Spoooooooky Cakes!

It's Halloween folks and there's nothing better than creating some scary cakes to impress everybody with! Phoebe threw a spooky Halloween party on Saturday and we baked up some terrifying treats. Have a look at our frightening fancies...

Make some chocolate spiders

To make some chocolate spider decorations just simply melt dark chocolate over a pan of water. Once melted, place in the fridge for a few minutes until the chocolate thickens slightly. Place in a piping bag with a small round nozzle on the end and pipe spots on to a sheet of grease-proof paper. Next pipe legs and then place in the fridge until the chocolate has set hard. Once set the spiders should be easy to remove from the paper and ready to decorate your Halloween cakes and desserts. Sprinkle with a bit of glitter to make them shine...eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Happy Halloween...mwahahahahahahahah!

Wentworth Woodhouse Wedding Fair

The very first wedding fair at Wentworth Woodhouse was an exciting event! We packed up our cakes and headed over to one of the most beautiful venues in South Yorkshire. Hidden away among the trees is Pemberley! OK so not really Pemberley but Wentworth wouldn't have been out of place in Pride and Prejudice, especially with Mr Darcy emerging from the lake in his wet shirt! 

Wentworth Woodhouse was such a beautiful setting for the wedding fair and we felt so privileged to be taking part. So many different exhibitors were there and it was fantastic to take a wonder around the beautiful interiors and look at some of the talent that was on display. Our favourites were a giant Ferrero Rocher heart, a beautifully set dining table and a giant chocolate fountain display...all unsurprisingly linked to food and chocolate! We shared the room with several cake exhibitors but the competition was healthy as we all seemed to bring something different to offer the Brides and Grooms. It was great to speak to other cake decorators and take some inspiration away.

For Wentworth we created a fairy tale cake, with pink sugar roses and topped with a colour changing castle. But we absolutely loved one of the exhibitors who had taken inspiration from the grand decor of the house and incorporated it all in to her cakes with beautiful gold piping and mouldings.





It was such a wonderful day and we are extremely grateful to the Rotherham Advertiser for including us in such a fantastic event at a stunning venue. We can't wait for the next event!
