What's Happening at Kiss Me Cake?

We have to admit we don't get to post on here often, but if you follow us via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram you will know we're busy little bees in our bakery.

We're currently making some changes to Kiss Me Cake, so we thought we would update our news on here and tell you all about it.  Firstly...our website is very slowly getting to where we want it to be. For now though our blog doubles up as our website for us and you can find all of our products, services and pricing information on here.

...Our future plans...

Our biggest change is that we are going to be concentrating on our bespoke wedding cake service. This means we will no longer be providing a novelty cake service for birthdays. Although we have loved being creative and supplying cakes for these special occasions, we've found that our skills and time are best matched to the wedding market and it's the area we truly love working in.

We will however continue with our corporate cakes and we are working alongside other local businesses to offer a wider range of products and services.

Don't be afraid to get in touch with us if you do have a particular cake request. Although Kiss Me Cake Bakery will be a bespoke wedding cake service, if there's space in the diary for a novelty cake we will try and accommodate you.

We hope that you will continue to follow our cake adventures.

A Happy Customer

We have just finished a cake for a lovely customer.  She requested we copy a cake that she had seen originally on the cake website Cotton and Crumbs.  We fell in love with the cake immediately and have enjoyed every second spent creating this cake and the accompanying cupcakes.  We love a Bride with great taste and thankfully all of our Brides have.
 

 
We teamed up with Lorna from Shine Tiaras www.shinetiaras.co.uk/ who created this beautiful piece of jewellery for the cake.

Another Wedding Fayre

We love a good wedding fayre we do and this one we attended in April was brilliant!

We attended a great wedding fayre held by Grace and Favour Wedding Fayre (www.graceandfavourweddingfayres.co.uk/) at Cathedral House in Huddersfield.

We had a great time and met up with some fantastic fellow exhibitors. Check out their Facebook page for the list of exhibitors and have a look at the day.

We met some excited Brides and Grooms planning for their special occasion. One of the things that we love so much about exhibiting at wedding fayres is the people that we meet; we love to hear people's ideas for their cake and discuss the themes of their weddings.  Some of the products and services we now offer were suggested by customers we met at a wedding fayre, including our vintage teacup hire.

Image result for shine tiarasWe have also teamed up with Shine Tiaras www.shinetiaras.co.uk whom we met at our most recent wedding fayre.  Shine Tiaras create beautiful bridal accessories and they have agreed to create a bespoke piece for our next wedding cake. Cake jewellery accessorizes a cake beautifully and becomes a gorgeous keepsake long after the last piece of cake has been eaten.  We will be blogging about this new service we will be offering with Shine Tiaras later on in the year...watch this space.

Right now we are heading in to wedding season with our first big wedding order of the year starting next week.  We are really excited to be back working on our wedding orders, we absolutely love creating a dream wedding cake for our Bride and Groom and being a part of their special day.  We will try to keep you updated on what we are working on and don't forget you can follow us on Facebook and Twitter too!

We are huge Harry Potter fans so we were so excited when we received an order for a Sorting Hat cake.  Here he is made entirely of chocolate cake and chocolate icing...he smelt amazing!

Wentworth Wedding Fair 2015

We had a fabulous time at Wentworth Wedding Fair yesterday and met lots of brides and grooms to be.  It was also lovely to meet some of our fellow exhibitors.  The sun was shining and as we unloaded our cakes it was like we were in the pages of Pride and Prejudice, Wentworth Woodhouse is such a beautiful setting,  Mr Darcy would not have been out of place.

Here are some of the pictures from our stand:




We decided to go for bright sunshiny colours this time and incorporated greens and yellows to mark the start of springtime.  Our pink ombre cupcakes added a splash of summer colour, which tied in with this season's pink and coral bridesmaid colours on show by the bridal boutiques.

We displayed one of our newest cakes, which was decorated in the style of a birdcage.  We used lace and edible gold paint to create a cake that offers something a little bit different.







We had such a lovely day meeting brides and grooms to be and hope that we get to work with some of them this year and next.  We had a fabulous time.
