Being highly customisable with different flavours and colours, they enchant couples who want to make the big day even more elegant. “Wedding cupcakes are a great option for those who opt for a smaller wedding cake and would like to complement it with another sweet treat. Cupcakes are full of elegance and can also be given as wedding favours guaranteed to delight your guests.” As well as a macaron version, Sue has another towering option to bring to the party..., “I now offer doughnut towers,” she tells us. It seems that delicious macarons are where it's at this year, as Claudia is in a agreement and has joined the bite-size revolution. “Macarons as table favours are requested more and more and I’m offering them to all my couples alongside the well-established and much-loved cookie favours,” she says. “Macarons make a decadent little treat, can be completely tailored to the colours and theme of your wedding, and the fillings I’ve chosen for this season are delicious. White chocolate and passion fruit, lemon and lemon curd, vanilla and raspberry are already the most popular.” If your budget won’t stretch to a cake and these tasty morsels, but you love the idea, Erica and Charlie from Bluebell Kitchen have the solution: “It’s possible to create a tasty tower of macarons topped with a tier of cake in your favourite flavour. We love this combination and it gives our couples a little extra flexibility with flavour too.” We love how versatile these moreish little bites of joy are! The ladies from Bluebell Kitchen continue, “We’ve noticed an evolution from simple macaron favour boxes to gourmet, handpainted, personalised versions for each guest. We’ve had couples ask to add a personalised macaron at each place setting, with each of their guests’ initials painted onto them in an ornate design.” ALL IN HAND Greta says, “In my opinion, contemporary cakes with clean decoration, marble effects and muted tones are the biggest trends so far.” This is something that Erica and Charlie have noticed too, taking it to the next level. “Handpainted wedding cakes have been around for a while, so have marble versions, but what makes ours different is that we combine the two! Our unusual, abstract marble effect is hand-painted almost like oil on a canvas, acting as a themefitting background to sugar flowers.” Let Them Eat Cakes Bluebell Kitchen | © www.fionakellyphotography.com Let Them Eat Cakes
