September issue of Wedding Ideas magazine where we featured as their Editors choice!

This is a copy of the advert as it went to print…….did you see it??

We recently made a wedding cake for two great people, Charlotte Horne and Mark Jones. The cake needed to have a musical theme to it as Charlotte is an ex Radio One DJ and Mark is the owner of a record company - Wall of Sound. The couple decided to have a three tier cake with each tier looking like a stack of records. Awesome!

Although both London based, the couple tied the knot in Portmeirion, North Wales.

This is what Charlotte and Mark had to say about it - ”

Hi! I just wanted to say a big thank you for making such a fabulous cake
for us.  It was perfect and got a lot of attention! It was incredibly delicious
as well as looking totally unique so thanks again. Lots of love, Charlotte & co. x "

Congratulations guys. Keep on groovin’!

How about having your cake designed to look like your invitations!

Here is one of Jules’ latest creations which does just that. We took the customers wedding invitation and created a fab cake to look just like them.

Victoria (the bride) called us today to say a huge thankyou and to say how much she loved the cake and how everybody commented on how fabulous it looked and tasted!

We just love it when people come up with something new and different. Why not get creative for your next event!!

Here are a few ideas which might help -

Kids - Ben 10, Peppa Pig, High School Musical, Finding Nemo, Dora The Explorer and of course Harry Potter!

Adults - Casino Theme, James Bond, Football/Sport, Makeup, Fashion and Beauty, Hollywood Theme.

Caitlin, a huge fan of George Sampson, recently celebrated her 11th birthday in style.

Caitlins mum, Sally (a regular customer of CAKE), had organised for Caitlin and a friend to go to Alton Towers and attend a dance class held by George Sampson. If this was not exciting enough for Caitlin there was also the opportunity to meet George and get his autograph.

Sally wanted to get a birthday cake for Caitlin and after some discussion with us it was decided to make a cake with a model of George on the top and the girls watching from the side which could be taken down to Alton Towers for George to sign with a food pen!

When the time came, Sally (carrying a large cake box) and Caitlin stood in the long queue of people waiting to meet George. One of Georges assistants spotted Sally, asked why she was carrying a large box, and after Sally explained the assistant took the box for her into a private area at the back. A few minutes later Sally’s party was again approached by the assistant and they were asked to leave the queue and follow him where they were taken into a room where George Sampson greeted them and then spent the next 15 minutes chatting.

George was amazed by the cake! He said he initially thought it would just be a photo of him printed in icing and stuck to the top and he never imagined it would be a model of him dancing!! He gladly signed it and asked Sally to pass a message onto the staff at CAKE that this was the best birthday cake he had ever seen.

The following day Georges mum spoke to Sally and told her that George loved the cake so much that he had kept the model of him dancing from the top and was taking it home as a momento.

One of our best customers Jenny, recently took a cake up to Nottingham to help celebrate the birthday of friend and Nottingham Forest player Chris Cohen pictured here with his girlfriend.

Chris’ celebration also included Nottingham Forest Captain, James Perch, pictured below with the rest of the party.

How about doing something different for your Wedding cake!

These customers decided to incorporate their love of skiing into their cake. The cabin was made from Chocolate Mud cake and covered in Chocolate logs - awsome!

A customer, whose wife was just nuts about the Rolling Stones, ordered a cake for her 50th birthday. Of course it had to be Rolling Stone themed so we ended up doing a ‘Spitting Image’ style head of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards on top of a large cake with a further 50 ‘Stones’ themed cupcakes underneath it.  I’m sure it gave her enough ‘CAKE’ satisfaction !

Topsy turvy’s are the latest trend in cakes.

People love these whimsical cakes because of the colourful and outrageous styling, creating the illusion of the tiers sliding off.

This is one of our favourites - let us know what you think!

Cupcakes are all the rage at the moment and we make them in abundance!

You can design your own or we can surprise you with a creative design.

You don’t need a special reason to buy cupcakes - just buy them because they are yummy!

But if you are celebrating, here are just a few occasions reminders…

Mothers day is coming soon (22nd March) - so if you want to buy Mum something other than the usual chocs and flowers how about  ordering cupcakes with a special message on and a unique design just for her!

Easter is on the 11th April-  thats always a good reason to buy cupcakes. Choose designs that have little eggs on them or rabbits or happy daisies! The flavours are awesome - try our lemon Madeira, chocolate mud cake or chocolate orange mud cake.

We’ll keep you posted with the next dates to remember soon……
