There is such a misconception around wedding cakes

There is such a misconception around wedding cakes. Couples tend to feel like they either have to be these traditional, heavy, old style white pieces; or have a naked cake with a few fruits and flowers.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The reality is that your possibilities are endless; whether you want a floral explosion, a painted and tall masterpiece, something minimal and contemporary, you can have a cake that reflects your wedding and you as a couple.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Weddings would be too sad if you could only choose between two options - don't be scared to be fearless and go for what you want rather than what you think is acceptable. In this case, as long as it isn't offensive, anything that makes you happy is acceptable.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

My heart longs to get back to a fairer normality.

My heart longs to get back to a fairer normality. A normality that means I can hug my friends and family close but that does not mean going back to a world for which injustice is the stuff of everyday, caring about the planet is a one day a year thing and talking openly and vulnerably is seen as weird.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are all grieving different aspects of our realities but today my heart felt heavy for all of us, wedding suppliers and couples, who have seen their dreams evaporate in the last few months.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Planning a wedding can be overwhelming and stressful even when it should only be a time to rejoice - throw in a pandemic and having to postpone a full team of suppliers as well as all your anticipation and excitement and this is the situation we are in.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
From carefully selected plans we are now looking at the unknown and we cannot even hug it out.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To all of you, my wedding family and my couples - one way or another this will pass and your celebrations will be beautiful because they will still be you.

My cakes are for couples who want more than just d

My cakes are for couples who want more than just dessert; they are for those who want a fuller experience, an edible masterpiece but who also care about the effect of their wedding on the planet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sustainability is paramount for me and I strive to make my business as eco-friendly as possible; from not using single plastic in my kitchen to making them all plant-based, I work every day to find new ways of making my work as respectful of the planet but also of all lives as possible.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With me, you don't get "just a cake" - you get a unique design, the assurance of knowing your guests will all remember this centrepiece, and the comfort that you haven't compromised on any of your values.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I cannot wait to create these for you again ❤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
