vanilla/raspberry cake, vanilla blueberry or any berry really. Vanilla choc, 

Banana cake – made with fresh bananas - very moist! Usually filled with ganache icing and or toffee. 

Passion cake– a sharp zingy butter cake filled with passion fruit pulp buttercream
These are just a few ideas; if you have a favourite flavour or combination we can incorporate that into your cake. Also if you have special requirements, I have various Gluten/ dairy free options, just ask for more info. Something to consider if you have only one or two people who have special requirements, you could always have an individual cake made for them. This would save costs, rather than making the main cake Gluten-free, as these cakes can prove expensive because of the ingredients.

As for icing, you can have any combination of tiers for a wedding cake; you are not able to see the cake under the icing. For example you could have a choc, banana and fruitcake all with white fondant icing. However if traditional Fondant is not your favourite then there are many way to finish the decoration of your cake (as you can see in the gallery) some of these may be chocolate decorations/shapes. White or dark choc Ganache icing, Choc fondant icing, Butter cream, Meringue, Cream cheese or White choc and cream cheese icing.  This is something we can discuss in more detail.
