There couldn't have been a better venue than The Woodlands at Hothorpe which was just the perfect setting for this wildflower theme.

Rather than a Tiered Cake the Bride and Groom opted for three Standalone Cakes presented on a Bespoke Log Cake Stand.
Top Cake - Vanilla & Strawberry
Middle Cake - Lemon & Vanilla
Bottom Cake - Almond & Raspberry
All cakes were finished with Swiss Meringue Buttercream and decorated with Edible Pressed Wildflowers supplied by Nurtured In Norfolk
Each flower, leaf and petal was carefully placed onto every cake with painstaking precision. The pressed flowers are so paper thin that there was no second chance of moving them once they were applied. There was a whole lot of breath holding going on with this one!
The hard work was worth it, however, as the end result was stunning.

Three very different milestones to celebrate this week.
Birthday Cake - 2 Years Old.
A Ruby Wedding (40 years)
And a Golden Wedding (50 years)

Ruby Wedding - "The cake was divine"
Golden Wedding "I wanted to thank you for the amazing cake. It's been the perfect centre piece for our celebrations"
Birthday Cake - "Thank you Linda for the cake, Teghvir love, love loved the bus!"

Three very different customers, three very different orders but they all loved their cakes so I am one happy baker. 🙂🙏

'Good Cake isn't Cheap and Cheap Cake isn't good'

Baked at Halcyon cake is not cheap cake, but I can say with confidence that it is good cake.
I have said it before, but this is something about which I am truly passionate - Quality Ingredients.
No baking spread here, only real block butter. No essences or flavourings, just real extracts and good quality chocolate, you honestly can 'taste the difference'
Sainsbury's have built an entire brand on the back of this, and there's good reason for that, it's true!

The ingredients in this image cost £88.84, and that's before we start on cake boards, boxes, ribbon, cleaning materials, electricity, labour, insurance, hygiene and allergen training costs etc.

So, I make no apologies for the cost of my cakes, because we're all seeing the eyewatering figure when we buy 'a few bits' at the shop.
However, I will beam with pride when a customer says that "this is probably the best cake I've ever eaten" then I know that I'm continuing to make the right choices about my business.

Lastly, a huge thank you to all my lovely customers who understand and appreciate this and still continue to support my small business 🙏

Time to breath!
This was my last wedding cake for July.
Delivered safely to The George Great Oxendon last Saturday.
Bottom tier Vanilla Sponge with Strawberry Conserve and Top Tier Lemon Sponge with Lemon Curd filling. Covered with Textured Swiss Meringue Buttercream.
The Hand-crafted Sugarpaste Roses gave a simple but elegant finish.

When I was contacted and asked if I could make a Harpy Eagle cake as a centre piece for an 80th Birthday, I said Yes and then proceeded to find out what on Earth is a Harpy Eagle and how would I make it?!
Perhaps this approach is crazy and risky, but it hasn't failed me yet. Perhaps a throwback to my corporate days, but I love a challenge and produce my best work when under pressure.
I'm so proud of this Harpy Eagle cake, but it wasn't all plain sailing, he looked distinctly like a penguin at one point 😆

Not every cake has to be a showstopper.
Sometimes a simple two layer sponge can be a very welcome order.
Just look at that perfect cut, a gentle reminder to make sure to use a good, sharp knife when cutting your celebration cakes.

This cake nearly broke me!
Baked and assembled in temperatures circa 30C, stacked and setup for a wedding on Saturday 11th July. (I offered up countless prayers to the baking Gods that it would hold)
I lost count of how many times I did the Baker's Fridge Hokey Cokey (you put the next cake in, take the first cake out...in...out...in...out etc.)
And then, it had to be delivered to the venue 9 miles away (that was a VERY careful drive 😆)
Recently I talked about what it means to be an artisan baker, and this cake sums it up perfectly.
I literally had two sleepless nights worrying over the weather and how I could make sure that the cake would be stable and beautiful for this couple on their big day.
I genuinely care about my cakes being perfect for my customers.
To say I was relieved that everything went well is an understatement.
Also, a big thanks to team at The Pavilion in Lutterworth who were an absolute pleasure to work with and super helpful.
Next wedding in two weeks' time ... Please, Baking Gods...please! 🙏

I can't pretend it's easy baking in this weather.
However, when I get a message from my customer saying that the birthday girl was in tears over the cake, which had pictures of her horses and dog on the top, then it's all worthwhile.
6 years at this baking lark now and it still means so much when I get this kind of feedback.

This Woodland Fairy themed cake is a real showstopper . But it's the taste of the cake underneath that remains the most important thing.

This cake may have the Wow factor but it's just as satisfying when a customer says "that's the best Battenburg cake I've ever had"
Whether an order is for a 3-tier wedding cake or a Lemon Drizzle they all get the same love, care and attention. That's what artisan baking is all about.

Wedding baking continues and I have to confess that making the cake (or cakes!) for someone's special day is a privilege .
This couple opted for a traditional fruit cake and a cutting cake.
Simple and elegant.
What a lovely couple they make and such a super photo of their big day.
