Just got a few sneak peeks from the beautiful shoo

Just got a few sneak peeks from the beautiful shoot I took part in yesterday and I couldn't resist showing you a picture of the cake - the technique I used for this part of the cake is one of my favourites as I have very little control over how its different parts come out, and this letting go and letting the medium choose how it wants to express itself is always a surprise... And I find letting go to be hard and fascinating at the same time - it's how magic occurs.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Is it better to have a big or a small wedding cake

Is it better to have a big or a small wedding cake?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A lot of couples wonder what the "appropriate" size is for a wedding cake. I've been asked so many times "Is this to small, will it look like a birthday cake, will we have enough, will it look impactful enough?" and the simple answer is that there is no such a thing as the appropriate size for your cake.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The size of your cake, or cakes if you want multiple, depends on so many factors; the number of your guests, of course; what other foods you are having on the day; what your priorities are; what you want to have, visually; the design that you want may require a certain size; and so on.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Small cakes can be as impactful as their bigger counterparts, if they are displayed right. But no matter the size of your cake, if it is pushed in a corner, it will not have the impact you want.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So when we think about the size and shape of your cake or cakes, I ask you as many questions as possible to make your cake and its display the most appropriate FOR YOU. There ae so many ways we can play with the size of a cake, and as your designer that's my job to make you the best proposition!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Well it's been a while since I've shown my face around here 💕 I thought today was a good day to share what I've learned from my own wedding planning a few years ago!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨We had SO MUCH food left. And hadn't planned to - I literally shoved a full cake tier on the passenger seat of my best friend's car. That's why I always recommend my couples to buy some food containers, so whatever leftovers you have, you can give to your guests easily.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Make sure you have someone who will put aside some cake for you, with all the flavours your cake contains, as you are likely to be busy and might miss your own cake.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Don't worry about traditional timelines. It doesn't matter what other people do on their wedding day. Prioritise what is more important for you and make sure you allocate time where you want it to be.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨Make your wedding planning as special as your wedding day. It can bring up a lot of difficult feelings and history, so as you plan and organise things, create the atmosphere that you will make you enjoy it the most.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
