I’m SO excited to share this #styledshoot with you! It was a magical day working with such a talented team. Special thanks for Laura & Victoria of @wrenandmayflowers for leading the charge and asking me to be involved. I’ve been wanting to do a cake like this for ages, at first glance two tiered traditional white, but on closer inspection something else. All the texture and lines representing the scars that make us human. I’ll be sharing some more this week, but in the meantime check out the amazing team of women who worked together to make this magic happen: Flowers & styling: @wrenandmayflowers Photography: @oxiphotography Model: @silverkitsune_ MUA: @makeupbyleannabiggs Hair: @charlenejeanxo Venue: @fernhillfarm1

From the piped detail to the sugar flower arrangement there is nothing we don't love about this beautiful cake we delivered recently to @lutonhoohotel. We adore the colour scheme of golds, burgundy and ivory. It was perfectly suited to the Romanov Suite. #cakemaker #contemporarycakedesign #contemporaryweddingcake #modernweddingcake #uniqueweddingcake #texturedweddingcake #weddingcake #weddingcakes #instacake #cakedecorating #cakeartist #cakedesigner #bedfordshirebride #hertfordshirewedding #londonweddingsupplier #weddingcakesbuckinghamshire #berkshirebride #londonwedding #hertfordshireweddingsupplier #weddingcakeslondon #londonbride #bedfordshirewedding #buckinghamshireweddingsupplier #weddingcakeslondon #lutonhoowedding #weddingsatlutonhoo #lutonweddings

And while we are talking about sculptural cakes…. a close up on this Terracota fine beauty that I made to celebrate the new Fig Tree Restaurant with some cool people! I can tell you…. it was a little challenging to get those fine thin curves happening! But, I managed and that is what matters! Happy voluptuous curves! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 .

When @katie_wachowiak makes the most amazing wall of flowers in the middle of the room, you pretty much have to move the cake to get it in the shot. Seriously though, the flowers were so stunning! 🍂🌷🌿 Congratulations Jasmine and Cameron! | 🍰 by @hartecake & @heatheranneleavitt | 📋 by @sarahrhodesboyceweddings
