Need a Civil Celebrant ?

I came across a lovely lady today, almost by accident, who happens to be a Civil Celebrant. Genuinely warm and friendly and a supporter of the GLBTI community. As more of us look for ways of celebrating our same-sex relationships it is great to know that there are people out there who genuinely want to be a part of that celebration.

If you are looking for a celebrant then perhaps look at contacting Elaine Searle.

Cake in a birdcage

Unusual serving suggestion ???

Well we got there....after quite a few moments of head scratching - the cake is in the birdcage. This one isn't going to be served so we kept the cage fully intact. A real cake in this situation would have meant us taking the bottom off the cage.

Can you work out how we did it ?

Paper anniversary

Celebrating a first year anniversary for a gay couple was the brief on this cake. It was bought by the friend of a couple who had got married in France last year and were unable to include most of their friends in the celebration, so decided to hold an event to mark their first anniversary. Year one is a paper anniversary and so we were asked if we could have the couple standing up in the middle of a piece of paper....which in the end was pretty hard to convey. it looked like material !

So we came up with the idea of having them ride an origami swan. Origami swans are pretty recognisable as being made of paper and making the icing look like paper was a bit of a challenge (all that you can see is made of sugar) but the hardest thing about making the cake was not seeing the reaction of the people the cake was for.

What do you call a Gay Wedding ?

Gay Wedding, Commitment Ceremony, Civil Union...what do you call it ?

I guess until they formalise the whole situation around gay unions all of the above will apply. The great thing is that when two people decide to commit to each other all that is forgotten and a lovely day is usually had by all. Creating a cake that often becomes the focal point at such an occasion is such a great thing to do and the reaction you get gives you such job satisfaction.

This cake was created to symbolise the gentleness between a couple when they are in love. I love the holding hands !

Magnolia Wedding/Commitment cake

Popular wedding cake design and a very flexible cake design. This was designed to be a cake that fitted in with the overall colour scheme of the day.

Recent Commitment/Wedding cakes

Well before I get stuck in to the regular updates I thought that I would give a quick catch-up on the last cake I created before I started this blog as it has turned out to be a popular design.

A delicate looking commitment cake was the aim here and I am pleased that we achieved this with a feeling of a cascading flowers with butterflies and dragonflies. The metal weaved ball on the top add a contemporary feel to the cake.

Welcome to my blog !

Well after all this time I have decided to start a blog about my cakes. Mainly because it is a great way share people's stories or experiences. That's the great thing about the web, you can dip your toes into someone's life for just a second and gain some inspiration, ideas or just enjoy their experiences from a far. I hope you enjoy.
