Your West Midlands Wedding - June/July (Issue 80)

“A flavour which I find is always popular is my version of a Bakewell tart. almond sponge with cherry preserve, flaked almonds and delicious icing.” – Claire from Claire’s Creative Bakes. “We are seeing more organic flavours like delicate elderflower and lemon, rose and pistachio, carrot cake and of course vegan options.” – Samantha from Cake Fantastique. www.clairescreativebakes.co.uk “Whatever you choose, it’s all about doing what you want and love, so enjoy it!” – Samantha from Cake Fantastique. www.cakefantastique.com and www.anthonyhallphotography.com “I think 2023 will see more naked cakes but with dried flowers and pretty pastel, palms as decoration. Stencils can be so stunning and in my opinion not used enough.” – Claire from Claire’s Creative Bakes. OUR TOP TIPS ❤ For your evening food, why not opt for a crepe or waffle van? ❤ If you’ve decided against a traditional white bake, then ruffles are a fun alternative. Not only will it make the design stand out but it’s also a fun way of incorporating your theme. ❤ Flowers are a wonderful way of decorating your bake. Blooms can be carefully painted to look like a watercolour masterpiece, made using sugar or even sculpted out of icing. ❤ A marble effect looks sophisticated and is a great way of incorporating your chosen colour scheme. These fab bakes can be decorated using flowers or a variety of shapes that complement your favourite hues. www.clairescreativebakes.co.uk www.cakefantastique.com and www.anthonyhallphotography.com CONTACT THE EXPERTS Cake Fantastique, www.cakefantastique.com Claire’s Creative Bakes, www.clairescreativebakes.co.uk CAKES AND SWEET TREATS 45
