Pretty Rose Hat Box Mother’s Day Cake!

Mother’s Day cake time! We had a few requests last year for a party cake the whole family could enjoy on the special day. Soo… we thought of combining cake and a pretty bouquet of flowers. When dreaming up ideas we kept coming back to stylish little rose hat boxes and thought it’d be perfect to make a cake version. It’s a white 6 inch cake with gold accents and fresh pink roses. For a little more info about this lovely little number why not keep reading…

Rose filled hat box Mother’s Day cake!

6″ Lemon Zest & Raspberry cake for £35

Available via local pick-up (Kingston-upon-Hull area) only

PLEASE NOTE: The price for this cake is a promotional offer for Mother’s Day 2020 only and is not indicative of our pricing for a standard 6 inch cake.

Each cake is presented in a re-usable and recyclable presentation box. We love the idea of leaving this ribbon tied cake with a bottle of champagne and bundles of roses ready to be found. They all feature our pink branded satin ribbon and a shimmering swing tag tied in a bow. We’re a little obsessed with our new branded ribbon incase you’ve not noticed.

The cake itself is a Lemon Zest & Raspberry flavour; just like one of our Mother’s Day cupcakes. The cake features lemon zest layers smothered with lemon and white chocolate buttercream and filled with a gorgeous raspberry preserve. Wonderfully fruity and perfect for the coming spring months. Below is a cheeky little shot of the inside of the cake just to tease.

Ahh… just look at those amazingly pink roses! We love anything that tackles two jobs in one so a bouquet of roses AND a cake in one is a definite win.

Please note: The pink of the roses may vary slightly due to availability, but we will always do our best to get an exact match.

Vintage Hat Box Cake with Hand-Painted Violets and Peonies!

Lovely hat box cakes are always popular requests for us around this time of year. They’re vintage styling and softer colours seem synonymous with the light-hearted spring season. Earlier this week we created this wonderful peony and violet themed hat box cake for a 40th birthday! It features dainty hand-painted florals and a sweet plum, peach, juniper green, ivory and blush pink palette.

The cake itself was a classic Madagascan vanilla cake sandwiched with fresh Madagascan vanilla buttercream and home-made raspberry preserve which was then iced with fragrant marshmallow fondant tinted in a lovely blush pink colour.

We created the large voluminous bow and open peony flower a few days in advance so that each could set into fluid shapes and ruffles before being handled and placed on the finished design.

Each white stripe and plum coloured scallop edging was measured and spaced accordingly before we began hand painting small peony blooms, violets, leaves and tiny berries onto each. We planned out a pattern that alternates around the cake with one stripe featuring peonies centered and in each corner and another stripe with bundles of florals placed at the top and bottom.

To balance out the peach of the sugar peony flower we decided to create an edible gift card and envelope out of white and peach gum paste which was then placed at the top opposite side of the flower. The message was completely hand-painted and left to dry before we carefully nestled it inside our little envelope!

We hope this vintage delight was enjoyed by the lucky birthday girl! The very last thing we heard about this cake was that no one wanted to cut it at all.
