Wedding Cake for famous Swansea Bride & Groom

This week we have made an amazing Wedding Cake plus Wedding Desserts for a famous Swansea bride and groom. The cake is a 5 tier chocolate cake and for dessert we have made chocolate mousse served in a chocolate tulip cup decorated with a strawberry.

 

Fortunately help was in hand. This week we have had a pupil from Bryntawe School at La Creme on work placement. The girls name was Rhian and she came to spend a week with us to experience first hand what it like to work in "Cake Land". Rhian was very conscientious and hard working. Again just like Bradders before her she was a credit to her school and her family.

These are pictures of Rhian at work filling the tulip cup desserts with chocolate sponge prior to piping in the chocolate mousse.

Welsh True Taste Awards Dilemma

This week, the entries for the Welsh True Taste Awards had to be submitted for judging. We had a real dilemma trying to decide which products to enter.

Finally after much trialling we decided on a baked cheesecake with vodka soaked raisins. The problem was - What do we top it with?

Should we go for Rhubarb or Apple Crumble topping. Both tasted amazing. The staff were split down the middle, the customers in the patisserie were undecided and even Wayne and Nigel from CGL couldn't make up their mind.

Simple answer was to toss a coin.

In true X factor style      -       the winner is .........

Happy Birthday Imogen.

 

Recently, we have had requestsfor birthday cakes shaped like guitars, like fish, liverpool football shirt, fire engines, iggle piggly and even a horse's head.

High school musical is tame by comparison.

3 tier green wedding cake with frogs.

Sian's latest wedding cake creation is a little bit unusual. The bride who was geting married at the Glynclydach coach house asked Sian to match exactly a picture of a wedding cake she had seen in a magazine. This particular cake was 3 tiers, chocolate, decorated in shades of green and had two frogs - a female with red lips and a large male sitting on top.

This cake was great fun to make and it looked amazing when it was finished.
