CAKES 51 GWEN LAUGHARNE CAKES Gwen from Gwen Laugharne Cakes (https://gwen-laugharne.square.site) shares two of her favourite, contrasting cake designs. The combination of the semi-white cake, the vibrant colour of the flowers and citrus fruits, and the personalised wooden topper creates a harmonious blend of flavours and symbols of connection, with a natural and rustic feel and aesthetics that are perfectly tailored to the preferences and personalities of the wedding couple. It’s not just a cake; it’s a work of art that tells a story and brings joy to the couple and their guests. The second design perfectly encapsulates the romance and elegance that complement the season of this couple’s wedding. The combination of the lush greenery background, fresh pink tones of a variety of roses and the elegance of a four-tiered ombre effect cake adds a sense of sophistication and artistry to the cake, perfectly complementing the overall ambience of the late summer season while welcoming autumn. www.carmelteresamccabe.co.uk CLAIRE LOUISE CAKE STUDIO Claire from Claire Louise Cake Studio (www.clairelouisecakestudio.com) shares two of her designs that focus on different themes. I have been a cake designer for a few years now. Designing wedding and celebration cakes is my passion and I love being a part of someone’s special day. The first cake is from a recent shoot for Le Wedding Fayre in Le Pub, Newport. The theme was Vegas meets retro! I was so excited about this theme that I went with a two-tiered lambeth style in a very pale peach and topped it with Maraschino cocktail cherries. I love the look with its delicate swirls and I think it fits well with the theme. The second cake is a design close to my heart. I was asked by a close friend to design an LGBTQ+ wedding cake for their same-sex marriage celebration. It's brightly coloured with a rainbow-effect design and decorated with delicate wafer paper painted in bright colours. I hand-crafted two models in sugar paste, modelled on the couple holding hands and sitting on top of the cake. I had so much fun designing and creating both of these cakes.
