Teacups, sugar flowers and pearls!

Birthday cake with piped pearls topped with a sugar teacup and saucer filled with sugar flowers.


This cake was made to celebrate my Grans birthday. She loves to keep the sugar flowers that I make for her so I decided to make her a sugar teacup and saucer filled with flowers that she could add to her collection! The cake was a Lemon sponge with zesty lemon syrup, layered with lemon buttercream and lemon curd.

A wedding cake with lace edged in gold, billowing satin, pearls and sugar flowers created for Samantha and Gregory's wedding at Storrs Hall Hotel. 


A three tier wedding cake with lace detail, pink peonies and silver brunia berries. Created for Karla's wedding at Merewood Country House Hotel. Each guest was also treated to a white chocolate cake pop with pink and silver peony decorations. The cake pops also doubled as place settings!
Karla tweeted me some lovely feedback on the cake and a lovely photo of the new bride and groom getting ready to enjoy a slice of their cake.

  "thank you so much Charlotte, the cake was beautiful and tasted divine! "
Congratulations to the happy couple!

    You are seriously the best cake maker/decorator ever :-) I honestly thought the cup/saucer were "real"! Well done yet again!
