Alice & Linh 7/3/20

Alice & Linh were one of my last weddings before Covid stopped all weddings and events for months. They had a huge extravagant celebration featuring lush florals, fairy tale decor and even fireworks! Thought it might be nice to have a look back!

Sunay & Kuppal 28/11/20

Sunay & Kuppal celebrated on the hottest day of the season! It was a stressful delivery due to the extreme heat, but the cake held up and made it through the lovely ceremony and reception at The Mint in Sydney’s CBD.

The cake was custom made to be soy free due to an intolerance. They chose a vegan chocolate cake with chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream. The outside was finished in clean white Swiss meringue buttercream, a painted gold drizzle and decorated with lush fresh red florals.

It’s hard to believe the current state of the world, let alone the wedding industry. COVID-19 has left us all in limbo, trying to do the best we can, keeping each other safe and waiting to move forward. Rose & Michael’s wedding happened about a week and a half before any of the restrictions were put into place. Their wedding of 120 people seems unheard of now, only a month later. Looking back on the gorgeous photos it’s really helped me to reconnect with why I love working on wedding cakes and feel for a moment the immense joy that these celebrations bring. Seeing how happy they are and how beautiful the entire celebration came together brings so much hope to a space where I may not get to work on another wedding cake for six months.

Rose & Michael originally came to me looking for a semi naked single tier vegan wedding cake. They loved the look of large single tier statement cakes and had a vision of native florals decorating the top that matched the bridal bouquet. I essentially had no work to do to design this…haha…they already knew exactly what they wanted. We met up in my studio, along with their son, in order to fine tuned some of the sizing details and that was that! Their massive 11” round semi naked cake was coconut with salted caramel ganache. The cake is light and fluffy with a generous amount of desiccated coconut throughout the batter. The salted caramel is homemade with burnt sugar savoury notes throughout. We had additional kitchen cakes to make up the full 120 dessert slices required. Believe me, that’s a lot of cake!

The cake presented beautifully at Three Blue Ducks in Rosebery. The venue is a huge industrial warehouse with gentle light and greenery everywhere. It’s a real mix of rustic modern that matches their delicious food highlighting seasonal local produce. Huge long tables ran the length of the space with a wine barrel set up at the end for the cake. The styling all tied together perfectly.
