Vintage style weddings are going from strength to strength, with more and more brides opting for the DIY approach to theirs. So you’ve got the fabulous bunting and the vintage china teacups sorted but the cake may be one thing that’s a little bit daunting to approach without a professional… Until now!

This fabulous display of elegant and stylish cakes will add the finishing touch to any wedding reception or special occasion, be it your own, a family or friend’s or your customers’. You’ll learn how to make all of it in your day with us. We’ve baked over 30,000 cupcakes and in that time have learnt what brides want, as well as what looks most spectacular on a cake stand. We believe this is the perfect combination for your wedding photos, birthday party or portfolio!
