Your Wedding cake in Miniature

I just realized I never shared these photos of a fun commission I undertook last summer (2012). It was for a client's son's wedding cake and she wanted it recreated in half inch scale. The cake had red roses around each level, chocolate sauce dripping down the sides and a diamante letter 'D' on the top. Very pretty, quite unusual.

Fun challenge. I was delighted to recreate this cake for her. Have a look at the photo below showing the original alongside it.

If you ever want your wedding cake re-created in miniature then drop me an email and I'd be happy to discuss it. Meanwhile, here's some of my other wedding cakes I have made...

Wedding Cake Feature in American Miniaturist

It's such hot and gorgeous weather here in England - even hotter than LA at the moment. My mum's out sunbathing and we're planning on a BBQ tonight. Fun when we can do these sorts of things in the UK. In LA a BBQ was just a regular meal!

Anyway, I hope everyone's enjoying the weather wherever you are.... guess it's winter in some parts of the world. This post is to show you an article I was in recently. It's American Miniaturist's June 2012 issue which came out at the start of this month, and it's all about weddings. Kind of fun for me since I am planning my own wedding these days! Hope you enjoy, and if you get your hands on the whole magazine then check out the awesome wedding cakes others artisans have made and the incredible bridal dresses....

This page shows a black and white wedding cake made by another artisan, not me, but the page includes some blurb with my name on it, so I thought I'd share it!

Made it to the Front

Yay! Only the third time, so I do still get a kick out of making it to the front page of Etsy. See the last time I made it over with this magical mini here (clicking this link will take you over to my other blog)

Thanks to everyone who has written to me regarding my big move across the pond. :) I am enjoying being back thus far since the weather is mild and I've already been able to eat English sausages (oh how I missed them), curry and homemade Cornish pasties.

Stay tuned at my shop for a couple more Christmas minis to be added soon... :)

A Pink Wedding Cake for a Blushing Bride

A friend just brought to my attention that I haven't blogged about my Pink Ladurée Wedding Cake yet! So here goes...

You've seen my Ivory Laduree Wedding Cake, and now here's my fabulously, frivolously French Pink Ladurée Wedding Cake which is about as near a replica as I could make of the iconic Ladurée version.
It took me many days and hours to ice this cake by hand, add all the little pink flowers, silver balls and sugared almonds. Unlike the ivory wedding cake, this one has the Ladurée patisserie label on the top.

It is 1/12 (one inch) scale and available at my online shop right now.

And here's the original Ladurée Pink Wedding Cake from the Ladurée website.

Wedding Cakes now listed

You can now find my Laduree Wedding Cakes on my online Etsy store.

They took me days and days to make, as both have hand piped icing, sugared almonds, tiny flowers and sit on Laduree cake boards, just like the real deals.

These cakes are 1/12 th the size (one inch scale) and handmade by myself out of polymer clay.

Enjoy!

Nice day for a White Wedding...!

Since Sumaiya of the Mini Food Blog kindly showed some photos of my Pink Laduree Wedding Cake, I was prompted to actually blog about my wedding cakes here too! I've been getting around to it...

So firstly, here's my fabulously, frivolously French Ivory Laduree Wedding Cake which is about as near a replica as I could make of the iconic Laduree version.
It took me many days and hours to ice this cake by hand, add all the little white flowers, silver balls and sugared almonds, not to mention making the figurines on the top!

It is 1/12 (one inch) scale and will be available at my online shop in the very near future. Stay tuned for the pink one also. :)

This is the Laduree original in Paris.
