Buttercream Wedding Cakes

I created this delightful buttercream rustic wedding cake for a consultation and I thought I would share it with you as its just so pretty.  I love this style of simple loveliness,  I mean how can you go wrong with a combination of buttercream, pearls, raffia... raffia on a cake... brilliant! and lavender.  Sorry, I am really not singing my own praises, this was one of my brides ideas!

I think buttercream style wedding cakes are going to be quite popular this year and I hope they are as I just want to make them and look at them.



I hope you enjoy a little peek at this cake and please do leave me a comment if you fancy.

Laura and Michael are such a lovely couple, they came to me for their wedding cakes and revealed the news that they were expecting their first baby too! Little Toby was born only a couple of months ago and goodness me he is cute. Laura and Michael had a lot on their plate as they had to organise their wedding too, but let me just say what an amazing job they did, it all looked beautiful.

They were married at the gorgeous Beechenhill Farm in Ilam, which is one of my favourite places, so tranquil and beautiful. They decided to go for 50 vintage style cupcakes with chocolate and vanilla flavours. They also went for my rustic vintage buttercream wedding cake, with lemon and chocolate flavours. It all looked stunning on their cute little cake table. Lovely couple, beautiful wedding. I wish you a long and happy life together Laura and Michael! Vintage and Cake x

Beautiful Rustic Vintage Wedding cake

Well here it is... my own wedding cake! This is what I created for my amazing day. It was 4 tiers of delicious vanilla sponge with a buttercream finish using palette knife techniques topped with hand made sugar roses. I loved the look of it as its so rustic and simple.

I placed lots of my pretty vintage tea plates all around it so people could help themselves to lots of cake. I also had a dessert table with many, many lovely cakes and puddings that I made but also some from my mum, mum in law and best friend, all were so delicious and a piece of art in itself. A wedding dessert table is a great idea for a wedding as you can get your friends and family involved too.





My guests loved delving into such a wide selection including tirimasu, triple chocolate brownies, rich chocolate cake, fruit cake, pavlova, Victoria sponge, coffee and walnut and lemon drizzle... amazing!







I loved my wedding day and was true to what myself and my husband love and that reflected in the cakes we went for too. To all my brides and grooms out there your engagement is such a precious time, take some time to have a good think about what you would like on your day, things that you love and both want and go for it!
