For the first time a blend of two colours has been chosen as Pantone's colour of the year. Rose Quartz and Serenity have been chosen as the PANTONE Colour of the Year. Pantone explains ' Rose Quartz is a persuasive yet gentle tone that conveys compassion and a sense of composure. Serenity is weightless and airy, like the expanse of the blue sky above us, bringing feelings of respite and even in turbulent times.'  I'm looking forward to combining serenity and rose quartz in some of my new wedding cake designs. The colours are perfect for weddings!

                                    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. Design sketch and notes Here is the completed design, beautifully photographed by Melissa Beattie photography.
