Your Gloucestershire and Wiltshire Wedding - December/January 2023/2024 (Issue 42)

STATEMENT CENTREPIECES Big-day bakes are now taking centre stage at receptions with most wedding cakes placed on their own cake table in the centre of the room during the wedding breakfast before being moved to the reception to be cut. The taller the tiers, the more dramatic the statement. Claire Davey is the founder of Cake Daydreams based in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. She’s a talented wedding cake designer who reveals how many of her wedding couples are opting for personalisation on their cake, for example, their newly married initials. Sugar flowers and buttercream florals are also proving popular, especially a more natural style on the cake to replicate the fresh flowers supplied by the florists. www.cakedaydreams.co.uk www.facebook.com/CakeDaydreams www.instagram.com/cakedaydreams Charmaine Northcote, the founder of Swindon-based Bake Me Elegant specialises in bespoke wedding cakes and sweet favours.
