Wedding Cake and Daleks

A surprise was in store for us when we delivered our latest Wedding Cake creation to Margam Orangery last friday.

Sian had made a 3 tier ivory wedding cake with ivory roses and diamante diamonds. The room had been decorated with an autumn theme and the cake looked amazing in the beautiful Orangery setting.

Having set up the cake our eye was drawn to a movement at the end of the room. Sian went to investigate and before we knew what was happening she had been stunned....

 Rest assured the effects were only temporary and Sian has suffered no permanent damage.

Luckily there was a doctor in the house.

Camper Van Birthday Cake

Cup Cakes with roses and lillie's

Cup cakes are definitely the height of current fashion in Wedding Cakes.

Dexter's Christening Cake is in Hello Magazine

Last weekend Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson's son Dexter was christened and guess who was asked to bake the christening cake. Sian made dessert canapes for the evening event held at the couple's home and also the christening cake for Dexter. The whole of the day was captured by Hello magazine and Page 75 of this weeks Hello magazine has a picture of Charlotte, Gavin and Dexter cutting the cake.

We are absolutely delighted to bake a cake for two such inspirational national figures and judging by the pictures two natural and devoted parents.

Plus coming from Neath we are Ospreys fans and Gavin is a genius.
