Peggy Porschen Boutique Baking (Book Review)

Boutique Baking is made up of 7 chapters: Sweet Treats, Beautiful Biscuits, Cupcake Heaven, Luscious Layer Cakes, Classic Cakes & Bakes, Delicious Drinks, and The Icing on The Cake.

Some of the stand out cake recipes in the book are the 'Glorious Victoria Cake' with pretty pink victorial-style scroll and shell piping and the 'Lemon Limoncello Cake' topped with cute sugar daisies.

All the recipes in the book are inspired by the sweet treats served at the Peggy Porschen Parlour. As well as recipes, the book provides detailed photo guides on how to decorate each of the cakes.

The recipes I am looking forward to trying out are the Triple Berry Cheescakes (see left) which have layers of strawberry, raspberry and bluberry cheescake creating a cute ombre effect and the blossom biscuits topped with pretty chrysanthemum blossoms (see right).

Nude pink wedding cake

A nude pink wedding cake featuring cake lace, petal ruffles and sugar flowers. I made the sugar flowers to tie in with the brides bouquet with quicksand roses, blush lisianthus and greenery including eucalyptus. Here is the cake all set up at The Grange Hotel, Grange over sands. I received such a lovely email from the happy couple with some very kind words!

Wedding Cupcakes and Giant Cupcake

The design for the cupcakes was 'silver and pearls' topped with fondant butterflies. The giant cupcake has a white chocolate finger base.

Amnesia Cascade Wedding Cake

Here is a wedding cake we created last year for a beautiful vintage themed wedding at Storrs Hall. A beautiful 5-tier wedding cake with lace trim and cascading amnesia sugar roses and gypsophila, delivered and set up at Storrs Hall, Winderemere and finished with fresh flowers around the bottom of the cake by Brakens of Bowness. The flavours included rich fruit cake, chocolate orange truffle, white chocolate and passionfruit, chocolate and vanilla. It looked lovely set up in the rotunda at Storrs Hall. Here are the sugar roses in progress, before being dusted to create the beautiful vintage edges that make amnesia roses so popular for vintage themed weddings. And then after dusting along with the gypsophilla sugar flowers. You can find a tutorial for our sugar roses in our online shop.
