Matt and Steve opted for utterly indulgent flavours for their wedding cake, including coffee, salted caramel, chocolate & Irish cream and lemon, with each tier offering a decadent taste experience with every mouthful. And when it came to their design brief, the couple had their hearts set on a modern, simple and flawless design because of where it was being placed (which was in the centre of the room during the drinks reception).
Following our design consultation, Matt and Steve decided they wanted their wedding cake to match the groomsmaids’ dresses, so we adapted one of my previous blue cake creations and colour-matched the icing to a striking eucalyptus shade.
Then, I adorned their multi-tier wedding cake with bright, bold and intricate sugar flowers that were carefully handcrafted to mirror their fresh floral arrangements by the talented Gill Pike Florist. I worked closely with their wedding florist, even taking the time to learn how to expertly create a clematis flower, which has since become a favourite within my repertoire.
Subtle golden paint splatters added that final yet fabulous finishing touch to Matt and Steve’s wedding cake, framing the sugar flowers while catching the light.
The result was a luxury wedding cake that looked exquisite but also tasted utterly delicious, all while capturing the essence of Matt and Steve’s vision.
