Elizabeth's Cake Emporium would like to say a big thank you to everyone who visited our stand at the Luxury Wedding Show yesterday. We showcased our new range of luxury cakes fit for a queen and our stand attracted a LOT of praise and attention.
The 'star' of our stand was our one of a kind 'Chandelier Cake'. Standing over 4 feet tall and inspired by the wedding cake from the movie 'Sex and the City 2, elements of the cake took several weeks to complete and we used over 10,000 crystals in the execution of the design. It drew several gasps of admiration from so many brides and it was very gratifying to know that all the work that went into making the cake was appreciated.
Another much admired cake was our very tall 6 tiered ivory cake with sugar flowers. It had very realistic and botanically correct sugar roses, calla lilies, hydrangeas, parrot tulips, assorted sugar greenery and sugar butterflies cascading round it. A number of visitors could not believe that the flowers were not fresh and some people had a sneaky feel to confirm that they were indeed made of sugar.
Best of all, the talking point was the quality of our cakes. From previous experience, we actually brought more samples with us this time, yet we actually ran out of them before the end of the exhibition. There was a general consensus that we had the best tasting cakes at the show with many brides coming back to thank us. Out of the dozen of cakes flavours, the most popular were Bailey's, triple chocolate, Champagne and Strawberries, Vanilla, white chocolate and lemon.

Sometimes, certain things are just meant to be. After a busy past few weeks at Elizabeth's Cake Emporium, I was thinking about how nice it would be to make an old school type cake.
Specifically, I had a basket weave cake in mind but I kept thinking of how I could give it a modern twist. By sheer coincidence, I had a lovely client contact me specifically to request a cake with lots of botanically correct sugar flowers for her mother's 70th birthday party. The reason she came to us was because she was very impressed with our sugar flowers and she felt confident that we would do a great job (no pressure then!).
In turn, as her mother used to work at Kew Gardens, she has an expert knowledge of how her favourite flowers should look and her expectations were also high.
We set to work in creating a white wicker basket of flowers with an arrangement that included sugar roses, hydrangeas, freesias, lilies, three types of orchids, assorted greenery and even sugar butterflies. Each flower was gently put in place as anyone who knows how fragile sugar flowers are can understand.
The client's reaction to the cake when she came with her husband to pick it up was amazing. But better still on the day after the party, I received this note which made it all worthwhile :0)

Hi Elizabeth
I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing cake. My Mum was delighted with it and all the guests were really impressed. It looked fantastic and tasted delicious. It really helped make the party a success. A true work of art - I really appreciate it.
