Cake Decoration

Whether you are booking me for your wedding or other celebration, the decoration on the cake is one of the most essential details. Together we can come up with a truly show-stopping design.

On this page I have listed some of my most popular decoration options, with everything from my speciality handmade sugar flowers to cardboard toppers – there is something for everyone.

Handmade Sugar Flowers

These truly are one-of-a-kind pieces for your cake, I really get into creating these highly realistic creations, spending many hours on the intricate petals and details to transform your cake. These can all be colour-matched to your bouquet and colour-scheme for the day. Then once your special day is over, you can keep them!

Silk Flowers

These faux flowers are an alternative option to fresh flowers that are preferred as a more food-safe alternative. These can be supplied by either myself or another supplier of your choosing. The arrangement of the flowers would need to match as close as possible to other floral arrangements you have on the day. I will be able to ensure they are wrapped and made food-safe on the day and I will apply to the cake in the design/layout that we have pre-agreed.

Fresh Flowers

These flowers offer a natural decoration to your cake, that are sure to match the rest of your floral bouquet and arrangements for the day. You have to take into consideration that some real flowers are not food safe and are in fact toxic, but in all cases they have to be wrapped and wired to be made food-safe to insert into the cake. Supply of these flowers can be by myself or your florist for the day. Please confirm with me on the type of flowers to be used so that I can advise on whether they are food-safe or not and also to confirm the layout on the cake.

Fondant Iced

Fondant iced cakes are the most elegant of all the cake finishes, with crisp sharp lines and a flawless finish. You can opt for any of the floral options with my sugar flowers being the most popular for a complete hand-detailed finish. In the summer heat this is one of the best options as it can withstand heat if left out for the day. All fondant cakes are finished with a thick layer of white chocolate ganache and a super-thin fondant finish.

Buttercream/Ganache/Semi-Naked

Buttercream cake finishes are popular for their rustic look and work well with any of the floral options available. There are different finish options available including semi-naked which is the most popular, a combed effect, rustic combed, pallet-knife texture and others. These are all finished in a white buttercream/ganache outside layer.

Acrylic Paddle Toppers

To personalise your cake, be it a wedding or another celebration. These can be customised from wording to colour on a clear acrylic paddle.

Cardboard Toppers

Cardboard toppers can be personalised to match any theme, in a variety of colours, these can also be multi-layered for a 3D effect.
