The introduction to your journey with me
Your Wedding Cake Journey
Traditionally a wedding cake symbolises prosperity and good luck, it’s a sign of a long lasting happy union. The first cut and bite symbolises the joining of your lives together. Your cake is so much more than a tick on the wedding planning list or a second thought, she is there throughout your day, she’s a centrepiece to your reception and party, a memory and an experience. And yes I did just call her a she, she's going to be a real beauty.
​
From choosing what your cake will taste like, to design and styling should be one of the most exciting aspects of planning your wedding day. It should be visually beautiful, suited to your story and ridiculously tasty. I am passionate about your cake being a meaningful part of your big day, the icing on the cake if you'll excuse the pun and I will be with you every step of the journey to ensure it is.
