8th September, 2010 Pretty Pink Cupcake Tower

www.ferriscakes.co.uk

This cup cake tower was for a wedding at The Reid Rooms in Margaret Roding. The bride liked all my cupcake styles and couldn't decide which to have so she opted for three different ones: buttercream swirls with dragees (sugar balls), buttercream swirls with handmade sugar roses, and sugarpaste topped with a handmade sugar rose and piped leaves.

The top was a shop bought fruit cake that I decorated to match the cup cakes. The bride provided this and the topper which was a groom with a ball and chain!

See below for a close up of the cup cakes.

Here was a huge chocolate cake for a celebration for a very lucky little girl. A 12" square cake with white chocolate curls round the sides, white chocolate fans and teddy bears on the top, and all finished with hand made pink sugar roses. 'Suzylou' was piped in pink icing on a white chocolate plaque.

6th September, 2010 Unusual White Wedding Cake

This very unusual and elegant white shimmery cake was made for a wedding at Stock Brook Manor at the end of July. It had white phalaenopsis orchids on the top, provided by the florist.

This is what the bride, Mandy, wrote to me:

"Hi Melanie

The cake was fantastic; it looked perfect and tasted delicious. Thank you so much for your hard work. A friend of mine is getting married in January; I have given her your contact details (Lucy).

I have attached a photo of the cake in case you wanted a copy for your file.

Thank you again.

Mandy"
