Last weekend, we had the honour of creating this striking wedding cake for Samantha and Ryan at luxurious Hawkstone Hall. This cake was a true blend of personal touches, romantic elegance and craftsmanship. The key design elements were the intricate hand-piped monogram, the handmade sugar flowers made to mirror their fresh florals, and the delicate hand-dyed silk ribbon draped softly down to the table. It was the perfect centerpiece for a grand celebration, and we're thrilled to have been a part of their special day. 💍🌸

Blooming with love and a touch of summer magic, Georgina and Adam’s wedding cake is adorned with hand-made wild sugar flowers in happy pastels.

✨ Holly and Sean’s wedding day was a true reflection of their devotion, to each other and everyone they hold dear. Every detail was nothing short of spectacular. 💕

Knowsley Hall, steeped in history, set the perfect backdrop as Holly and Sean walked down the aisle of this historic landmark and we ensured their wedding cake was as luxurious and breathtaking as the venue itself.

Their four-tier sponge cake made up of vanilla, red velvet, chocolate and salted caramel, was designed with intricate hand-piped sugar detailing creeping up the front of the cake to their bespoke monogram, gilded with edible gold lustre. For added drama, a hand-piped sugar stand graced the base of the cake.

The sugar flowers perfectly matched the stunning floral arrangements by Red Floral Architecture and a delicate sugar bow complemented the detailing on Holly’s gorgeous wedding gown.✨

Incorporating gold into your wedding cake can add a glamorous touch to your special day but it doesn’t always have to be blingy…It can be soft and delicate - the way we included gold in the wedding cake we made for Olivia and Ross is a great example of this. 🌟
Along with the delicate hand piping that matched the beautiful design of Olivia’s wedding dress and altering the height of the middle tier we created a unique and sophisticated cake that really stood out!Each tier told its own story, from the intricate sugar flowers to the subtle gold monogram and delicate piping on the deeper tier and the soft gold bottom tier that really made the ivory hand piping pop! It was a dreamy creation! 💛

HAPPY EASTER!
I love a collaboration! They add something different and a touch of magic to our working week so I was thrilled when asked us to use their ‘JUST ROLL WITH IT’ Sugarpaste in white, tiger orange and pastel green to create these delightful Easter treats.
I was so impressed! This sugarpaste is really versatile and so easy to use and the bonus is - it tastes great too!

HARLAXTON MANOR … what a privilege it was for us to create the wedding cake for Jack and Alex and set it up at this incredible venue.✨

This design included handpiped royal iced scrolls and layers of over piping with delicate embroidery and a handpiped gold monogram to match their wedding stationary. A myriad of our handmade sugar flowers to blend seamlessly with the fresh florals by and we must not forget a handmade model of Stuart, their beloved pet dog 💙

A joy from start to finish - thank you SO much for asking us to make your special cake. xx

Whatever your wedding budget, it’s our aim to empower and inspire you with ideas and options for your big day.

It’s not always necessary to have a cake designed just for you. Sometimes you just need good design.

In 2019 we embarked on our project offering those with smaller cake budgets a range of ‘off-the-peg’ wedding cakes designed by Suzanne and available to order online.

So whether your budget is a few hundred or a few thousand pounds, get in touch and we’d be delighted to find a wedding cake for you.

Happy New year from The Frostery Studio 🥳

We threw everything we had at 2022 so are appreciating a little time to rest, reflect and reconnect.

Back in August we returned to the mesmerising Palm House in Liverpool for the wedding of Sam & Jeff. Surrounded by the hundreds of gorgeous tropical plants housed in the great Victorian glasshouse, the test was to make sure our passed muster amongst such beautiful botanicals.

We hope 2023 brings you much love, laughter and joy.
