Aubergine Vintage Wedding Cupcakes

I delivered 120 wedding cupcakes with a rich fruit cake top tier this Saturday to Alrewas Hayes in Staffordshire. The venue was lovely!

The cupcakes were a mix of vintage designs in both buttercream and flat sugarpaste icing. The top tier was a rich fruit cake soaked in brandy, iced in ivory with an aubergine flower corsage.




Congratulations Lisa and Anthony, I hope you had a wonderful wedding day!

A sneaky peek at some white wedding cupcakes

These little beauties were made for a consultation, their theme as you might have guessed is predominately white! They have gone for a mix of beautiful vintage cupcake designs including cameos, buttons, roses and a little hint of green in some delicate leaves. I cant wait to design these cupcakes and deliver them to the amazing Chatsworth House!

Flowers and prettiness

Hello! I have had a very busy week with cupcakes! 500 mini corporate cupcakes on Thursday. 100 blue cupcakes and a giant cupcake for a lovely wedding on Saturday. 135 cupcakes for 15 ladies to decorate at my workshop on Saturday and finally 80 cupcakes for an 80th Birthday for Sunday, phew that is a lot of cupcakes!

Here are the 80th Birthday cupcakes, I will share the wedding cupcakes with you when I have the photographs from the bride.

Vintage rose and pearl cupcakes

I designed these for a wedding consultation that I have tomorrow. The cupcakes are a mixture of lemon drizzle, vanilla and chocolate, my bride and groom to be will also be treated to some lovely fruit cake too!

The large rose is made with layers of thinly rolled out florist paste using rose cutters and shaped using a bone tool (brilliant tool!) it is then assembled and the petals eased out as necessary.



The little party pick that you see with 'love is sweet' is from the fantastic Joanne over at Vintage Twee. You will be hearing more from her work in my next Valentine's blog!



Well tomorrow I shall be up bright and early and the table will be set with tea and cake galore!!

A black and white wedding

Hello, not blogged for a while, I am saving up for an amazing vintage wedding blog that I will have for you in the next few weeks but in the meantime to assure you all that I haven't disappeared, here are my latest wedding cupcakes.

These were for a lovely couple; Alec and Victoria, they had a fairy tale, black and white wedding with candelabras entwined with ivy for their table centre pieces and gorgeous black name place cards tied to the backs of the chairs.. very stunning and the most eye catching wedding I have seen to date. The venue was the stunning Hassop Hall, very romantic but not good for those who suffer with car sickness, very windy roads indeed!




I am very much looking forward to seeing some of their pictures from the day, as I am sure they both looked gorgeous!

We love cupcakes

It has dawned on me that I am making an awful lot of cupcakes recently, so I thought I would share some of my latest creations with you. people love cupcakes at the moment and they are very popular for weddings. The majority of wedding orders I have had over the last few months have been for cupcake towers and a top tier. I absolutely love making cupcakes and decorating them, they look so sweet and taste amazing. They do work out cheaper than a traditional tiered wedding cake depending on how many you have of course.


Here are some of my creations for you to enjoy
