Rose and Fuchsia Wedding Cupcake & Cake Tower!

Here’s a lovely and sweet cupcake tower topped with a floral adorned cake that we created for a late spring wedding. A sumptuous and over-hanging bouquet of ivory roses and lilac fuchsia flowers were requested. We also whipped up a large batch of matching cupcakes in some pretty mouth-watering flavours; Mango & Passion Fruit, Red Velvet, Lemonade and Raspberry!

 The cake itself was a lovely and moist vanilla sponge filled with delicious strawberry jam and iced with vanilla fondant. We then embossed an ivory fondant covered cake drum with a pretty lace mould, trimmed the board with grosgrain ribbon and once we placed the cake on top it was finished with royal icing polka dots, a royal icing pearl border and handmade sugar flowers!

The bouquet is made of 7 ivory roses, 9 fuchsia buds, 9 small fantasy berries, 9 fuchsia leaves, 8 rose leaves and 10 fuchsia flowers all made from scratch by our hard-working hands and from custom coloured gum paste!

To accompany the cake the wedding tower was completed with 100 cupcakes. We baked them all fresh and from scratch before filling the Lemonade cupcakes with home-made lemon curd and the Raspberry cupcakes with home-made raspberry confiture! For the Mango and Passion Fruit cupcakes we frosted them with a lovely two toned swirl; lilac for the passion fruit flavour and ivory for the mango flavour!

Antique Red Rose Wedding Cake!

Here’s an eye-catching wedding cake we created for a ceremony this weekend. We were asked to make a three tiered creation incorporating red roses. We kept a lovely traditional look to this cake by only adding small details such as the quilted and pearl studded board, royal icing pearl borders and fondant Neo-classical inspired frames alternating on each tier. The dramatic deep red roses were to remain the key focal aspect of this cake so we made them a little more playful by adding curled fondant rose petals drifting down the sides.

A total of 40 hand made gumpaste roses adorn the top and sides with bright pops of green rose leaves. The small fondant rose petals were added as a finishing touch to create a romantic yet slightly whimsical feel to an otherwise dramatic wedding cake.

We love the detailed frames which are somewhat reminiscent of Neo-classical medallion backed chairs. Adding these to each tier of the cake helped to incorporate texture and dimension as well as a wonderfully theatrical antique look to the end result.

We thoroughly enjoyed working on this design as we got to play with some elegant yet dramatic ideas from crafting dozens of red roses to the idea of incorporating an antique aspect in the design.
