Stevie & Fletcher 🤍
Congratulations to Stevie & Fletcher, who married last week at the stunning Ellingham Hall.
I first met the couple and their family at a wedding showcase more than a year ago. At the time, Stevie had imagined a semi-naked cake for their day, which is a style I don't offer. But having fallen in love with my designs (and my lemon cake!), they decided to trust me to create something completely bespoke, inspired by their wedding instead.
By the time we reached their final design consultation, Stevie's vision had evolved. She had fallen in love with hand-painted wedding cakes and dreamed of something sleek and elegant, combining delicate painted florals with handcrafted wafer paper flowers, which was quite literally music to my ears!
The final design featured cascading hand-painted flowers, inspired by the couple's own floral arrangements, flowing beautifully across the tiers. Handcrafted wafer paper blooms added dimension, movement and texture, while their soft blue and white colour palette ensured the finished cake felt completely at home within Ellingham Hall's beautiful blue reception space.
But one of my favourite moments came while setting up.
Fletcher's parents had popped down specifically to see the cake, and his dad told me he had a particularly "vested interest" after first sampling my cakes at the showcase where we'd all originally met. He then explained that choosing the flavours from Stevie & Fletcher's sample box had become a family affair.
I absolutely loved hearing that.
Because it was such a lovely reminder that a wedding cake is about so much more than the moment it's cut.
The experience begins months before, tasting flavours together, sharing ideas, watching the design take shape and building excitement for what's to come. It becomes something couples and their families can enjoy together long before the wedding day itself.
And then, finally, there's the moment when you walk into the room and see the cake that was created just for you.
That's why, for me, a bespoke wedding cake will never be just dessert. It's part of the experience, the anticipation and the memories surrounding your day. 🤍
Planning an Ellingham Hall, Newcastle or North East wedding? I'd love to create something that becomes part of your story too.
