13 December 2025

The couple sent me a reference cake covered in delicate flowers, and I instantly fell in love with the design. 🤍

What I didn’t know at the time was that the reception would feature these incredible oversized floral installations hanging from the ceiling (check the next picture).

When I arrived at the venue, it felt like the cake and the décor were made for each other. A completely unplanned detail, but one that tied everything together beautifully.

Sometimes the best design moments happen by accident. ✨

How much I love this image!!!!! You have no idea!!!! 😍

The emotions, the excitement, the happiness this image reflects are immeasurable!!!!!

Pictures like this absolutely make my whole career worth it!!!

All your doubts and insecurities disappear when you receive messages and photos from the couple long after the wedding is done. Suddenly you remember why you put so much of yourself into every single cake.

Seeing Brandon & Ewan-Nize enjoying their wedding cake with so much excitement and joy is priceless. ❤️

Moments like these remind me that I am not just making cakes. I am creating a small part of memories that will last a lifetime.

Will share the inside story behind this cake in the next post… 😉

This beautiful wedding took place at the stunning BOSJES Farm, with the talented team from trunkevents bringing everything together so beautifully 🤍

On another note, we are only halfway through June and my diary is looking pretty full for the rest of 2026. If you are considering me as your cake supplier for your wedding or special event, please don’t leave it too late. Once my available spots are filled, that’s it for the season 🙈🤍

Clean, modern and all white 🤍

This cake was all about texture and movement. The embossed pattern was created using one of the legendary Angela Morrison Angela Morrison embossing mats, adding a beautiful subtle detail to the tiers, while the handmade wafer paper design created a bold statement without taking away from the elegance of the cake.

This design was definitely a learning process for me. It involved a lot of handwork, shaping and attaching each wafer paper piece individually until the composition felt balanced and natural.

Definitely one of those cakes that pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me a few things along the way ✨

My philosophy has always been that a wedding cake should not only look beautiful — it must be delicious too.

I love creating flavours that offer different textures and experiences in every bite: soft, creamy, crunchy, silky, rich… a little journey of flavours and textures rather than just a sweet cake.

This beauty featured three different flavours:

🌿 Top Tier — Russian Honey Cake
My signature flavour. Delicate caramelised honey layers paired with a soft, silky and creamy filling.

🥥 Middle Tier — Raffaello
One of my top sellers. Coconut sponge layers, crunchy almonds, soft Raffaello filling, coconut mascarpone and coconut ganache.

🍫 Bottom Tier — Chocolate Walnut Caramel
Rich chocolate cake layered with caramelised walnuts, homemade salted caramel, creamy vanilla mascarpone filling and a layer of milk chocolate mousse.

This flavour is perfect for those who enjoy chocolate but don’t want something overwhelmingly chocolatey. It strikes a beautiful balance between rich, smooth and crunchy textures.

Because a wedding cake should taste as good as it looks 🤍

This cake was a labour of love… and wafer paper 😂

I forgot to record the first tier, so this video starts with the second one. By that stage I had already been cutting and attaching wafer paper strips for hours 🙈

How many strips were used on this cake? I honestly don’t know. Hundreds for sure. Maybe more 🤷🏼‍♀️

One week, three tiers and what felt like an endless amount of wafer paper later, this beauty was finally finished 🤍

This beauty has a bit of a story. 🤍

The order came in quite close to the wedding date, and besides all the hand-crafted details, there was another challenge: the cake had to be completely gluten-free.

The couple told me they had sampled gluten-free cakes elsewhere but hadn’t found one they truly enjoyed. During the tasting, they chose two flavors with the intention of picking just one for their wedding cake. Shortly afterwards, I received a message saying they couldn’t decide because they loved them both!

The solution? Have both, of course. 🤩🥳

What was originally planned as a single edible tier for the cake cutting became a celebration of two delicious gluten-free flavors instead.

Moments like these are incredibly rewarding. They remind me that special dietary requirements never have to mean compromising on taste.

This beautiful wedding took place , surrounded by breathtaking mountain views. ✨

One petal at a time.

Carefully placed to create movement, texture, and an abstract design that seems to flow across the cake. 🤍
