SATURDAY SUMMARY
What's been happening at Louise Cannon Cakes this week?

Wedding fayre Sunday 3 of 5 was at Warbrook House Hotel. I was accidentally colour coordinated with my neighbour for the day , and she has the best backdrop I've seen for a while - fabulous feathers!

As usual the lemon cake disappeared fastest but carrot cake was also popular and I got fabulous feedback from a bride who said that my tiramisu cake was "Everything"!

I visited Bowood House Hotel to talk about joining their preferred supplier list. Keep reading to see what happened.

Jet had a quick diagnostic trip to the garage. Sadly it looks like he needs a new clutch so he's booked in for that in a few weeks.

The cutest birthday cake went out yesterday - a giant pink fondant fancy. I'm normally nervous revealing a cake to a customer in case it's not what they imagined but not this time, and he was speechless (in a good way). The only part I wasn't happy with was that I couldn't make the sides flat and the edges nice and sharp but that would have been wrong.

If you saw my post earlier this week about the lies I tell myself while making cakes, I sadly have to report that I failed again on the second one... but it's SO GOOD! 😋

What else? Oh yes, I'm joining Saracino again at Cake International as a sugar flower workshop tutor on 6 & 8 November. I will be at another stand over the weekend too but can't say more on that just yet.

Back to Bowood House... I'm thrilled to say I was accepted and they've already added me to their website So you can expect to see me at one of their future showcases, and I look forward to delivering for real weddings too.

And now it's time to add the finishing touches to today's wedding cake and prep for tomorrow's wedding show at Llanthony Secunda Priory. Is there time for a coffee first? Of course! ☕️

It started with a simple question from Chantelle and Justin. Did anyone know who could make a bride and wizard cake topper?

I did. Then I proposed making the rest of their dream wedding cake to go with it.

A postal taster box, an online consultation and a few design options later, they chose the very first one.

Handmade pink sugar roses which matched the table decorations.

Hand-painted panels to reflect the chinoiserie in the room and their invitation design.

A bride, her wizard and their two cats on top.

Their early feedback was that they had seen the sketch and were still amazed by the finished cake.

That is the job.

DM me your date and I'll check availability for your 2027 wedding.

I'm excited to share that Saracino has invited me to demo sugar flowers again on their stand at Cake International at the NEC 6-8 November.

I'll be one of their Make it - Take it workshop tutors, showing visitors how to create a simple yet very pretty carnation using their Pasta Bouquet flower paste.

Come find me on Friday morning or Sunday afternoon if you'd like to have a go yourself.

Lies I still tell myself, 11 years into making sugar flowers wedding cakes in Swindon.

🌺 This sugar flower won't take long.

🥄 I won't eat all the leftover ganache this time.

🌹 I'll only need to make another 20 sugar gypsophila flowers.

🎂 I've got loads of fondant, no need to order more

😴 I'll be really organised this week, no late nights needed

Somehow the cakes still turn up on time and looking exactly right, which I think says more about panic than organisation.

Tell me - which one made you chuckle?

I don't want to be an influencer.

I’m just a wedding cake maker trying to influence you to book your 2027 wedding cake in now so you can tick one thing off the list before the clocks go back.

Because every year I get a rush of enquiries in January from couples who wanted to "get Christmas out of the way first" and I'll feel really bad if you're doing that and I have to tell you your date's already taken.

Save this and look at it again in three weeks when you've still not sorted it 🤭

SATURDAY SUMMARY
What's been happening at Louise Cannon Cakes this week?

Sunday's wedding fayre at Holiday Inn Reading-South was amazing! Emma, David and the team made us all feel very welcome. Lots of lovely couples stopped by, and my new tiramisu cake proved very popular. I look forward to being back there soon.

So that's two fayres down, and three to go before I can have a Sunday lie-in...

Tomorrow it's the stunning Warbrook House. Having been there in December for a photoshoot, I'm looking forward to seeing the venue surrounded by autumnal colours. I've made spiced carrot cake tasters to match, plus my usual classics of course.

Zippy had a couple of garage trips for suspension work and then new tyres so he's fit for his next adventures.

Willow and Spike are now in a mood with me after their annual jabs and vet check-up.

Randomly a merch company decided I was worth targetting for customised promotional items so I now have a Louise Cannon Cakes pen!

And another dog walk brought another haul of sloes. This batch went straight into gin after a quick stop in the freezer. After a week of slow progress on the syrup batch, I've given up and bottled that with the gin too. So now we wait.

And on the list for today? It's time to slice up the cakes for tomorrow and try not to eat too many of the offcuts... although they would go very well with another coffee ☕️

Planning your wedding? Come and find me at Warbrook House tomorrow and try the spiced carrot cake for yourself.

Winter and 2027 couples in Swindon and Wiltshire, this one's for you.

I know it's only just October. Bear with me.

I'm not asking you to book anything today. But if you're planning a winter wedding, or already looking ahead to 2027, now is a good time to start talking about the cake.

A designed cake takes a little time. There's your tasterbox, then your consultation, then design options drawn up just for you.

Plus it's only me here so I limit orders to just two per week so I can give each cake proper attention.

November and December each have 2 weekends available before I close the 2026 order book.

DM me your date and I'll check availability.

And if you're near Hook come meet me at Warbrook House this Sunday, 4 October

Same questions, every single week. So here they all are in one place:

❓️How far in advance do I need to book?
💡Ideally at least 6 months but if your wedding's sooner still ask - I might be available.

❓️How much does a wedding cake actually cost?
💡It depends on a few things, but if you budget for £250 per tier plus delivery for a basic design, or £350 per tier plus delivery if you want sugar flowers you'll be close.

❓️Can you do gluten or other allergen-free?
💡No. I can use without-gluten, without-nuts etc ingredients but I can't guarantee it will be allergen-free.

❓️Do I need to know exactly what I want before I message you?
💡No. It helps if you have some inspo pictures but it's not essential - we'll work it out together.

❓️Do you deliver?
💡Yes! I deliver across Swindon, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire, the Cotswolds - pretty much anywhere in the south west and I’m happy to travel further.

📩 Message me with yours if you’re wondering about something I didn’t answer. There's no stupid question, I promise, you’re not living and breathing cakes like I am!
