A lot of cake makers don't have websites, especially up North it seems, so it was one thing trying to find a good looking cake, and another trying to get them to make it dairy-free for us.
And then we stumbled upon Jane Asher, the goddess of cake making.
I fell in love with her cakes as soon as I saw her website - absolutely beautiful!
We spoke to her, and lo and behold, she could do our cake for us. I was thrilled!
She advised that as there was only one person who really needed the dairy-free option, just to make the top tier with no butter. She said this would make it more stable.
So we went with that and sent her all our mood boards and colour schemes to work with.
I have to say, the cake was absolutely delicious. It was the most amazing, delicious wedding cake I have ever tasted.
We chose a chocolate sponge with praline butter cream - goats butter used in the top tier.
I tried both the non dairy, and the dairy tiers and they were both completely divine. I was so happy!
Everyone commented on how beautiful it was, to taste and to look at. It was stunning.
The staff at the venuev kept the whole of the bottom tier for us and had managed to rescue all of the flowers decorations. The rest of the cake lasted for a whole week afterwards despite handing it out to all our neighbours, family, and even my driving instructor.
The flowers were absolutely incredible, they were all edible and just looked so so real. I am trying to find a way of preserving them and displaying them nicely. Do let me know if you have any ideas.
For now they are just in a glass bowl on top of a cupboard.
Mmmm.... what a perfect cake for such a special occassion!
