Some of you may have noticed we were missing from the market last month — and for a very special reason.

We had the joy of attending a wedding, celebrating a very special couple 🧡And to make it even more meaningful, we were also honoured to create their wedding cake for the day.

It was such a privilege to be part of something so memorable. Swipe to see the cake we created.
