Wedding Cakes in London


The Little Cakery exhibited at the Northwood Golf Club 'In Wedding Fayre' on Sunday (28th March 2010).

We met some gorgeous brides, and some VERY organised brides (already planning for their 2012 weddings?!). We came across some wonderful ideas for weddings...

- Annie from Northwood is having a church wedding followed on by a Bar-B-Q reception - what a great idea! And she's looking for some gorgeous cupcakes for her chic/casual event.

- Charlotte and the Chocolate Fountain have got some fab offers on their chocolate fountains, with their lovely glow tables! They even offer kiddie size tables so the little ones cango and make their own mess!! The chocolate was deeelicious - ofcourse it was Belgian chocolate.  

-  Another bride was looking for a way to combine chocolate with lavender/purple.... so we suggested using white chocolate scrolls with a sparkle of purple lustre dust at the bottom of each scroll.... would love to see that idea come to life!!

Anyway, here are some snaps from the lovely day.... 



This was our display on the day. We wanted to demonstrate that The Little Cakery offer both the traditional tiered cakes, as well the vintage/chic cupcakes. The media bombards us with images and trends of wedding cupcakes, but it was surprising to see how many brides are still opting for the traditional three tiered wedding cake. 



This polka dot wedding cake is a great way of achieving a retro design, which is 'something different' for your wedding, but not 'too different'. The red ribbon gives it a gorgeous 'edge' whilst the white polka dots give a subtle retro feel.


It's always nice to add bespoke elements to your wedding day. This musical note on a cupcake would be great for music fans and those that play instruments! 

 

These gorgeous things around the cupcakes are called cupcake wrappers. They're a great way of adding a touch of 'wow' to your cupcake display! A variety of colours and stles are available, please enquire with The Little Cakery. 



Now this little bucket full of jelly beans was added as a decorative touch to our display. However, they down down a storm with many brides enquiring about prices for these little goodies. So, The Little Cakery will put together some quotes so that they can be used as display on your cake table, dessert table or for any other event - great for childrens parties when you're looking for something different. 



This has now become somewhat of a classic design in its own time! The chocolate cigarello cake is a gorgeous cake, especially for those brides looking for a chocolate wedding cake. The ribbon could be any colour, and white chocolate scrolls could be used too. 


Cupcake towers look as chic as ever, and really take the hassle out of cutting cake! 



 I had to show this picture! This is just a little glimpse of the great variety of cupcake cases that The Littl eCakery can offer. The are a great way of adding some colour to your cupcakes without the additional cost of handmade details.

Gucci Bag Cake

Well fashion certainly seems to be the theme of the week!

Here's my first ever Gucci bag (cake and otherwise!). It was ordered by a lovely lady from South Bermondsey, and I think it was for her daughters 21st birthday bash!

At the Little Cakery we certanly had fun making it, and I hope they had fun eating it! Happy 21st to Mary. We even had it delivered via our ecofriendly courier, Green Planet Logistics. Really takes the hassle out of things on important days like birthdays!




Remember, there novelty items can also be ordered as Vegan, and Gluten Free cakes, as well as eggless ofcourse.

Alice in Cupcakeland.... sorry, I meant Wonderland!

So... it seems that i'm not very good at keeping my blog updated... my bad! 

We've had so much going on, and there's so much to share with you.... BUT I'll start with the magic that be Alice in Wonderland. A few weeks we were kindly asked by Emel magazine to create some Alice in Wonderland themed cupcakes... and boy did we create!

Here are some snaps of the gorgeous cakes, now a new addition to our couture collection. These are all hand made, with a lot of love and devotion. They are probably the most time consuming creations we've designed to date!! But we like to think that they are an reflection of the attention to detail that we so enjoy putting into all of our cakes.

Anyway...feast your eyes and enjoy!
