Of course no two brides are alike, and every contemporary wedding cake can be individually matched to your style, colour scheme and the theme of your wedding.

Pretty Pastels & Lace
Very much a current trend, these designs combine soft pastel and vintage shades, lace and ruffle effects with sugar or fresh flowers.
Hollie Dianne Verity India
Hollie - shown in classic ivory and pink but this would work in any colour scheme – classic lace, piped detail and sugar flowers – perfect! Dianne - shown as a 5 tier cake but this can be adapted to any size. Pretty lace trim and a touch of colour to co-ordinate with any style and theme. Verity - one of our favourites! Another design to incorporate coloured tiers along with contrasting ribbon bands and soft sugar flower corsages. India - currently our best selling design – this works with lots of different colour schemes and in any size – a perfect centrepiece for your reception.

Bernice Lea Katy Music & Ruffles
Bernice - vintage styled weddings tend to incorporate lots of flowers and a spiral cascade with pearls incorporated gives this new design the wow-factor. Lea - although all our cakes can be made in any colour scheme, peach has made a come-back over the last couple of years – making this design a popular choice. Katy - another design incorporating alternate coloured tiers but textured differently. The split in the centre for some fresh flowers make this such an elegant design. Music & Ruffles - something slightly different but still within the same theme – we used edible printed music sheets to incorporate the couple’s first dance song.
Contemporary Vintage Wedding Cakes
Vintage themed weddings are very popular with couples at the moment and we have created many complimentary designs around this theme. Shown here are just a few of them.
Isabel Lissy Imogen Alice
Isabel - this design features the popular bow and brooch decoration. Delicately decorated tiers incorporating some fine piping and lace trim. Flowers could be added to the top tier to complete the look. Lissy - elegant and sophisticated, this new design incorporates an exquisite hand-painted bottom tier teamed with vintage style lace and pearls Imogen - another design with a beautiful ribbon bow and brooch as the focal point, this includes sugar flower corsages and is displayed on a pedestal stand which is also popular with this type of design. Alice - dusky pink and ivory is always a favourite colour combination but this design with the candy striped bottom tier and a classy flat bow can easily be adapted to any colour scheme.
Lucia Constance Lacey Annie
Lucia - designed from a combination of our other designs but also incporporating a blocked section of fresh roses in the centre – this design is very much the current ‘look’ for many brides. Constance - this incorporates so much that is so popular at the moment. Black teamed with muted flowers for a vintage feel plus delicate piped detail to keep things pretty. Lacey - a tall, grand white design incorporating different decorative effects and a simple splash of colour with the ribbon band and bow around the centre. Annie - small but beautifully formed! This design incorporates a sweet little stand in the centre. We love the unusual dusky pink base with ivory lace and piped detail and the pretty flowers.
Bronte Faith Jess Anna
Bronte - the popular vintage style of wedding cake often includes delicate piped detail on the tiers such as the dots on this design. Lace often features as well. Faith - a more unusual square design with vintage piped detail and stylish sugar flower sprays incorporating the little love birds which are currently very popular.

Floral Focus

Flowers are the choice for many brides and these can either be exquisite hand-made sugar flowers or fresh flowers which match the rest of the bridal themes. We are happy to work with your choice of florist to create a cake adorned with fresh flowers or provide them with the cake if required.
Carolina Camilla Rosa Phoebe
Carolina - this is such a popular new design – elegant drapes and sprays of beautiful sugar flowers – pure class! Camilla - a classic contemporary design of a square cake with vertical line piping around the sides, 'blocked' with fresh 'avalanche' roses and finished with a small posy on the top tier. Rosa - incorporating large elegant sugar roses and some flowing petals, this design is fast becoming a best seller.

Kara Unity Gabrielle Wedding Party
Kara - this new cupcake display is a great way to make a statement. Fast becoming our best seller this design matches a traditional stacked cake with cupcakes, personalised bride and groom and large wired topper.
