This weekend was probably the wettest weekend for a long time. My heart went out to my brides & grooms. One of our weddings was in a marquee in the garden of the bride’s mother. It couldn’t have been more beautiful, set on the banks of the fabulous Lake Windermere, the whole scene was idyllic. If only the sun had shone. But even in the rain the marquee looked fabulous. The family had obviously spent a lot of time choosing what it was to look like, bringing in lots of local touches like name cards made of slate, and little bottles of Damson gin (a local speciality) as wedding favours. I spoke to Mum who was struggling to come to terms with the dreadful weather on what was to be her daughter’s very special day, as far as I was concerned the sun was shining from within. It would be a special day!
One of my assistants said something this week which moved me. She said ‘Some days when I see our cakes finished, I want to shed a tear as they are so beautiful’. I know exactly what she meant, we spend so long designing with our couples a unique and simply stunning wedding cake. They take your breath away and it’s quite sad to see them leave. Judging by the number of cards we receive, I think they must feel the same too
