The saddest part of creating wedding cakes, or any cake come to think of it.

Please tell me I'm not the only one??

Watch me create a beautiful marble effect on a cake!

Creating a marble effect with fondant is much easier than you might think!

Here I'm using Saracino Pasta Cover with their gorgeous Bronze Pearl Colour to create this beautiful finish.

And of course, I'm using my Sharp Edge Smoother® to get rid of those little lumps and bumps, even the scratch marks!

Don't panic if you spot a few marks while you're working.

Keep smoothing and you'll see them disappear, leaving you with a super sharp edge and a lovely, flawless finish.

Three great products working together to get fantastic results!

PLUS! ….. There’s £5 off the smoother till midnight Monday

Grab it whilst you can! Details in comments

Eguvwe & Michael -

Married last week at the beautiful Bull Hotel in Peterborough, Eguvwe & Michael chose one of my original designs, featuring a stunning blue stone marble effect, finished off with fresh flowers.

Inside, they had a delicious selection of flavours:
Lemon & White Chocolate, Cherry Bakewell, Passion Fruit & Mango

The cake was covered with my favourite Saracino Pasta Cover to achieve that beautiful, textured effect.

The fresh flowers were supplied by , and I had the pleasure of arranging them on the cake myself.

And before the negative Nellies start moaning about the gypsophila (gyp) there was a barrier between these and the cake!

A huge congratulations to you both, Eguvwe & Michael. I hope you had the most amazing day and wish you both lots of love and happiness for the future.

Can't find an extra-long cake board? Then watch this!

Those trendy long cakes are everywhere at the moment, but finding extra-long cake boards can be a bit of a nightmare!

But... there's a simple workaround!
If you've got a handy husband or partner, you can make one yourself.

Or pop along to your local hardware store, where they can cut a piece of MDF board to the size you need.

I've used some vinyl covering from Amazon, anl've used some vinyl covering from Amazon, and it literally takes minutes to do!

One important thing to remember: Your cake needs to be placed on individual cake boards first before sitting on your long MDF board.

This keeps everything food-safe and makes handling your cake much easier.

Sometimes it's about working smarter, not harder!

Have you tried making your own extra-long cake board?

First cake after our holiday

Yep I was straight back into the studio working on Fridays wedding cake and luckily for me it was an easy one.

I wanted to show you with the timer that it really doesn't take that long to achieve that sharp edge and flawless finish.

The video was 9 mins long and that was with me faffing about, as in walking round the table to turn it on and off etc

I screen shot the time so you could also see that it took me almost 4 minutes to roll out the paste and cover the cake (using Pasta Cover)

Around 5 mins later I have a perfect sharp edge and a flawless finish!.

Work smarter not harder! This smoother saves you time and effort and you'll be amazed at how quickly you'll achieve a flawless finish

Well, I certainly wasn't expecting this email when I got home from holiday!

I'm absolutely thrilled to share that I've made it through to the East of England Regional Finals of The Wedding Industry Awards 2027! S7. 1
After nearly 20 years of making wedding cakes, it still means so much to me to have what I do recognised in this way.

I feel incredibly lucky to have been trusted by so many couples over the years to create such an important part of their wedding day. Every couple, every wedding and every cake has its own story, and I genuinely love what I do.

So to be recognised alongside so many amazing businesses in the wedding industry is such an honour — and I honestly couldn't have done it without all the lovely support we've received.

A HUGE thank you to everyone who took the time to vote, share your feedback with the judges, support me and recommend Cakes by Carol. It really does mean so much!

Big thank you to and looking forward to celebrating with everyone in November
