What is your most memorable wedding?
the first wedding cake I made for a very good friend is definitely the most memorable. I practiced making the three different tiers at least twice, it took over two hours of colour mixing to get the perfect shade for the lily of the valley leaves and around 10 hours to create the topper (which was a bunch of sugar lily of the valley). My husband was best man and my young children helped transport the tiers and hand me my tools as I assembled it. Although every wedding cake I make, and every couple I work with, are memorable, this one holds a special place in my heart.

Describe your typical process with a couple.
In response to an initial enquiry, I will email through a pre-consultation questionnaire to gather basic information such as date, venue, any initial design ideas, flavours, budget etc. Then a couple would come to my studio for a tasting and face-to-face consultation, after which I produce a sketch and quote. The final design would then be tweaked if necessary and an order form raised. A month before the wedding, we would then have a conversation, either in person or by phone or email to finalise any details on design, delivery etc. I will liaise with your venue/wedding planner/florist or other relevant suppliers if necessary then on day, I deliver the cake and assemble it at the venue.
