Wedding Cakes & Sugar Flowers-The fashion inspiration issue

Wedding Cakes & Sugar Flowers- The fashion inspiration issue

As a regular contributor to Cake Craft Guides- Wedding Cakes & Sugar Flowers Magazine and Party Cakes Magazine, I was very excited to hear the theme for issue 24. The issue is all about fashion inspired cakes! I was given the task of designing a cake inspired by a Zuhair Murad gown. After looking through some wedding gowns, I quickly found a gown that I loved! Zuhair Murad's 'Tiana' gown with its sequins and floral embellishments became my design inspiration.

Here is a look at my initial design and notes for the wedding cake design.

Here is the completed design, beautifully photographed by Melissa Beattie photography. The design features sequins, chocolate jewels and embellished flowers.

The new issue which is available at to purchase here features my step-by-step tutorial for how to make this cake, including instructions for how to create your own jewel mould!

Here is a sneak peek at the inside of the magazine.

This was a really fun project to work on and I'm looking forward to sharing my next project for Party Cakes Magazine, which will be out later this year!

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

Wedding Cupcakes These cupcakes were for a wedding taking place at the Langdale Chase Hotel in the Lake District. Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream in ivory and pink. 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.
