It's been a hectic week with more wedding consultations booked for dates in 2012 and 2013!
 Alongside that I have been fortunate enough to take a class with the fabulous Kaysie Lackey of The People's Cake, Seattle. She has travelled over to the UK to do a number of different courses from designs she has created, and is now becoming renown for.
Held at Exotic Fantastic Cakes in Chigwell, Kaysie taught a class of twelve students in the gravity defying cake that is her 'boyfriend' Higgins the butler. |

This weekend I have mostly been doing wedding cake consultations.
It's always great to design something that will be so very special to couples on their big day. Each consultation lasts approximately 45 minutes, and gives you a chance to try some our cakes, talk about your wedding and design something that is completely bespoke for you.
When coming along for a consultation it's extremely important to have information relating to your venue, flowers, colour scheme and even your wedding dress. All of these things can then be incorporated into your design making all the details 'marry' together. |

Blimey, don't blog for months then two blogs on the same day!!! Here's my new year's resolution... to blog more and update the website at least twice a month!!! (Hopefully I can keep to that!!)
Here are the pics of my new year's day baking exploits...
Super chocolatey chocolate cake with caramel buttercream.
I know the presentation isn't much, but it is just for me!!
And there are triple chocolate brownies... the choc chips didn't exactly work, they sank :(
So all there is left to say is....
Happy New Year! |

Today has been a day of good & bad things... Bad, I suppose has two sides again! With the huge news about Bin Laden our story about the Royal Wedding Day has had to be postponed. Keep watching Daybreak on ITV1 this week as I'm sure our fabulous 5 tier wedding cake will be shown. Good, was the lovely wedding fair at the Earl of Doncaster, Bennetthorpe, Doncaster. I met a number of lovely brides and families with their ideas for their wedding cakes. After many chats and lots of idea swapping I've arranged a number of consultations and cake tastings for the next few weeks, here's to more weddings coming soon. |

One of the things which is beginning to become a popular addition to weddings and celebrations is the dessert table. Now not to be confused with candy or sweets tables, dessert tables are filled with delicious goodies like cupcakes, cake pops, cheesecake pots, jelly or any other dessert treat you want! Being more popular in America, these tables are often highly decorated with paper pom-poms, bunting and gorgeous floral arrangements. Check out some ofthemost well known designers, such as Amy Atlas of |

 This weekend saw our first cupcake decorating class at Cakes by Occasion. Tkae a look at some of the girls who came along for a morning of fun!! They got to try their hand at making a variety of sugar flowers, butterflies and cupcake decorations before piping swirls of buttercream onto ready-made cupcakes. The best bit is that they got to take them home to show-off to friends and family what a fabulous job they'd done.  Check out more of our classes here... We are expanding the classes and adding new dates shortly! |
