Lilac Time

Lilacs are a beautiful flower with an incredible scent and one that is very rarely used on cakes.  When the client came and asked if we did lilacs on cakes I was overjoyed.  They had apparently visited several other places who had said they didn't do lilacs as they were too difficult.
Hmm, not really difficult to make the flowers, maybe difficult to make look realistic.  Anyway, here is our version.
First I hand painted the background with large and small bright green leaves, then applied 100's of blossoms in five different shades of lilac.

Apricot and Purple

This romantic cake inspired by soft colours and hand painted leaves and vines shows two popular 2011 wedding colours used together.  The purple showing off the rich apricot tones and using a sage green for the leaves.  We used a soft ivory fondant base for this.

We're also showing off our most popular sizes.  12" at the bottom and 4" at the very top.  We can use a combination of all of these to create your perfect sized cake to fit the size of your guest list.  Just ask us how!

We are currently taking appointments for 2011 and 2012 however, if you are having a 2012 wedding please note that whilst you are welcome to come in and see us we can only have a consultation if you have all your design elements previously chosen and ready to show us.
