Cakey catch up

It has been some time, I know, since I shared my recent cakes with you. So this post my have to come in two parts! Unfortunately one of the downsides from my business Nevie-Pie Cakes doing so well is that I have less and less time to blog, which is one of my absolute pleasures in life. Hopefully now that the Summer holidays are here I will get a little bit more time to keep you up to date, but I'm not making any promises!



This cake was for an art deco themed wedding with a portrait topper of the bride and groom. I had a really lovely email from the bride about her cake. 'Thank you so much for our beautiful wedding cake! It looked absolutely stunning and tasted delicious - the lemon sponge with passionfruit curd worked really well and made for a summery and unusual dessert. We almost couldn't bear to cut it but had a small army of very over-excited children egging us on! It was a real pleasure to work with you throughout the design process and your attention to detail and skill made all my ideas for the cake come to life.'


This was a dummy cake made for a monochrome themed photoshoot. you can see the whole shoot on the Bespoke Bride Blog

This cake was based on the couples wedding stationary and their flowers. It was a little bit stressful as I was on holiday the week of their wedding, but they really wanted a cake made by me. So we made lots of testers and came up with a cake that would still taste fresh two weeks after being made. I was relieved to hear after the wedding that the cake was perfect and tasted great,













































A vintage style cake, again based on the wedding flowers, ranunculus and anenomes.

Shabby chic wedding cake














































This is last weekend's wedding cake. It was based on fabric that the bride used for bunting and jam jar covers.



















 I really enjoyed painting this design as it took me back to my textile designing years.

More wedding cakes


The vintage wedding fair is taking place this Sunday so my wedding cake machine has been on overload.
Here are the latest, for your viewing pleasure.
This one above (I call it 'grey cake' but I should probably think of a more romantic name) was a bit of a trial and although I like the finished result I started again.


This is mark two. I call it Florabunda and it is inspired by the sherbet pastels all over the runways this season.

Rosette cake

If you are anywhere near Milton Keynes you really should pop in and see the show it is going to be fabulous!

Wedding cakes



I am attending a vintage wedding fair at Milton Keynes on the 26th February, so I am busy making cake dummies. I want to do a really nice photo shoot with them but I have no time at the moment, so I thought I would share them anyway. If you fancy coming along and saying hello you can find all the details here.
